A Simple Way to Enhance Your Life

THE RUBBER BODIES, the aquiline body forms, the extreme bends. Have T they ever put you off yoga? If yes, I don't blame you. Yoga is not about bending your body like elastic. Yoga Chitta vritti nirodha - this means to still the vrittis (fluctuations) of the mind via self-realization as explained in Yoga Sutras by the father of yoga, Patanjali, who lived and formulated the steps of yoga around the 2nd Century BC.

So how can yoga help you still the fluctuations of the mind? Each one of us is waking up to a frenzy of tasks to do every day, every minute and we mindlessly go from one task to the other. But when we pause, un-hurry, suddenly the stress starts to ease out. Of course, you will tell me you don't have time to pause. But that's really not true, right? When we resolve to put our self-nurturing over all the other priorities we have, we can truly achieve just 20 minutes of structure that can help us get calmer. And listed below is that régime.

Wake up to you

For the first 20 minutes after waking up, just be with you. The calmness you feel in the mornings is the best time to prepare yourself for the day. Set the expectations right with your family members - you should wake up and be alone, preferably sitting near a window or on a terrace.

Start with simple deep breaths
