There is value in the #practice of #yoga itself for many reasons. Practicing yoga helps to understand and gain insight. It takes a lot of practice to make a change. The practice of yoga can help you process your day so you can let go of it and feel grounded and #balanced
#why #practice #yoga
The word practice has several meanings that are important for yoga. Practice is a synonym for #training as in #skilldevelopment and building. It’s repeating actions, with the #goal of improving. When we practice #downwardfacingdog or #sunsalutations its the first step to improving #pose There is so much more to yoga than #asana #knowledge or #wisdom is known as #jnanagamyapravachana in #sanskrit the language of yoga. #vijnana is the application of that knowledge. The “vi” you see there is the same as in #vinyasa the most popular form of yoga. Vi means to individuate and unique. Learning by doing and consistent #repetitive action.
Repeated Actions
#abhyasa from #sanskrit means repeated practice and consistency.
Yoga means to engage, participate, and to #care It’s not a one-and-done deal, rather an ongoing commitment. This pertains to yoga and #life in general.
Yoga As A Process
This next point can be difficult to get your head around but is potentially life-changing. It’s challenging to understand if you come from a Western country’s vantage point like the United States. #america is heavily focused on productivity and accomplishing things. This is the home of the planner, reminder, and to-do list. Yoga is the #journey
Yoga Is a Practice
Yoga is a practice. When we treat it as such, we are practicing yoga for the #experience of yoga. This is why understanding the meaning of yoga makes a difference. If yoga means to #engage #connect and relate, then yoga as a practice is how you experience those things.
Think about the concept of life:
Engaging with Your Life is a Practice
Connecting with Your #thoughts and #feelings is a Practice
Relating to Yourself and Others is a Practice
All of those ideas are enveloped into the concept of the practice of yoga.
Practice means to bring your attention and presence to what you are doing and how you are doing it. We can call this concept #mindfulness or #consciousness but it’s being aware of what’s going on in the moment.
Yoga is often referred to as “entering the conversation” that allows you to #tune into your #body
Benefits of a Practice
The #benefits of repeated practice are it builds #resilience #tenacity and stick-to-it-ness. You become #powerful and daily life will flow naturally without stress. Build heat #tapas This repetition of action is a skill you can develop and use. Behind all of these successes is effort and doing the work.
Do the Work
When we use the phrase #dothework in yoga, we mean to pay attention to what is going on inside of you and #face it. Do the work of #feeling and #healing so that you can move on.
Doing the work takes the same amount of time and care you give to your outward accomplishments.
Here are the 3 benefits of #practicing yoga, both as an act of #repetition and putting theory into practice.
Practice Yoga to Understand
Yoga begins with curiosity because that is an entry point for us to pay attention. Attune to your #body #signals and it will reveal how rested, #anxious or #content you are. It will tell you it needs food #touch or #solitude It will share how your grief has passed or that you are in #love Pausing to feel will give you a certain amount of understanding, as will taking regular respites for #reflection #introspection and #contemplation Yoga is the way that we change things and hold things together over time. This is why many diets fail because we focus only on immediate results. Practice little-by-little, again and again, include yoga in your #body #mind #spirit #fitnesslifestyle #workout and #lifestyle and stay in the moment.
