- Yoga is a seemingly simple and transformative art. At least, although advanced yoga poses are really difficult for non-practitioners, remember that the changes brought by yoga obscure the obvious simplicity of stretching muscles. After all, we will build muscles in the gym during the warm-up period. So what is the basic difference between yoga and regular exercise (including Pilates)? After all, part of Pilates's inspiration comes from yoga, or yoga, which includes physical exercises and asanas. Yoga combines breathing and consciousness with body stretching. I don't even have this feeling in Pilates, although Pilates can also strengthen the internal muscles of the body, especially the pelvic floor muscles. But in yoga, breathing and focusing on our body's breathing can better understand our body and ourselves.
- At that moment, we found our own unique way of physical expression. We can start a process that changes the flow of our life energy, so when we start practicing yoga postures, it doesn't matter what state we are in. We may be more or less stiff, painful or upset than usual. We begin to build a more conscious relationship with our personality. This is a journey of discovery, not an attempt to adapt to external thoughts, even if that thought is represented by the yoga poses we were trying to do at the time. Desikachar writes that the body “can only gradually accept asanas.” If we cannot adapt to that position, we should not be nervous or judge ourselves. Yes, this pose is a possible result, but what we do in yoga practice is to travel. Desikachar puts forward another important point: "We must be flexible in responding to changes in expectations and old ideas. The farther we are from the fruits of our labor, the more we can do this... Pay more attention to the spirit of our actions and less observe us. The results of the actions of the syllabus can bring us this is the meaning of isvarapranidhana in Kriya Yoga. "Asanas are a way to prepare yourself more fully for the challenges of life.
- This method will not make us lose our balance, and it will improve our ability to adapt to the inherent changes in life. They make us more sensitive and aware of what is really happening in our hearts and lives. This growing self-awareness provides us with a complete picture, and our response to any situation we face more accurately reflects the real situation. There is a deeper level of commitment that goes beyond wandering thoughts, self-doubt, mastery of our preconceptions and expectations, or our need for something. When we are distracted or engrossed in doubts, worries, and fears, even if hope is combined with results (needs), the life energy of our entire being will be filtered and diffused. Through the practice of yoga, we can remove the fragments and redirect our diffuse energy inward, back to the inside of the body, our existence. This is the dynamic aspect of self-control. Related to this is the knowledge of oneself as a whole, and it is also a part of the whole of everything. References: Desikachar, Heart If Yoga
