Body Awareness

Some personal thoughts about Yoga

This is very closely linked to awareness and mindfulness. Yoga helps me to train those. Knowing and understanding my body, mind, emotions, breathing and getting more intimately attuned with them is allowing me to be more in tune with the moment. Being more relaxed or at ease in the moment brings me closer to my own nature, which is one of basic goodness, and trusting our nature.

These days more attention is focused on the outside then on the inside. Also in our yoga practice it is some times so easy to get carried away by difficult poses, or gaining flexibility, that we forget to focus inward during the practice and start focus on other (maybe more flexible) people, or start comparing progress with our last session. If our yoga practice is like that our practice becomes a mere physical exercise and we are losing the real sense of practice. This is not only to create a healthier body, but also a happier mind.

Most important in whatever yoga you practice is that it feels good for both body and mind, be compassionate to yourself and that you are having fun while doing it.
