Integrating Yoga Into Daily Life Aaah! We all know the amazing bliss that follows a great Yoga class. The body and mind is calm, relaxed and totally at peace- all is right with the world. Until… you have to go out into the real world. The real world can be less than blissful, even frustrating and stressful. When the real world interferes with your bliss, it’s time to take a breather. Yes, it really is as simple as pausing and taking in a slow, deep breath. With that said, simplicity doesn’t always come easily. Yoga, like life, is a process. It can come slow and easy or fast and furious. The pace is not always up to you. Learning to accept the way the world, real or surreal, unveils itself is the first step to integrating Yoga into every aspect of your life. The more you practice the more that is revealed. Taking one more breath while in a challenging pose is no different then taking a breath while in a challenging situation. So the next time you are faced with a distressing deadline at work or confronted with a personal dilemma step back out of the real world into the surreal world of Yoga. Simply pause and breathe. Allow the breath to calm and soothe your initial reactions and learned responses. Be patient with the process and diligent with the practice. Allow the bliss to unveil itself in it’s own time and at the most unusual places.
