Why Practice Yoga?

Why Practice Yoga?


What types of people do yoga? What brought you to this practice? Why do you keep stepping on the mat?
All types of people do yoga – young and old, short and tall, slim and large, stiff and flexible, men and women. I started youngish (18), to help manage chronic knee pain.
We all come to yoga for different reasons.
Some people come because they are injured and can’t do their normal training (and soon discover how wonderful the practice is), many people come to ease depression and anxiety, some people come to yoga so they might build strength (that was me), of course people come to lengthen out tight and short muscles.
In short yoga appeals to:
Athletes: enhancing their performance and minimizing risk of injury.
Students: increasing focus, decreasing stress and anxiety.
Parents: Hey – kids are stressful sometimes (yes let’s admit it…. ) This practice can help parents embrace the patience & understanding needed and also connect to a sense of self – some time to spend just on them. (we do need to fill the bank – not just empty it)
Community: A sense of community or belonging is a basic need along with shelter and food.  Being a part of a regular yoga class can give us a sense of community and belonging. We share in the challenges and the joys of practice together and feel closer because of that shared experience
Sufferers:  Back pain? Trouble sleeping?  Anxiety?  Depression? Hip pain? Headaches?  Low energy? These are just some of the reasons that we find ourselves on the mat. Often people come to yoga to help fix some type of physical pain, but also energetic or mental disturbance or imbalance.
What health benefits are there for people doing yoga both in the short and long term?
Short term – even one yoga class is better than none.  We take the opportunity to actually take notice of what’s happening in our body. Maybe even learn tools to help us in daily life. To be accepting, patient, kind, to think and act without forceful action – and maybe even stretch out and build strength as well!
Long term – All that and more! Our bodies and minds become resilient – strong, flexible, aware. Our joints remain in better shape – more fluid and lubricated, our immune system is stronger, digestion is improved (dis  – ease in the digestive system can express itself as disease in the body), we sleep better – which restores all of our bodies systems.  Our brain is sharp, focused and uncluttered.

Fear of Farting & Other Obstacles to the Yogic Path

Yoga, Fears, Yoga Garage, Beginners

Is a FEAR of FARTING preventing you from trying yoga?

We can probably relate at least to the fact that one barrier or another stopped us from getting to a yoga class…..maybe you haven’t stepped on the mat yet….Let’s explore some common obstacles in our path to yoga bliss….
  • Fear of Farting: BELIEVE IT! This is a common fear – known as “F.O.F.” You know – it doesn’t really happen all that often in class, and if you happen to pop off – don’t stress about it! It’s natural, we all do it – hey, a regular yoga practice will ease any bloating and aide digestion thereby helping to alleviate excessive wind.
  • Fear of Judgement: Too skinny/large, stiff/tight, old/young. We can tend to worry about what we’re not rather than embracing who we are right now. Yoga helps us overcome our negative internal voice and accept who were are in the present moment.
  • No Time: How many times have you said ” I’d love to come to yoga, but I’m just too busy”? True, we do lead busy lives! But have you considered that taking an hour out of your day to step on the mat will help increase your focus, calm your mind, help you sleep, boost your immune system – just to name a few benifits. In fact you might even feel like you have MORE time in your day!
  • Fear of not fitting in or keeping up: Most yoga teachers are kind & understanding, encouraging their students to practice in a non forceful way. This creates an accepting and safe environment where you will be able to practice to your level – regardless of experience. Hey – we’re not synchronized swimmers! It’s OK if you go a bit slower or even a bit faster if that’s what you need to do. If you turn up to a class that has a drill sergeant style yoga teacher and it doesn’t suit you – DONT GO BACK! But don’t give up on yoga – there’s a teacher out there for everyone
  • Don’t want to get locked in: Maybe you’re concerned that you’ll have to commit to a term or annual fee? Many Yoga studios offer casual classes. Keep and eye out for free community classes too!
  • Fear of Partner Work: For the most part, yoga is an individual practice, giving us time to check in with ourselves on our own little “magic carpet”. If this is something that you just don’t want to deal with – let your teacher know from the outset – this way it gives your teacher the information she/he needs to create a comfortable and safe environment for you.

 

We may have only touched on some of the fears that prevent us from stepping on the mat. What are your fears? I’d love to hear from you. Send me a message here
