Why Yogalimbs?
Yoga speaks for itself and the word limbs stands for limbs that help us with the asanas, the poses but this also refers to the parts, the branches of yoga.
In Ashtanga yoga, (not to be confused with Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga) created by Sage Patanjali, there are 8 limbs. 8 branches that are practiced in order to lead us to the eighth limb, Samadhi, unity between body and mind, free from desire.
We have collectively lost this link by focusing too much on our body alone while body and mind are one whole. We are going to reconnect these two with our primary life need, breathing. Compared to other automatic body functions, we can directly influence and manipulate our breath to our advantage. That makes our breath so powerful in times of stress.
Why is consistency key?
Not just a nice slogan that rhymes. This is something I stand behind 100%. Humans are creatures of repetition. Day in, day out, breathe in, breathe out. Since my introduction to yoga I have understood that routine is important and provides structure, and structure provides peace. Knowing why you do something is the biggest motivator and ensures that you keep doing it. Not for the next 12 weeks, but for the rest of your life.
Create a morning routine.
Without realizing it, you already have one, because what have you probably done your entire life when you get out of bed? Exactly... go to the toilet. Build on this, drink a glass of water and then stand on your yoga mat and do 1 simple stretch. This costs you no time, no money and you build on your quality of life.
