In my last two years of university I found myself stressed out
to the point of no return. The gym wasn't working and running wasn't as fun as it used to be. I felt like I needed something new and
different. I wanted something that was going to not only challenge me but help
me relax. Then I went to my first yoga class. It was phenomenal, to say the least. There were so many different components I needed to focus on simultaneously that I didn't have a chance to be
stressed. It was an hour of sheer concentration on matching my
breath with my movement, at that moment I was hooked.
There are so many
things that I love about practicing yoga but there are also obstacles. Some poses seem impossible to master even
with continuous practice and sometimes during savasana your mind can’t stop
racing for a single second. Sooner or later if you constantly make an
honest effort you’ll start seeing results.
That’s the beauty in it; you get out of yoga what you put into it and
this is why I want to blog about my practice.
Anyone can start a blog about yoga and there are hundreds of
professional blogs written and updated by yogi’s who have been practicing yoga
even before I was born but I want this blog to be relatable to every individual
whether they are a seasoned or even a not so seasoned yoga student.
I have to agree with you - yoga is completely challenging and relaxing all at once! Not only is it the ideal workout, but the most enjoyable one I've found to date.
ReplyDeleteI have found it a struggle to keep up with my yoga practice as well, A. But I have come to learnt hat it's not about the quantity of experiences you have, but the quality. Keep up the good work! Namaste!
ReplyDeleteI have been practicing yoga since I was a kid. I'm not a professional either, but it is good to share with others the benefits of this great stress-relieving tool. I'm excited to read about new poses and methods of meditation.
ReplyDeleteI like how people refer to the "practice of yoga" just hearing it makes it seem like the daily discipline is so much more likely to happen.
