Yoga is not acrobatics, not magic, not torture, not weird rites not occultism or mystery mongering, not auto-hypnosis. Through Yoga you learn to deeply relax by letting go of hectic everyday life, which then releases new energy and helps you to cope better with the stresses and strains of a hectic life. Yoga is about discovering your strengths, even your limitations and going beyond them, leaving you to feel comfortable with whom you are; thus balancing the body and mind. Meditation can helps us to understand our own mind. We can learn how to transform our mind from negative to positive, from disturbed to peaceful, from unhappy to happy. Overcoming negative minds and cultivating constructive thoughts is the purpose. This is a profound spiritual practice you can enjoy throughout the day, not just while seated in meditation. There is no restriction of age and sex for Yogasana aspirants and I am loving it..........
