Discover How Yoga Will Help You Reach Your Goals Part 1

Saturday, 8 August 2009

Time is valuable and there are a number of successful methods for goal realization. Yoga will cross train your mind and body for maximum potential.
Imagine being able to optimize your attitude in one hour
per day
or less.
Every day
people attend Yoga classes for physical or mental health
and walk away with the tools
to be masters of their own destiny.

How is this possible? Regular attendance to Yoga classes
will result in a positive attitude adjustment for the student. Many of us walk around with a “perceived handicap.” We blame everything for our set backs and lack of opportunities. Society
your boss
and your family
are all easy targets to blame
for lack of opportunities.

It is true that age
financial status
gender
and ethnic background
are factors in success. However
these factors can all be overcome by working toward your goal on a daily basis
and taking life one-step-at- a-time.
Remember
that if you think you situation is a disability
it will be.

How can Yoga do anything for you? For one thing
you will appreciate life to it’s fullest. You will stop wasting time
by letting daily opportunities go by.
Many of us have opportunities
but we think it won’t work
we don’t have what it takes for success
or we lack the drive to carry a plan through.

Yoga and meditation teach you to supervise your mind. Your mind has been allowed to work against you. Much like a “back seat driver
” the mind is good at “second guessing
” fearing
doubting
and discouraging new ideas. The mind would prefer to stay in one place
and let the world go by. Leaving you in a deeper state of frustration
by worrying about making a mistake.

You have to cultivate a positive relationship with your mind
through practicing Yoga postures (asanas)
breathing techniques (pranayama)
and meditation. You can find all this
and much more
in your local Yoga class. All you have to do is make it a regular routine. Yoga classes are everywhere
from corporate health clubs to senior centers. Whether you practice before
or after
work is not important
and you will start to feel the mental benefits
right away.

Many Yoga students walk away from their first class feeling guilty
that it took so long to start. They anguish over the fact they procrastinated so long.
However
the important part is to start and continue your Yoga practice.
There is also a common feeling of euphoria during and after Yoga classes.
The group support
classroom atmosphere
and the endorphins
will make your day a much better one.
