Simplicity

Yoga is simple, beautiful and difficult.

Thanks to the practice of yoga, I’ve learned a number of important lessons in simplicity during the past few weeks…

1. Slowing down is okay.

2. Falling down is not a bad thing.

3. Meditation and simplicity go hand in hand.

4. Yoga is a fantastic workout and a great substitute for running.

I’m so grateful that my friend introduced me to yoga and that I actually took the plunge and tried it out. I’ve done yoga at home before and taken a few classes, but nothing that I’ve experienced compares to Zuda. Being guided through practice by a teacher and being surrounded by so many awesome people is an amazing experience.

My birthday present this year is a monthly membership to Zuda! Yay fun! :)

Here’s to another year full of health and happiness.

That is an awesome birthday present that guarantees MORE birthdays! What a wonderful gift.

You inspired me to go to a yoga class at my gym (had done yoga before in a packed gym in a former life nad wasn’t thrilled about it). This was wonderful! Mellow, relaxing, HARDER than I expected, and everyone was so welcoming. Thanks for the tip. :D

Hi,

Yoga is beneficial for the health in ways that modern science is just beginning to understand. Even though it has been applied with therapeutic intention for thousand of years, Yoga Therapy is only just now emerging as a discipline.

More health care practitioners are starting to include yogic techniques in their approach to healing — and more yoga teachers give a therapeutic intention to their teaching. People who have never tried yoga before are starting to consider including Yoga in their treatment plan.

As science begins to document the importance of understanding the interrelation of all existing things, it looks to Yoga with an intrigued eye, for Yoga speaks Unity in every word. As yoga techniques are researched and new data is gathered,it becomes easier for science and the medical establishment to understand and accept the benefits of Yoga Therapy. Yet there is still not one consensual definition of the discipline.

In order to arrive to an adequate definition and to come up with proper standards for Yoga Therapy, it is crucial at this early stage to properly address some delicate professional and ethical issues. At the same time it is important to educate the general public about Yoga Therapy’s benefits and careful use.

so this article will really helpful to me..
