What is Yoga?
Yoga has been around for thousands of years. The main intention of yoga is to create a balance of mind, body and spirit - 'mens sana in corpore sano'. Practicing some of the several hundred yoga 'postures'in a yoga session, combined with focusing techniques and effective breathing, enable a student of yoga to achieve tremendous ability to overcome some of the many physical, emotional and mental limitations they may have. Immediate relief is often experienced in the initial sessions, leading one to be enthusiastic to experience more.
People often find that if they practice yoga regularly, they become more energised, enthusiastic and motivated in all the areas of their lives.The benefits are very positive; physical health can improve to such a degree that some debilitating conditions disappear altogether. The calming, energising and inspiring effects of yoga can be very rewarding. Perhaps one of the greatest things about yoga is that anybody can do it at any stage of their lives and in any state of health.
Meditation
Meditation takes place many times a day only we are not often aware of it. Any moment when we find we have become absorbed in something like reading, cooking, playing tennis, watching a film, is like meditation.... We know the satisfaction we get when we are in this focused state. To increase the time of absorption can bring much more satisfaction, and to experience a very deep focus is even more beneficial for people.The possibility is there to achieve a deep level of calm and refreshment. One of the reasons there is so much restlessness in the world today is that extreme multi- tasking is taking place all around us, requiring faster and faster results.
Our lives can be lived with great effectiveness and without the detrimental effects of hectic and stressful living. We can bring more dynamism into our life through more self awareness and maximising our mental and physical energies. The deep inner awareness people experience in meditation brings about opportunities for new understanding of the 'inner person'. We spend an enormous amount of time dealing with the outside world in our lives, meditation teaches us about matters of the mind , heart and spirit as well as the physical body. This can be a transforming re - connection to our authentic self and produce a refreshing new awareness that permeates all the aspects of our lives.
