rules were making me a hermit and isolating
me from the rest of the world. I was getting
proud and judgmental about other people’s
behavior.
Strict rules weren’t bringing me closer to
myself. On the contrary, I was ignoring things
that were natural and enjoyable. And I was
getting more and more disconnected from my
body.
Yoga is not about being strict and dogmatic.
It’s about finding a connection with our own
self. And for that, we need to experiment,
forgive ourselves, and honor our needs, rather
than follow any rules we read about. No matter
how rational they sound.
BAD HABITS on the WAY
If you want to start yoga, don’t let your bad
habits stop you. Many times, I’ve heard people
saying, ‘First I need to stop smoking,’ or ‘First
I need to start eating healthy food and lose
some weight,’ or ‘First I need to get in the
habit of waking up early.’ And I have to say;
it’s all nonsense.
