I don’t know what age it is when you figure it out - I suppose with some people it must be later than sooner - but I had come to realize that whether I was happy or not had just about nothing to do with the place I was (staying) in

How Yoga Works

[yoganikks]

Do you practise pranyama as part of your yoga practise? Did you know that many traditional practises do not believe that practitioners should be learning specific breathing exercises unless or until they have mastered physical postures? It makes sense; we need to know and understand how our body works and reacts, so from the outside in with observation seems intelligent. What do you think? Check my little bloggy thing on my website or Facey page and tell me what you think x #pranyama #yogabreath #yogatherapy #howyogaworks (at Yogasphere: Integrated Health & Movement-Based Solutions) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4MbhlPA0WX/?igshid=1358gbpfpe0j2

‘Know this: Enlightenment and freedom Are not arbitrarily handed down. They are the result of intentional effort.’ - Lao Tzu . After reading How Yoga Works by Geshe Michael Roach this quote spoke to me. I always thought that looking inward and doing yoga for myself was the answer but I recently realized that it takes a teacher and others that need your help in order to find what you’re looking for within yourself. You will not find the answers easily. It takes time and effort. Effort working on yourself, effort helping other people by taking what they no longer serves them and giving them what they need to improve on their own. Effort to learn something from anyone, or from everything. . . We all set intentions but keeping those intentions is the hard part. Have you stuck with yours? Have you made new ones over the ones you could not complete? What does effort look like to you? To me it is just recognizing that I am doing something every day to help myself, to help those around me, to learn and to improve how I view the world. . . . #howyogaworks #geshemichaelroach #laotzu #quotes #yoga #halffrogpose #ardhabhekasana #yogawithpets #doingthings #outdoorvoices #homepractice #yogacommunity #whiskersandyoga #effort (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvO8ILslub_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z1rocvfu01g1
