Yoga is an integral discipline, it involves the whole human being and the ultimate goal of this discipline is to achieve Samadhi or spiritual awakening. Therefore, the practice of asanas or postures that is so widespread in the West, is only a fraction of yoga.

We have the idea that yoga fundamentally helps to elongate muscles and tendons. Other times we relate it as a physical discipline, with yoga class and focus on the body and health, which is very good! But remember that we are more than a physical body.

The subtle body, emotions, energies are also mobilized by yoga.

People who attend a yoga class weekly are renewed, they feel light when they leave the studio. However, within a few hours they are again seen stressed, with an overwhelmed mind . They spend the day in a hurry, impatient, intolerant of the difficulties they face. They are not living yoga.

The yogi lives yoga at all times

At the worst moment of the day: observe yourself . Feel your body, your face stressed, your shoulders, your heart beating agitatedly.

Remember the breaths you take in yoga class and use them to relax the tension. If you do not know them, simply inhale and exhale rhythmically, being aware of the air entering and leaving your body.

What else can you do to bring yoga to your life?

1. Relax the mind

The mind is like a muscle, it can be trained. The interesting thing is to train her to be calm, to quiet her continuous conversation, and to bring us peace. When you are having a time of great mental tension, at work or at home, it is very healing to observe spaces of nature . If you can, walk to a park or the beach, and just let your thoughts get lost in the observation of a tree or a plant in your window.

2. Be aware of who you are

Be aware of what you are doing in this world.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience, as dear Wayne Dyer said.

Remember it, and do not respond to people who are with you automatically, and do not face situations without becoming aware of the present moment .

Listen to others, and listen to your thoughts before speaking.

3. Choose a mantra

It is a beautiful and very comforting practice. Repeat a positive statement that makes sense with your life at this time, may be related to health, prosperity, relationships or the situation that is causing some difficulty or pain in your life. For example they can be:

I am strong and healthy, my health is perfect.

I receive the abundance of the universe in unexpected ways.

Wonderful people come to my life.

4. Be authentic

Satya's arduous yogic practice (truth) must also be part of our way of moving in the world. It is very difficult to be authentic in our thoughts, words and actions . Be consistent with what we think, what we say and then carry out with our actions.

Sometimes, the pressure from the groups we are in is stronger, and when we realize we are criticizing or speaking ill of others, muttering about other people.

Here, again, you have to become aware and stop. Say something nice about that person, don't follow the dough.

5 Non-attachment

In yoga, material detachment is also practiced, which is easy to understand, and also emotional detachment. Emotional attachment is living from the ego, again this part of our psychology that is so difficult to tame. The ego causes fear, fear of looking bad, that others think badly of you, not being good enough.

Get rid of that fear and go back inside, to your wise being.
