Yoga simply means union. We very often
go through life forgetting the very thing that
carries us through our life, 'the body'.
We can frequently get caught up with
thoughts
of the past or become anxious about the future; yoga
helps bring focus to the present moment.
It's a time to spend on focusing on the breath
and body.
In my experience, and based on the teachings
of many, placing your awareness on 'the now'
and relaxing the body and mind through a practice such
as yoga, the future will take care of itself.
Yoga has the power to transform and whatever
reason starts you out on the path whether it's
to kick start a health regime, to lose weight or relieve
stress before you know it you will be on
a path to discovery that can lead to a sense of inner
freedom that keeps on expanding as your practice grows.
