Choosing among the best Yoga Styles...

As a yoga teacher, I always come across a question from my beginner practitioners, very often they asked me 'What kind of yoga should I start with if my aim is so...,so...,and so...'. Continued with, ‘I saw the magazines or I heard from my friends that yoga will help me lose weights, tone-up and bla..bla..bla..’ and end with ‘I’m just a beginner and I’m not flexible, I’m worried that I can’t twist and bend like the poses I saw in the medias’.

Actually, practicing yoga is all about the feeling of serenity, harmony and a quiet state of mind. Yoga will not only beneficial to your physical body but also mentally. A good practice will give you a feeling of the unity of the mind and body through out the flowing from asanas(pose) to asanas in a yoga practice while a 'not so good' practice which I used to described, will make you feel short of breathes as well as having discomfort on your body.

After a period of times practicing yoga,normally ones will start to notices the changes physically. An obvious changes will be a more tone-up body,better posture, better stamina and a healthier skin tones. As for the problematic practitioners (e.g.:those who have backpains,kneepains, high blood pressures, low blood pressures, constipations and indigestions problems) will realizes that their conditions is slowly improving.

With the yoga posters and photos seen in the medias,yoga always give people a wrong impression that we have to twist and turn ourselves like a pretzel. As I always mentioned to my practitioners, those photos are for promotional purposes and to create awareness from publics, hence, a more advance poses were used for the photo shootings. During a yoga session, options will always be given to the practitioners based on their flexibility to ensures everyone getting the same benefits.Therefore, it shouldn’t be a barrier for anyone to start practicing yoga.

Focusing on alignment in a yoga pratice are important,however, forcing yourself to get the best alignment was a TOTALLY WRONG PERCEPTION as it will not only make you feel terrible but also harm your body. Always bear in mind, be patient, when the right time comes, you'll be able to reach the perfect poses.

Few years back, when I first started my yoga practice,chasing for advance poses and getting the best alignment was my first priority. I’m a great fans of vigorous yoga practices as it gave me a greater sense of achievement and egoism. I felt proud of myself showing off the advance poses and perfect alignments. I’m in love with yoga simply because I was amazed with the poses.

During my teacher training course, I begin to realize the true meaning of yoga. I begin to see and understand the body structural limitations. Yoga practice can always be mild. With the great co-ordination between our breaths and movements which can easily be obtain by just doing some basic asanas, we’ll find a peace of mind, we will find a calmness in our body and we will find the true beauty of yoga. This will not only beneficial to your body but also to your mind. This experience had really change my mind.

If you ever ask me to tell you the best styles of yoga, I’ll have said the answer lies in you, YOUR BODY AND YOUR MIND. Every single days our body and mind changes, we need to find a balance in our life. When you find the equilibrium in your life, you will find yourself living life to the fullest…

Today's Meditation:

So much of unhappiness, it seems to me, is due to nerves; and bad nerves are the result of having nothing to do, or doing a thing badly, unsuccessfully or incompetently. Of all the unhappy people in the world, the unhappiest are those who have not found something they want to do. True happiness comes to those who do their work well, followed by a refreshing period of rest. True happiness comes from the right amount of work for the day.

Lin Yutang

There are many people who link unhappiness to not having enough to do, or to having a lot to do but not getting any joy out of it. A person who works on an assembly line, for example, may have plenty of work to do every day, but may put into his or her work the bare minimum of effort necessary to get by. And this is understandable--after all, how creative can one get while working on an assembly line, doing the same work every day?

But when we're busy, it's up to us whether that time is well spent or poorly spent. I've worked on an assembly line for medical products, and I stayed focused on the end use of the products--they actually could save people's lives. It's up to us to decide whether we're going to do the work we have very well, or do it to the least of our abilities. If we want to be happy, it seems, it's necessary for us to see the work that we do as important, and then to treat it as if it were truly important. We all can't be doing only what we want to do all of the time, if I were able to do so, I would have spent my whole life doing nothing but writing novels. But that's not where my life has led me, so I spend most of my time doing other work, and doing my best to make sure that I do a good job for the sake of the people for whom I'm working.

This attitude allows me to be at peace, and to find fulfillment in my work. I don't come home feeling as if I've wasted a day, or as if my work has no meaning. All work has meaning, and if we do our work well, we add to the lives of those who are touched by the work we do. And if we can keep this in mind always, we won't let our nerves get the best of us.

I studied the lives of great men and women, and I found
that the men and women who got to the top were those
who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything
they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work.


Harry S. Truman
