本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Just to acknowledge my efforts and to share my thoughts. The changes and the benefits Yoga has brought to me are beyond my expectation.
Last August I was feeling really down in my life. I was in search of something to occupy my mind so it doesn’t linger over unsolved problems and painful memories. I signed up for an unlimited Yoga membership and have been carried on for one year now!! I practice on an average of 15 times a month.
The physical benefits are easy to see after several months of practice. Joint pain and inflammations are gone; neck, spine and shoulders are relaxed and muscles are toned. Didn't lose much weight though.
As yoga guru B.K.S. Iyengar said 'Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggle of life.' Practicing yoga enables you to achieve this by constantly exercising your mind. When you lie down in stillness, you empty your mind; when you inhale and exhale, you focus on present; when you move with grace, you raise awareness of your body; when you are in balance pose, you take your mind away from your body; when you bow, it makes you humble; when you meditate, your anxiety and worries diminish; at the end of each class, you feel grateful for what you’ve done, for what you have, for the energy and support you received from other yogis, and for life in general.
This is my favorite quote from B.K.S. Iyengar : 'Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.' 瑜伽教会了我去忍受生命中那些永远无法治愈的伤痛。更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
