Experience Something New With Yoga
Written by rifqi on Wednesday, September 1st, 2010 in Yoga.
What is all the fuzz about the yoga lifestyle? Why do people attend yoga classes every week, wearing all those tight yoga pants with a scarf from India around their necks? What is “Namaste” about and what does “Om Shanti” mean? Plunging into the yogic experience means a transformation to your lifestyle. People who have tried it certainly experience something new, something different and something refreshing. It’s about time to change your old habits to a yogic lifestyle.
So, what is this lifestyle and what would I get from it? Some important things about yoga that some people do not know and I think are the basic reasons why they should do yoga aside from the many benefits they are already getting.
First, Yoga is about values. A lifestyle supporting good values will inspire people to do good things. It’s not about the yoga pants and yoga mats. It’s first and foremost regarding values. It is how you value the order of the world. Prioritizing particular aspects of life that you understand is important for your whole body and spiritual enhancement. Adapting to this kind of lifestyle would certainly give you a new perspective in life which will try to bring out the things you should value like time with family, relationships, physical wellbeing, etc.
Second, Yoga is perfection in action. “Perfection in action” is how the yoga masters from old times define yoga. This perfection means you benefit from yoga and no one is harmed with yoga. A genuine believer of non violence, this yoga lifestyle’s source of energy is the origin of deep compassion which comes within us. When you live according to this principle, you really know the meaning of yoga. Ahimsa is the Sanskrit word for it. It’s the ultimate important principle of yoga. It should be applied in everything: our words, our actions, even our thoughts.
Yoga has been around for ages because of the 2 basic principles. It is not about accessories, shirts and mats. Mahatma Gandhi lived an ultimate yoga lifestyle and did not have all these accessories but knows these two principles by heart.
