Ayurveda is a sister philosophy to yoga. It is the science of life or longevity and it teaches about the power and the cycles of nature, as well as the elements.
Any spirituality can be enhanced with the practice or study of yoga.
Yoga is so universal in its principles and so holistically beneficial, it is possible for any person, young or old, religious or agnostic, to embrace and enjoy a practice.
Yoga gave me the ability to calm down.
Love is connection with others. Union with another human being or living thing. That's also Yoga.
Yoga is an integral part of my daily routine. That definitely helps me approach all aspects of my life from a place of mindfulness and clarity, through the meditation that usually accompanies this practice.
I don't really have an anti-aging strategy. I accept it. It is what it is. I think about how I feel. So to me, yoga and running and doing work that is meaningful to me is the best way to look and feel good. I think happiness and living a life that you feel good in and you don't feel compromised - that all makes a big difference to the way that you look. I don't give a lot of thought to aging.
I really wanted to share with people the day-to-day joys that yoga can bring into one's life-not just the physical aspects.
A lot of people have questioned how yoga and their own spiritual beliefs can come together. Yoga actually pre-dates religion.
Yoga is about compassion and generosity towards others. It means being mindful of the world around us.
Yoga has reinforced and grounded my own spiritual beliefs.
Yoga has brought me closer to myself. It's helped me realize the interconnectedness of the mind, body and spirit, in the Buddhist sense of the word.
Yoga has brought me to the part of religion I really like - the positive sides of religion, the parts we all share, rather than the things that create separation.
Yoga is not a religion to me.
I started practicing Yoga at about 18. I had a friend who was doing it and was incredibly disciplined and meditated all the time.
