Why "YOGA"

-

 




It's wonderful to work out, lose weight and tone up, but yoga is so much more than a great workout. 

Yoga means union. It is a state of being in the present, focusing on the here and now. It's a path to self discovery, fine-tuned awareness, and unification of the mind, body and soul. Yes, it is a series of postures that makes you sweat and burn calories, but more than that, it is a way to escape the restrictions of the mind and the limitations we put on ourselves. 

Many people think yoga is part of a religion- particularly Hinduism. It is not a part of any religion. It is more a science through which we can restore the balance of our emotional well being and of course, our fitness. Through regular practice, you'll begin to notice subtle transformations in how you feel. 

Yoga is not competitive or goal-oriented. Even when you're in a class full of people, it remains a personal practice. It is a time for you to go inward, staying with your breath, and move through the flow of postures, going only as far as feels good for you.

Most of the time, we get busy because we don’t know how to set our limitations. You can minimize being preoccupied with knowing when to stop yourself – especially if you know that it doesn’t matter that much. For example, if you only use social media to see what’s the new gossip in town, then you can set a limit for how many times you will check it. The time you use to browse your Facebook, Instagram and Twitter feed are better spent on things meant for  self-improvement . 2) It’s not about defeating your anxieties. It’s easy to feel anxiety if you aren’t feeling inner peace. Yet trying to avoid anxiety may be preventing you from feeling at ease with yourself. 3) Try to relax “ Deep abdominal breathing encourages full oxygen exchange — that is, the beneficial trade of incoming oxygen for outgoing carbon dioxide.
