The essence of my personal yoga practice is described beautifully in the following quote. I don’t do yoga to get skinny or muscular, or to be able to wrap my legs around my head. I do it because it gives me joy. It reminds me of who I am. It helps me feel gratitude for simple things, while letting go of expectations and disappointments
From Thich Nhat Hanh, author of Peace Is Every Step
While we practice conscious breathing, our thinking will slow down, and we can give ourselves a real rest. Most of the time, we think too much, and mindful breathing helps us to be calm, relaxed, and peaceful. It helps us stop thinking so much and stop being possessed by sorrows of the past and worries about the future. It enables us to be in touch with life, which is wonderful in the present moment.
