Yoga
Often I like to read
about other people's ways of approaching health and fitness. What they
are doing properly, what they recommend and any mistakes that they have
made along the way. There are many ways to achieve and maintain a healthy
body, mind and spirit. Yoga is only one of them.
Today, I'd like to share
with you an article written by a novelist, Amy Hassinger. The mistakes
she made along the way and how she finally realized them. She discusses
her initial approach to Yoga as being that of an athletic discipline or
sport to achieve that perfect body. She goes into detail in discussing
the mistakes she made because she approached Yoga as a sport and a means
to physical perfection. She discusses how with help and the advice of her
Yoga teacher, she overcame her stubbornness in overcoming her mistakes
and how she is able to see Yoga in a different manner, way. Yoga for her
is now about total health - comprising not just her physical well-being
but also it includes her mental and spiritual well-being as well. Yoga
is a source of healing for her, rather than just a means toward achieving
strength, flexibility and a flat stomach or good-looking body.
You can read the entire
article here. I think you will find it interesting.
