The practice of yoga can help us to achieve many purposes. It has physical and energetic benefits, as well as mental and spiritual benefits. A yoga practice can help align the body, mind, and spirit through the use of postures, breathing exercises, and relaxation. Postures can be used to stretch, strengthen, and work on balance, as well as to create symmetry in the physical body. The benefits of yoga can surpass the physical body and be a link to help manage the other areas of the self, including the mind.
Amrit Yoga is a practice based upon Hatha Yoga (physical) postures combined with the mental practices of inward focus and meditative awareness. This style of yoga was designed to help practice meditation in motion while using the mat as a training ground for the concepts. It pairs active postures with surrender and relaxation between the postures. This teaches our body and mind the value of active work and surrender, which is very important for regulating our nervous system. We focus on using the breath and bodily sensations to train our scattered minds to concentrate. This becomes a useful tool on and off the mat. The skills you develop will serve you to become more engaged in whatever you are doing and to reduce mind chatter and distraction. While using this technique, the nervous system is trained to move between activity and relaxation, which is necessary for calming an overactive mind. Once learned, this technique can be used during your home practice and in daily life. It is a great tool for learning how to manage stress and for being fully present in your life.
