A Few Words about YOGA...
Yoga practices gives us things to do that bring our attention into the present moment through focusing on our breath, on our yoga posture, on a gazing point, or through the use of a variety of other yoga tools.
In addition to the many physical benefits of a yoga practice that you might already be aware of, such as building strength, flexibility, balance and agility, the corresponding mental effort to bring mindful attention to the present moment unites the body and the mind.
The effort to focus on the present moment steadies the mind, pulls it back into the body, and can create a calming and balancing response.
This brings about many other physical and emotional benefits such as lower blood pressure, slower respiration and heart rate, and calmer and quieter mental activity that can directly contribute over time, to improvement in overall quality of life, mental, emotional and physical.
A regular yoga practice, whether meditation, breath work or moving through postures can help anyone deal with stress and find Joy in living.
