Yoga means training our mind to be in our body. Yoga is a group of physical, mental and spiritual practices originating from ancient India to promote mental and physical well-being and to prepare body for the spiritual awakening.
Yoga has been a great enabler. There can be no bigger path to spiritually than Yoga. Most of the time, we are either occupied by the past memories or coming future. We are either sad, agitated, frustrated by past, or anxious or fearful for the future and in all this, we are neither able to live nor enjoy our present.
Yoga is one complete package- which means it provides flexibility, strength, stamina, mental concentration, bodily relation, endurance altogether. That is the reason why Yoga is considered as the best cross training for all the sports be it –Running, Swimming, Tennis, Rock Climbing etc. etc.
For those, who are or were already into yoga, take it as a perfect way to jump start your practice or reignite your attention to the inner body. Whatever be the motivation behind joining yoga class – be it weight loss, stress management, fitness, etc, three important pillars of yoga are- Faith, practice and Discipline. Because, if one goes down, others are liable to fall sooner or later. So you make sure get yourself on the mat, calming your mind and bring yourself into a deep and spiritual journey.
