The psychological effects and benefits of yoga enhance our physical well-being. This is what separates yoga from athletics. Devereux (p.50, 2002) stipulates the rewards of intense concentration during yoga asana as a form removing blocks within the mind and the body. By using yoga we can develop this concept as a reminder to repeatedly bring ourselves into a physical and mental unified state (Devereux, 2002). So much easier said than done.
Yet, isn't it comforting to know that just trying to address this dichotomy brings us closer to achieving the calmness in everyday life that we so desire and deserve.
Keep up the yoga and smile...
Namaste,
Renate
