Yoga is not just physical activity to increase flexibility and strength. In fact, what we generally practice in gyms and studios is Hatha Yoga (translated as “physical postures”), one of eight branches of the spiritual path of yoga. It is the first branch of yoga, practiced in order to increase physical comfort and ability to sit for meditation. Who has time for that?
Mindfulness is like meditation applied to daily activities. It is a useful practice that can be incorporated directly into everyday life to improve brain function, relax and tone the nervous system, and increase focus and productivity.
As a trained yoga and meditation instructor for the past 15 years, I assist interested clients in incorporating these practices into their lives.
