❈ yoga for lifestyle❈
Yoga
as a lifestyle means far more than performing difficult poses or
practicing breathing techniques. Rather, yoga is rich, encompassing
philosophy about all aspects of how we live life. The ancient yogis
spoke of the Eight Limbs of Yoga,
which describe eight aspects of a yoga lifestyle. These are in essence a
guide on how to achieve balance and harmony between the mind, body, and
spirit, both individually and in relationship with the world around us.
Applying yoga principles to daily life means adopting healthy practices
and attitudes, ultimately leading to enlightenment or Samadhi.
The Bhagavad Gita said: "It's not that you are just going into a corner,
sitting with the spine erect and then doing some japa or some breathing
and that is Yoga. My Yoga is everything. All that you do is Yoga. When
you start doing something, do only that - one hundred percent that.
'Yogaha karmasu kaushalam' - that means perfection in your every action
is Yoga."
