Happy spring!
Warmer, longer days full of trail runs, bicycle rides, climbs and hikes are just around the corner. It may seem that with such a plentitude of excellent outdoor activities a regular Yoga asana practice may seem extraneous or burdensome. I know that the majority of you reading this require no convincing to the benefits that time spent on your sticky mat can provide… but for the occasional practitioner, let me draw you in.
Strength, balance and the purification of the bodily systems are the 3 primary physical benefits developed through a regular Yoga asana practice. Who wouldn’t want that? Practicing regularly will help decrease the strain from the occasional summer weekend overdose of fun. Yoga cultivates greater body-wide awareness, allowing for more intelligent engagement in whatever you are doing- from managing a steep and rocky trail to dealing with Flagstaff summertime traffic. The equanimity we develop through our focused activity at NAYC helps us deal appropriately with the vicissitudes of life.
I could go on and on, but I’m sure you get the point. Yoga is good for you. Consistent practice opens the doors of potential and helps you be the best human being you can be.
Peace-
Steff
