I was thinking a yesterday about all the reasons I tell people they should practice yoga. After sounding repetitive and boring myself, I decided to make a list of all the benefits I've experienced through my yoga practice. Below are a few of the benefits yoga has brought into my life (in no particular order):
- Physical fitness;
- Flexibility;
- Strength;
- Awareness of my body;
- Awareness of my breath;
- Awareness of personal energy;
- Joy of discovery;
- Letting go of STRUGGLE;
- Allowing touch and acknowledging my need for it;
- Reading the body language of others;
- Working through difficult emotions;
- Taking responsibility for personal anger, fear and other destructive emotions;
- Actively working to encourage healthy emotions like joy, happiness, and wonder;
- Respecting self;
- Trusting in the Universe;
- Trusting in myself;
- Loving myself;
- Savoring each breath;
- HANDSTANDS :)
