When self-criticism seems to be wearing you down, taking a step back and bringing mindful awareness to your breath and body can offer your heart a much-needed break. When all seems to be going in vain, allow yoga to find your lost path. 

“Yoga does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees.” ― B.K.S Iyengar.

Yoga’s combination of physical activity, meditation, and controlled breathing helps you lower your heart rate and blood pressure, increasing your sense of well-being and lowering your stress and anxiety levels.

Yoga can help you develop mental toughness by assisting you in becoming more contemplative and peaceful, managing stress and boosting your self-esteem and confidence.

Although self-care and emotional healing aren’t the primary goals of yoga, they are beneficial side effects when you’re feeling depressed. If you have the habit of running away from painful emotions, yoga can help you feel safe enough to confront them.

Ultimately, yoga allows you to sink into the deeper world of our hearts, where you can catch glimpses of connection to the rest of the universe, allowing loneliness and rumination to wither away.

Reimagine Life With Yoga

It’s a common misconception that yoga transforms you into a better version of yourself than before. It’s more accurate to state that yoga aids in the removal of obstructions that hide who you truly are and that it aids in the full expression of your true personality. 

One method that fosters transformation is by assisting you in shifting unhealthy patterns you’ve acquired over time. When you place your body into an unfamiliar pose and stick with it, you learn how to take on a new shape. Taking this new shape with your body can teach you how to take a new shape with your mind. 

Yoga can also help you make better judgments. Everything in yoga is done with a purpose: you set aside time in your day to practice it, you move in a precise way, and you breathe in a specific way. And by being focused and purposeful in your yoga practice, you open the door to being more mindful and deliberate in your daily life.

In this manner, we can say that yoga is a transformative practise that can change your life. You can transform the human body, mind, and spirit by practising yoga. Just like how a plant requires sunlight, healthy soil and water to thrive, humans need yoga.
