When I started this life, I actually stumbled upon the fact that my body needs something more than eating, sleeping and dancing. What was that something? It came to me at the age of 22, via a dear friend. He said do you do Yoga? I actually would have wanted to look at Google if it was that popular then, and I had a smart phone! ;-)
Then Yoga meant certain postures in which one can feel the stretch, or pain if I may say so!! Unless you feel the "I can't do it" moment, you are actually doing it wrong! And a myth broke!! What I got enlighten into is something very relaxing, little stretch for long term pleasure and utmost to be at peace as Yoga! ***It's actually a Union of Body-Mind-Soul*** :-) and what an only experience driven reality it is!! And Yoga combined with Breathing exercises and Praanayama is a truly lethal combination!!
Yoga makes the body light and mind calm, most of the time both are busy being lethargic and grumbling respectively. A great idea is to start light and move step by step to advance level of Yoga postures. It is ALSO very important to couple the culmination of your yoga session with Meditation, why I say so, you can understand only through experience. I can speak volumes about it, but it's not of much use, if you are not going to do it! Meditation is a deeper than deepest rest your body-mind-soul complex can have. It can't be compared, as their actually is nothing that can come close let alone being equal...!! .. !
So let's BEGIN! Start with base of simple and light stretches. The Butterfly Pose, Chair Pose, Neck Rotations, Cat Stretch, they will make the base right. "Sthiram Sukham Asanam", says my Sri Sri Yoga instructor, stillness in postures brings subtle happiness.
My MASTER (GURU) says: "Yoga takes you close to your true nature. Yoga with its techniques helps you to harmonize with nature. Peace is our very nature, and yoga leads you to inner peace".
