Learn How To Infuse Yoga into Your Lifestyle
Starting to understand yoga philosophy can feel like diving into a deep sea of unfamiliar words and complex ideas. Even just pronouncing Sanskrit words might seem tricky. While the yoga mat is a comfy place, there's more to yoga than just the physical exercises (asanas). Did you know there are eight parts to yoga?
You might be thinking, "Hold on, what are these eight parts, and why do they sound so confusing?" I get it – yoga philosophy can feel overwhelming. I've been there, sticking to yoga poses because it seemed simpler.
But, here's the thing: I faced my fears and decided to learn about yoga beyond the mat. And you know what? Those fancy words weren't so scary when I learned them the right way. Plus, weaving yoga philosophy into everyday life is a game-changer. There are lots of simple practices that bring calm and harmony into your daily routine.
In this blog, I'm sharing how learning about yoga philosophy opened up a whole new world for me, transforming how I see life. Let's cover:
1. How I started my journey into yoga philosophy.
2. The ways yoga philosophy changed my life.
3. Why it's important to know the philosophy side of yoga.
4. Tips on overcoming the fear of learning these "foreign" yoga terms.
5. Easy ways to bring yoga philosophy into your daily life.
How My Yoga Philosophy Journey Began
I began practicing yoga in 2019 after finishing college. Tired from all the partying, I wanted more mindfulness in my life. I fell in love with yoga classes, going 5-6 times a week. But, I felt like something was missing. During classes, my teachers tossed around these philosophy words, and I felt lost. So, I decided to dig into yoga philosophy on my own.
The Transformative Power of Yoga Philosophy
As I explored, I learned about the 8 Limbs of Yoga, Chakras, and Meditation Practices. Implementing these into my daily life brought big changes – my mindset shifted, and life felt more peaceful. And the cool thing? Not all of these practices take tons of effort. For example, before eating, I take a moment to be thankful for my meal. It makes me more aware of what I eat and helped me make healthier choices.
Why You Should Learn Yoga Philosophy
Yoga isn't just about poses. There are cool things like Virtues and Ethics (basically, how to live a good life), Breath Control, Meditation, and more. It's not a set of strict rules – you choose what fits your life.
