Why Yoga?


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.
