Room to connect, to breath away everyday stresses and calm the mind,
room to grow stronger and more flexible as a person...
Yoga, with its origins in Veda, the oldest record of Indian culture, can mean many things to many people. In essence it is a system that brings unity, a joining together that brings greater freedom. In the words of Jon Kabat-Zinn " yoga is one of the greatest gifts on the planet." In my words yoga is not a bendy competition, but has the capacity to bring flexibility of body and mind.
Mindfulness is as Analayo puts it "is bringing to mind what is otherwise too easily forgotten: the present moment." To me this means that when our thoughts, words and actions are set out in the present moment our behaviour can be guided more compassionately. The present moment has a still quality about it and stillness provides better vision.
The practices of yoga and mindfulness both offer the individual the opportunity to become more familiar with themselves and better connected. With this connection comes a greater understanding of who we truly are, and from this how we can choose to make decisions that are beneficial towards our health and well being.
