What Is Yoga?

Yoga is intended, as the Sanskrit name implies, to yoke, or bring together, merge together, your body, your mind, your spirit. It is my belief that yoga is NOT aerobics and body bruising intensity, nor a competitive sport. Yoga is not about pain, but peace, bringing all the parts together for a transcending moment or two of beauty, peacefulness, and ecstasy.

Asanas - The Body Connection

What is most commonly known about yoga is the body connection, through poses, known as asanas. Asana strengthens the body, provides flexibility and stamina for the body. Breath, used in harmony with each asana, is the vehicle used during movement into, through and out of an asana, providing the bridge, the lubricant, for the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, to "go" someplace new. The ideal is that when you use your breath as the vehicle to move the body into a pose, once you are in the pose, you will then rest, be thoughtful, connect with divinity and spirituality for a moment of peace and bliss. This is the yoking and bringing together of all the fractured parts of our world: body, mind, and spirit, into one.

Your Practice of Yoga

Over the centuries, not surprisingly, this is still referred to as Yoga Practice. It may appear intimidating to watch a class mate flow into an asana that you feel you will never attain. Be encouraged to not compare. It is their practice which you are observing. Go inward; practice YOUR yoga, seeing where YOU go today while on the mat. By staying inwardly focused, you also increase the likelihood of attaining more moments of bliss and peace, by directing your attention to YOUR practice. Ultimately, you will find an unfathomable amount of benefits to your practice of yoga: better overall health, ability to focus and stay focused, sound sleep, confidence, new mastery in relationships, and overall life management skills.
