What do you think of when you picture Yoga in your mind?
Is it just stretching in some picturesque pose in some picturesque and serene landscape? ….yes it can be that way for some people especially if there is some kind photographer building an attractive portfolio nearby to inspire.
For many people of all sizes and sorts ……and locations ……it is about developing flexibility and discipline to improve the body and mind. The practice helps to feel and move with strength, grace, through improved muscle tone, circulation, respiration and mental focus.
Every day people gather at a quiet place like yoga studios or other communal spaces and perform yoga together. yet it seems like the image you get is of lone human in a beautiful pose in some stark, beautiful landscape.
Both are true…just choose the situation that suits your mood if you can
and relax about the reality that day in either case.
