Yoga is more than just poses.
Yoga is a system. It’s a brilliantly designed pathway to achieve success in life.
Why would one even need to practice yoga and what is there to achieve, you might ask?
Well, we all came here to Planet Earth as souls. Souls who choose certain “programs” to fulfill, lessons to learn. And it’s all for our own good - for the growth of the soul and its evolution.
Life on this Planet Earth is like being in school.
And the only goal for each soul, for every human being, is to evolve.
Another purpose of each soul is to realize their own Dharma (which means a Higher Purpose in life) and to follow it.
And a much higher goal above all is to get out of this wheel of reincarnation. And it’s possible during this very lifetime.
Consistency in daily practice is the key to success in yoga, in life, and in pursuing all your dreams.
As much as we can enjoy and pursue these worldly pleasures, such as vacations, hanging out with friends, enjoy luxury things- all these are great.
But, we must not be always distracted by them while we are on a spiritual path towards our highest goal- Self Actualization.
Yoga practice first of all purifies the body and mind. And with a stable mind, calmer thoughts, and clean and radiant physical health, the practitioner of yoga is able to begin perceiving more than just this life as a human and physical realm.
Yoga practice allows one to have more discipline.
Yoga doesn’t mean all these fancy poses and breathing exercises.
However, they are a preparation for settling help the mind into silence. And from there one is able to realize what his/her purpose in life is. How he/she can serve others and how to move closer to God and the Divine by starting to look within themselves.
Yoga calms the mind.
Yoga gives a stronger and steady body.
And these two serve as a foundation for increased concentration.
An increased ability to concentrate is required to succeed in all walks of life.
