Yoga
The word ‘yoga’ means union or more accurately, intimacy. As we lean into our breath, we notice how the inhale and exhale are part of a whole, not two disparate events.
We move through the physical shapes of yoga postures, informed by the breath, and even notice how the quality of our breath makes us feel. Anchoring attention intimately to breath leads us out of the thinking mind for a spell and into sensory perception in the body. If you do this consistently for sustained periods of time, you feel happier, less burdened psychologically, more relaxed and aware in mind and body, and up your chances of improved health and life decisions.
It is common knowledge that a mindfulness practice is effective therapy for stress related conditions including tension headaches, heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, and so on. The practice of yoga poses is mindfulness in motion, intimacy with your authentic self.
