Yoga for Self Care: Less and More than You Might Think

sunrisemountainbhavana

Yoga for Self Care?  That you would practice yoga to care for yourself seems obvious, perhaps.  You do it to stay limber, to de-stress, right?  All the common knowledge out there tells you that yoga is good for you.

A couple of years ago I wrote little blogs on my old website, each expounding on a benefit of yoga according to Dr. Timothy McCall, MD, complete with my little commentary. There were over forty substantial benefits.  From improving blood gases through practice of simple breathing techniques to ramping up cardiac health by spending time with and possibly serving others, yoga appears to be a veritable treasure trove of care tools!

However, what I’ve found is ultimately much more important than doing yoga to attain a certain result is to do it simply because, when undertaken as it is intended, yoga requires spending time with yourself, on yourself, in a dedicated, honest, and yet compassionate, manner, not knowing where the journey is going to take you.

Are you up to it? Can you make that kind of commitment to yourself?  I am offering an opportunity for you to embark on just such an adventure this spring.  Weekly classes will ensure that you spend time with yourself regularly.
