Yoga The Surest Way of Complete Health
Yoga is something wonderful that you give yourself, If you ever in that your desire to have a home practice begins to weighs on you like an obligation or a habit, give yourself permission to make to it fun again. Each day, disregarded all previous notions o what you enjoy yoga, of which is your favorite posture, of which feel good and which do not, of who you are and who you are not. In the present, with an open heart, begin your asana practice. These are a few idea.
Start with Breathing : In a comfortable seated position (on the floor or in a chair), start with 5 - 10 minutes of quiet breathing. Rather than forcing your breathe in anyway, allow it to flow comfortably and naturally within you. Bring your focus to your breathe, and each time you find your mind wandering, simply allow yourself t refocus on breathe. Feel what it feels like to be in your own body and self at that moment.
Intuitive Flow : Without any internal narrative or judgment, simply follow that quit message of your body moving this way and that without concern for whether or not what you are doing is an "official asana." This probably how all the asana were created in the first place. Allow you breathe to clear the active throughout and bring your inner gaze, your awareness', to how your body feels with each movement. Be aware of when your mind wander, of when you feels like staying in a posture forever, and when you feel inclined to quickly move to something new. Music can also be wonderful addition to an intuitive flow.
Vinyasa Flow : Practicing the same sort of sun salutation and following sequences like we do is completely new experience when we practice alone. The gift of teacher guidance is wonderful and necessary tool, but the experience of finding our own inner guidance is unparallel. After each class, If there was a sequence or pose that you particularly connected with, make a note of it on a piece of paper, or in a yoga journal (stick figures are great for this). Later, you can reference these for ideas when you are practicing a home. Or simply allow yourself t be moved from posture to posture, following your intuition as you flow.
Static Asana : Sometimes, a flowing practice is too vigorous or else sometimes our bodies just crave postures for many, many minutes. Although we generally practice a following style of Yoga in class, don't feel limited in this way. If you find yourself in a pose where you are able to maintain relaxed focus and evolution, you may want to stay there until your body send you a new idea. Sometimes we may hold just 2-3 postures in a whole hour.
Always allow yourself time to finish the practice with savasana (corpse pose), and also a seated meditation - anywhere from a minute to as long as you want.
Remember also that discipline is wonderful tool that helps us stay committed to yourself and our highest aims. A daily practice could last as long as 5 minutes to all day. whenever possible , we can allow ourselves great freedom by no deciding how long we will send doing our practice. Sometime we may think we only want 10 minutes and then we will be yoging for a full hour, or else the opposite can happen. What is most important is honoring our desire for yoga, and finding it within ourselves in ways that are invigorating and centering. You will feel like a glorious blossoms when you are thorough!
Special thanks to author Amey Fearon Mathews. Amey begins studying yoga in 1994. In last few years I have been studying primarily in the lyengar tradition, though she done various forms of yoga including kundalini and vinyasa yoga. In teaching yoga, it is her goal to impart to my students a sense of enthusiasm, curiosity and acceptance towards their practice.
Amey shares element of Yoga which have most held her attention and which have helped her to feel increasingly optimistic about herself, other and the world at large each year that I practice Yoga. Her practice has evolved into completed commitment to living with the principles of Yoga, following (as best as she can) the eight fold path of Yama (ethical behavior towards other), Niyama (observances in ones relationship with self), Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathe and awareness), Pratyahara (drawing of senses inward), Dharna (concentration and focus), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (connection beyond self).
