The Top 3 Reasons To Do Yoga Daily
Yoga Should Be Routine. Just like brushing your teeth or taking good care of your skin, an honest Yoga session should be routine. This is the only way that the true benefits of the practice are discovered. If even twenty minutes of Yoga are performed each day, the results are overwhelming. Yoga is one of the most powerful habits a human being can adopt, and the impacts of a dedicated routine will last a lifetime. Yoga is Union with the Divine, with our Highest-Self. It gives us back the power. It should be understood that it is a Dharmic ritual, and be respected as so. Yoga is not (only) an exercise, it is the most efficient way to align ourselves to this existence - on every level.

Yoga, lockdown, and connection
"He'll be here any moment now. Not as if it's a scheduled class", I think to myself. Sure enough, within 60 seconds of that thought, the flashing signal for a guest wanting to enter the room appears, on the lower-left area of the screen. My dear friend, Dale, is linking into the Zoom room that I set up for our impromptu yoga session. I accept the request and let him into the room. He is in his naked glory, which I appreciate, this being a clothing-optional zone and him a naturist at heart. I admire anyone who can be in the comfort of just...being, in any environment. I, myself, am clothed for the respect of the environment in which I am in, my friend and roommate in the next room, me in the living room/common area of the apartment. Nonetheless, Dale and I are both comfortable, in our respective spaces, him being in Austin, Texas and me being in Brooklyn, New York, with the time difference being only an hour.

Ahimsa
Earlier this year I found myself in a great conflict, in a type of depression that I did not think I would be able to get out of. This has been a very stressful year for so many and most of us are just trying to get by and figure out a way to make the best of it. What pulled me out of my funk and brought me back to accepting this reality and shifting the focus inward, was my studies on The Eight Limbs of Yoga. These steps can be interpreted in various ways to fit your life, to give you a goal and something to look forward to! The Eight Limbs of Yoga are essential guidelines or commandments that push us towards self enlightenment. The first limb in this path is called the Yamas; the relationship with ourselves and others and how we see or interpret them. We begin this journey with testing our boundaries and ability to shift towards a more positive and purposeful life. The Yamas are composed of five smaller limbs, the first one being Ahimsa. The act of Ahimsa is taking the path of nonviolence towards others, the self and in our daily activities!
