Changing Habits with Yoga
On an emotional level, a regular practice of Yoga postures, breathing exercises and meditation techniques will quickly elucidate thinking patterns that create negative emotional states. Frequently, just slowing down enough to step on the mat and be present will immediately illuminate our own angry, impatient, self-critical, or negative states of mind. Instead of becoming more angry and impatient with ourselves, this awareness presents us with the opportunity to gently nurture and patiently reorient ourselves towards a more positive state of mind.
