Hello fellow Kamazooie members!
I have been practicing yoga for several years; I find it to be very rewarding physically but at the studio I attend, they don’t focus on the more spiritual or metaphysical aspects so I decided to do some research and use the topic for this week’s community post.
Firstly, I found that Yoga is a Sanskrit or Hindu word for union which implies that yoga is an exercise to unite our body, soul and mind into one “centre” which can also be thought of as the universal centre, or ultimately to unite with God. I also found out that what we commonly call yoga is more technically Hatha Yoga which focuses on the physical aspects as opposed to the more spiritual aspects taught in Raja Yoga that has more to do with the study of the philosophy of Hinduism.
Still, if we stick with our modern western concept of yoga, it is definitely promoted as an exercise for the mind, soul and body. To find out more, I did review an excellent book by yoga expert Tara Stiles*. In her book Yoga Cures, Tara outlines the many benefits of yoga which are reviewed below.
From the above, it is clear that yoga, in its most pure sense, is much more than an exercise to keep you toned or lose a few pounds. I would love to hear more from our members about their experience with yoga.
Have a great weekend and be sure to squeeze in some time to soak up the beautiful spring weather if you’re lucky enough to have it.
