Maura has created her second yoga DVD with an array of more challenging poses, with modifications for the less agile and options to use props. Class 2 has tranquil music and is filmed in nature. It ends with meditation and peace prayer. Of course yoga makes you more flexible and increases strength......
But do you know?
With a regular practice of yoga, "transference" occurs - meaning it's not just what we do on the mat, but how we transfer our yoga asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath) into our outside world. It instills healthy channels to deal with obstacles and struggles in our lives. Yoga can improve relationships with others, keeps us focused for better brain function, and gives us a desire to eat healthy food. Yoga combined with cardio exercise can strengthen our immune system. Do you ever get the "blahs"? Yoga can give us energy and a more positive attitude. Do you ever experience anxiety? The regular practice of breath awareness and meditation can relieve stress, balance emotions and in effect, regulate blood pressure. Do you have faith? Prayers in meditation can deepen your spirituality.
