But why do
they all do it?
Why?
Yes, it's going to make you sweat and
stretch muscles you didn't even know you
had. You will get strong. You will get
fit. You will get an amazing work out.
You will sleep better than you ever
have. But that's the short list of what
good it does.
Did you know yoga can combat stress?
Fatigue? Depression? Osteoporosis?
Obesity? Joint aliments? Allergies?
Digestive disorders? Mental disorders?
Learning disabilities? Respiratory
challenges? A broken heart?
I could go on forever.
Yoga was designed over 5000 years ago to
heal. Body, mind and spirit. Yes it's
great for the physical self...we get
flexible and strong, but it's what goes
on under the skin where yoga's true
talents are hidden. It rebuilds you from
the inside out. Cell by cell. And it
does it on all body shapes; thin and
stiff, stout and flexible, muscular and
athletic, old and young, strong and
weak. We will all derive the same
benefits from the practice. It will
improve and fine tune you and what ails
you.
Just like bringing your car to the
mechanic for a tune up, we bring our
bodies to yoga for the very same
purpose. We tune up our human machine.
Bending and flexing is like adding a
quart of oil to our joints...no rusting
and no squeaks! We adjust our timing
belt, or our breathing...long and strong
breaths to slow down the heart and
increase circulation. We stand on our
heads to get a look under the
carriage...fills us with clarity and
focus. We do postures that massage our
thyroid...it's like getting 5 more miles
per gallon of gas! A great sense of calm
comes over you after your first
class...an instant form of
gratification. You feel
good...no...GREAT! And that just after
one class.
When yoga becomes a practice that you do
with regularity, the benefits increase,
the feeling of well being increases, and
the effects last longer and longer. Yoga
is a strong medicine. But yoga isn't
something that can be done by reading
about it in a book. Oh, I guess you
could, but it's all going to happen for
you on the mat. You must show up, learn
it, do it, and let it take over...let
the benefits come to you. First just a
few at a time...sore muscles that make
you feel alive, a great nights sleep, a
happy disposition for a day or two. But
is when you come once a week or more
that you will notice changes in places
you would never have thought to look.
Your depression is gone..and you don't
know why. You are less tired, focus more
and get things done so you have time for
yourself and your family. You stop
coughing or sneezing. You feel good
about you. People ask if you changed
your hair or just cam e back from
vacation. They will see the
difference...,you will feel it.
The more you do it the more you will
realize the benefits.
So that's why yoga, but why now?
Why not now??? Do it for yourself, and
do it for the ones that you love. Don't
let the pressures and stresses of every
day life drain you bone dry. Hydrate
your soul and spirit with yoga now. We
live but once in this moment never to
past through it again. Why waste this
precious time feeling less than
wonderful? Why take a drug to cheer you
up, or a drink to calm you down? Take to
the mat and work it all out forever. Let
yoga be your Prozac, let yoga be your
shrink, let yoga be your medicine, let
yoga be your teacher, let yoga change
your breath, let yoga be your peace of
mind.
That's why yoga now. Find a class and
learn how it all happens on the mat!
