As we move another day forward, this the 34th Day since the beginning of the Give-Back Diet, I want to convince you of the joys of yoga.<\/p>\n
Yoga is a Sankrit word for “union.” It all about making connections with your body, with emotions and with God. I also believe that living your life fully, is an expression of the yoga of life – it is all about making a union with all that is. The word “yoga” can also be translated to the word, “yoke,” or a kind of joining together, or a harness or discipline. In its purest definition, yoga is a method of connecting the mind with the body, for the purpose of uniting yourself with the Supreme. You may practice this in any religion.<\/p>\n
Here’s a video of a yoga posture, the Triangle, that I hope you’ll try along with me. It’s about 10 minutes, and you may do it standing up or seated in a chair. It does involve holding the breath and stretching, so make sure you have permission from your doctor to exercise before you try this! If you feel dizzy or short of breath, of course, sit down and breath normally.<\/p>\n
