Our practice can be the most essential part of our day.
When we start by checking in with ourselves we can identify the current realities of our physical bodies and address what is needed. Alongside maintaining our physical health, we are able to check in with the subtle body – our thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
Each day we come to our mats to practice, and day by day, we add another layer of sensitivity and awareness to understand ourselves at a deeper level. While the origins of discomfort may begin as physical, we learn to control our mental response to it.
Being an attentive observer of our bodies & minds will help us embrace each day with more clarity & peace.
“The triumvirate of the body, mind, and & breath in an asana help us to experience yoga in asana”. Understanding from Sri Prashant S Iyengar.
