I have to thank my yoga instructor Taniya for taking me along on the beautiful journey called yoga. 7 months back I used to think that yoga only meant a bunch of stretches but oh boi! I was so wrong.
never been so happy about being wrong!
in these past 7 months, I have never regretted even one day of my yoga session. the session always starts with a bunch of stretches and warm-up, followed up by asanas which can be balancing, strengthening or flexibility asanas, in the end, the session always finishes up with pranayam and meditation for 5 minutes and on Friday especially we have 35-40 mins of meditation of different type.
now when I look back I don't know how I never realised that just being consistent with 50 minute routine for a long period can transform us inside out.
Yoga has so far taught me to find balance in the simplest thing which is our breathe. it has shown me the power of consistency and just showing up every day has improved my strength and flexibility. it has forced fed me to learn about being truly conscious of my emotions, thoughts, and feelings and then letting them go.
I have been an emotional person who gets attached in less time, so naturally, many a time my mind feels like a mess. Be It uncertainty of the future, broken friendships or feeling like no one understands you. yoga has truly helped me to consciously observe these thoughts and deal with them more maturely and ultimately use the art of letting go. it surprises me how I have been able to selectively think of the situational aspect and consciously decide if it is worth my time and energy and if the answer is 'no' I simply accept it. hence, I automatically and patiently let that situation or person go.
I'm extremely proud of myself for choosing better. I know I'm just a novice in the journey where some people have decided to invest their whole life but I'm taking that first step and I encourage you to take that first step too and start with just 10 minutes of pranayam or meditation because yoga ultimately gives you a choice. choice of choosing better for yourself.
I strongly believe that the whole universe that we seek outside is evolving inside of us. just take the first step and experience the ultimate truth which cannot be described but just experienced.
seek inside your mind.
Great transformation
