A yoga practitioner observes the turbulent world but does not participate in it. They observe not only the world but also their subtle thoughts objectively and dispassionately through detachment and transcendence.

Yes, indeed.

A yoga practitioner knows that when they assume a yoga posture, they stay in one pose and observe. This observing self is also referred to as the ‘witness’ or ‘true self.’ Knowing the ‘self’ that is both the actor and the observer is the essence of true yoga and meditation.
