As the popularity of yoga continues to increase, finding one's way through the miles of yoga information can be confusing. Is Yoga about fitness? Performing challenging yoga poses? Following the teachings of a particular "style"? Is it relaxation and stretching?Is yoga the development of the body through regular physical practie, or is it about self-awareness, meditaion,philosphy or a lifestyle?
The answer to all the above is simple. YES. The key is finding your own yoga.
Different people may be drawnj to different aspects of yoga,such as physical fitness,fun,increasing performance,mental focus in sport, recovery from illness or injury,relief from physical or emotional pain or stress,philosophy,meditation or as part of an ethical approach to living a peaceful, balanced life.
Yoga has many benefits. We each get to decide what aspect of yoga we feel will be beneficial for us to focus on,and we can move on to another aspect if and when we are ready. Our yoga practice can begin simply with a sincere willingness to learn.
Namaste,
