Yoga has come to now be known in the world as a series of physical postures which help us stretch our body. In fact, in many international websites, it's listed as a sport for me. Nothing could be further from the truth. I must admit I do started yoga with the idea of physical flexibility and strength. But where it has led me over the years is to really understand it's a complete system of taking care of my body, my organs, my mind and also who I am as a person and the biggest difference for me between the the style of yoga we practice in the Krishnamacharya tradition and a lot of places in the world today is, is the use of the breath, the importance of the breath. The breath is this is one tool that we have, which we don't ever really think about because it's happening all the time. But it has a lot of power and a lot of ability for us to work with ourselves, physically and mentally, simple, simple breathing practices can really help us deal with issues of digestion, improve sleep, manage stress, anxiety, which is so rampant these days. And really feel like we have a tool that is with us that we can use at all times. In fact, today I was talking to a student who has had an accident and she was sharing how with her breathing practices, she's been able to manage her physical pain. So she's not had to use as many painkillers. These simple practices that have come down to us through ancient wisdom are really powerful because they have been tried and tested through time. Now, even the scientific world is getting on board, there are books written about breath, but honestly, the most powerful experience is to try it yourself. At In.Breath, we work a lot with the breath. We try to move away from the common definition of yoga, which is just to stretch the body. We do that also, but we really work with the breath. So we for a long time now been teaching these Pranayama and Meditation sessions and now have a regular monthly session in the morning and in the evening so that you can come and learn how to work with your breath and develop that practice. This is a wholesome class. We do some work with the body, some breath and also do some meditative practices, understand meditation for what it really is. And you will see the change in your life as you invest in this, in this work. So do look up our classes if you've been thinking of helping yourself with stress with anxiety with sleep. Also to develop some tools for self care and self reliance, then do look up our morning and evening classes taught by Manisha and Gayatri who are the members of our team and give it a shot. See what it means for you. If you try it out for a month or maybe three months, looking forward to hearing from you.
