“Yoga teaches us to
cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.” B.K.S.Iyengar
Hello, and welcome after a break! It’s been a while
I have been posted anything.
I decided to write a
post about Yoga and its integration into everyday life. It came into my mind
since my own experience inspired me. I have practiced Hatha Yoga pretty
vigorously in the past until some old health issues started coming up into the
surface. Since I had a strong belief that Yoga has so many benefits to our
health (and it does if it’s practiced cautiously) I did not stop and tried to
convince myself even I did not feel well anymore. Later, the life changed, and
I just had to put my practice aside. After I tried various of holistic
therapies to heal myself (some help and some did not) and eventually got
somewhat better, I wanted to get back exercising again. I do a lot of different
types of movements. However, Yoga is the one that helps me feel my wholeness
both on the spiritual and physical levels the most. So, I slowly started doing Asanas,
Pranayama, and meditation several times a week. I noticed that when I choose my
practice carefully, not only I feel better overall, but I can also heal myself!
Telling my long story
short, I wanted to write more about integration. I will keep posting the posts
and videos on health and wellness as I did before and also will be adding Yoga
practices. My vision is to bring Yoga into life and therapy, not only keep it
in the classroom or retreats. Yoga is truly for everyone – whether young or
old, healthy or ill. Most people say
they have no time or motivation to do it by themselves, but the idea is that
you can do little things every day and continue your classroom practice. Thus,
you can improve the quality of life much more!
I will post videos on the Asanas that can be modified and
adjusted to everyone needs. So, you don’t have to be an athlete or try to
“achieve” the beautiful picture of asana. The concept of Yoga - is Unity of Body
and Soul and it should come from within, feeling and sensing yourself first.
Namaste,
Brigita
