I Did Yoga Every Day for 1 Month and This Is What Happened
Less than a year ago, I assumed yoga was not a sport. Just plain stretching. Which would have been good for me, since I am as flexible as a hundred-year-old tree trunk. But I didn’t see the point.

8 Lessons Yoga Taught Me
Yoga was one of those things that I knew could benefit me, but it took me a long time to actually consider it. I was very skeptical of the so-called benefits. For me, it wasn’t a sport, and I’m not flexible anyway. I guess some things need time to mature.

What's It Mean to "Carve Out Time" for Yoga?
I move a lot. Subsequently, even though I’ve been at some wonderful yoga studios that I hated to leave, I’ve taken yoga classes at six different studios since I started practicing in 2018. Every studio I've been to had a distinct style and personality; some even taught completley unique yoga styles.

Irrevocably Me
They say when someone dies you are irrevocably changed - that a part of you dies as well. That may be true, but for me, it’s also the day that a part of me came to life.

Why I Started Yoga
What is Yoga?’ This is a question I had for years. Yoga, for me, was initially an activity that was always happening in the background of fitness and bodybuilding. It seemed frightening to me at first and I concluded it was an activity that I definitely didn’t need in my life.

OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE
My birthday is in two days. I'll be 51 and I still can't believe it. I'm also 30 pounds overweight and I CAN believe that because I spent most of the pandemic watching Netflix and eating Haagen-Dazs strawberry ice-cream on the couch. I couldn't go to the gym so I begged my husband to buy me an exercise bike. He didn't want to because he said I wouldn't use it, but I've proved him wrong. I've used it 3 times -- in 6 months. I need a change. And I think I found it! Yoga! A new yoga place in my city is offering 3 free classes! I immediately signed up for the next beginner's class which starts tomorrow. Can't wait!

Can Yoga Improve Your Running?
I have always loved to run. It’s the only type of exercise I look forward to doing. My runs keep me sane and I miss them when life gets in the way.

Benefits of yoga
In fact, a review of 49 studies with more than 4,500 participants found that physical activity such as meditation and yoga can help with awareness and other sleep disorders. In addition, there is growing evidence of the benefits of yoga for people with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For example, a study published in the International Journal of Preventative Medicine in 2018 found that 12 weeks of Hatha Yoga reduced stress, anxiety, and depression in 52% of women who participated in the study.

Importance of yoga and mind healing
Scientific evidence from the National Institutes of Health shows that yoga promotes stress management, mental health, mindfulness, healthy eating, weight loss, and sleep quality according to the National Institutes of Health. Based on these findings, Yoga is an effective way to increase strength and endurance when used in conjunction with a common type of exercise. After eight weeks of yoga at least once a week for 180 minutes, participants have greater muscle strength, endurance, flexibility, and stamina.

Healing Energy & Breathing
The Healing Energy of Life This information I have learned and experienced as a Metaphysician, Holistic Psychic, and Yogi. The information is beyond our complete understanding and logic, amazingly “universal”, with many terms and content. Imagine; God is our one source, in all religions and spiritual practice. When we speak of the “Divine Being within”, that also means “God within.” This Divine Being is your Lamp, energy, and guiding light to shine for you and all to see. It is amazing, many individuals in New Age, Wicca, Metaphysics, and Yoga, will tell you the same comments, we all are connected and beliefs are similar. Once you explore another religions or Yoga paths, you will begin to see the signs and connecting pieces.
