Yoga for me is so much more than just a physical practice on the mat; it's how I aspire to live my life each and every day - engaging and interacting in the world around us; finding harmony, meaning and purpose in life; and discovering the inner wisdom to evoke self realization. It has been through my journey into yoga that I found a freedom I never realized I was missing, and how to cultivate peace, contentment and happiness from within.
Like many others, I was initially drawn to yoga to increase flexibility and better manage stress. Through life's ups and downs, I slowly discovered deeper and more profound benefits to my practice - physically, mentally and spiritually. Immersing myself more and more in the practice and philosophy, I found relief from the demands and stress of daily life, inner healing and acceptance, and meaning and purpose in life. Whether you choose to immerse yourself more deeply in the philosophy and spiritual aspirations of the practice or not, there is plenty of reason and research to at least engage in the physical (asana), relaxation, and meditative aspects of yoga - increased strength, flexibility and circulation; mental clarity; stress relief; improved energy and mood; and much more.
