Joy is revealed as one awakens to their spiritual nature. This joy comes from sincere yoga practice, growing through stages of peace, bliss, ecstasy and, finally, arriving at ananda, ever-new joy. Joy transforms and empowers, as well as thrills and delights. Discover how you can cultivate joy through yoga.
Yoga is a path of progressive happiness. After finding peace and serenity, ecstasy and bliss can gradually develop. Then comes the bursting joy — an ever-new, never-boring, wondrous connection with the Divine. This advanced joy is called ananda.
Joy is an underlying factor in yoga progress. Maybe it bubbles within your being, bringing intoxication and delight. Possibly it is a steady joy, like a flowing river. It may begin in your heart, spine or brain. One miraculous day it fills all the cells of your body. This joy indicates you have a strong connection with soul and Spirit. In addition to making you extremely happy, it empowers you to live more and more like a yogi. When joy comes, it is a major life-changing event.
