YOGA, MORE THAN ON THE MAT

More than on the Mat

For me, yoga is much more than the time spent on the mat. Twenty years ago when I came to know yoga, I went to a weekly Wednesday morning class. I quickly began to notice that Wednesdays were a good day for me.

A master of yoga, B.K.S. Iyengar, says that “the light that yoga sheds on life is something special. It is transformative. It does not change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees. It brings knowledge and elevates it to wisdom.”

Yoga helps to peel away the layers and you realize- this practice can be done everyday, anywhere. Whether it is a physical practice on the mat, a mind-full walk in the park, or carving out 10 minutes for meditation. The union of your body and mind throughout the day, is living “yoga”. And this practice has the power to turn a bad day into a really, really good day.
