Shamrocks & Yoga

Did you know that St. Patrick used the shamrock - a 3-leafed plant, to illustrate the Christian teaching of the Holy Trinity (3 persons in one God)?  The Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit, are distinct yet coexist in unity.  In yoga, we honor our Self through the unity between the mind, body and breath.  All three elements connected are essential for an enlightened practice.
