There is no point in working on the mind, as we have worked on nothing but the mind. And mind is too weak against the body.
First work on body. When body changes, then your breathing changes. As your breath changes, your thoughts can be changed. And when your thoughts change, then you can change.
Yoga Exercise to do alone: Sit in Ardhasiddhasana for 12 minutes in complete stillness, spine comfortably erect, with eyes closed. Now observe how the mind develops excuses to move when discomfort happens in the body. Just watch the thoughts, do not think about them.

There are many forms of fitness to choose from: pilates, zumba, boxing, strength-training, running, aerobics, etc.

What is it about Hatha Yoga that stands out from the rest?

Firstly, Yoga is not just about fitness. Fitness will definitely happen, but it has more to do with strengthening the mind. Yoga has a very holistic approach: it deals with the body, mind, emotions and consciousness, it is a complete approach.

Yoga is also for all ages - from birth to old age, yoga is appropriate. And fitness is required for the whole life, not just during youth.

Finally, it is very simple, it can be done anywhere, no equipment is needed, just spread a mat and do some asanas.

So Yoga is a much superior form of fitness, as it deals with all aspects of who you are. No other form of exercise is a requirement when yoga is taught to you accurately.

Throughout our whole life we need to manage our body, mind and emotions and only yoga can achieve this. I hope that every human learns some form of yoga and experiences a balanced and happy mind. 🙏

Watch the waves in the ocean. The higher the wave goes, the deeper is the wake that follows it. One moment you are the wave, another moment you are the hollow wake that follows. Enjoy both--dont get addicted to one. Don't say: "I would always like to be on the peak". It is not possible. Simply see the fact: it is not possible. It has never happened and it will never happen. It is simply impossible--not in the nature of things. Then what to do? Enjoy the peak while it lasts and then enjoy the valley when it comes. What is wrong with the valley? What is wrong with being low? It is a relaxation. A peak is an excitement, and nobody can exist continuously in an excitement.

Yoga is a method to create a distance between self and mind - to lose your false identification with the mind.

When this happens, you drop all ideologies, beliefs, prejudices and discriminations and become one with life. That is why the term "yoga" means to yoke or join (with the process of life).

What is needed for a Yoga class -
Come as you are
Use what you have
Do what you can 🙏
