Yoga And Inner Change To Alter Daily Reactions
Yoga has been around for thousands of years and has made it to the west in recent years
. Many people are making trips to India to seek authentic teachers that can train them in meditation, forms of breathing and physical poses. Although most Americans enjoy the gym, many people are seeking also something that will help them to acheive balance and peacefulness amidst the daily challenges that arise.
Most yoga classes have instructions in both breathing and meditation. These are practices that one is urged to also incorporate outside of the class time in order to reap the benefits during the rest of one's week. The idea is to be able to have more stillness in one's life, be able to be less rigid in responses to tough situations and also look inside and go deeper than the ordinary satisfactions that are temporary.
We neglect our mind and spirit often and focus too much on the body. In yoga classes, the teacher will often make important points using examples of common experiences to help us bridge the gaps in our lives. By relaxing the muscles we also have the benefit of improving our health, blood pressure level and
lowering the possibilities of strains.
If you feel you are out of shape, don't let that be an excuse to not try a class. Yoga is wonderful for senior citizens and people who do very little daily exercising as well. The beauty of it is that whatever level you are at is where you can start. In fact, many athletes do very little stretching so they may be at a beginner level in flexibility. In addition, for those struggling with depression or changes of life, the classes can put things in perspective.
In elementary school and high school we take physical education courses, but there often is no instruction in ways to use the mind and breath to help with tense daily situations. Try a yoga class to learn these new skills and find new ways to change a negative state of mind into a positive one.
