Bringing Yoga to everyday life

“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
