Yoga & Beauty Tips Balance with Yoga
To be in balance with yourself, your environment, your thoughts, your goals, your values… that is beauty. Balancing the Body Practicing yoga balances the entire nervous system and also energizes
and relaxes the body simultaneously. For the true benefits of yoga to
take place, both sides of the brain need to be worked out. That is why
a lot of the yoga poses concentrate on training and using both sides of
the body. Warrior I I - Virabhadrasana II Strengthens legs and arms; improves balance and concentration; builds confidence Begin in mountain pose with feet together and hands at side. Step your feet 4-5 feet apart. Turn your right foot about 45 degrees to the left. Turn your left foot 90 degrees to the left so that it is pointing straight out to the side. Slowly bend the left knee until the thigh is parallel with the floor, but keep the knee either behind or directly over your ankle. Raise your arms over head. Then slowly lower them until your left arm is pointing straight ahead and your right arm is pointing back. Concentrate on a spot in front of you and breathe. Take 4 or 5 deep breaths, lower your arms, bring your legs together. Reverse the position. |

If
you look up the word 'Beauty' in the dictionary you will find many interpretations.
And that’s exactly what they are, interpretations. I found one that
defined beauty as ‘having a sense of harmony’. To me, being
in harmony with yourself is to feel grounded, poised, balanced and strong.
Yoga is an ancient art based on a harmonizing system of development for
the body, mind, and spirit. The continued practice of yoga will lead you
to a sense of peace and well-being, and also a feeling of being at one
with your environment.
