Yoga to Gain Balance
“Yoga is the practice of silencing the mind.”
-Patanjali
Each person has different needs and life requirements as well as weaknesses and strengths. Yoga symbolizes the union of beings as well as the integration of mind, body and spirit. The more you progress in the practice of yoga, the higher the benefits will be obtained as it is the balance. Committing to yourself allows you to develop positive habits and progress in providing holistic wellness.
According to yogic philosophy, ignorance separates the conscience of a man with his true being. Many times, distracting and disturbing thoughts, attitudes and actions of each of us generate conflicts, imbalance and fears. Yoga induces one to experience the rupture with that false reality and to understand that everything is Brahman: pure consciousness. When the spirit evolves, it comes close to recognizing the reality of the world and true happiness. It is what is known as the full realization of being.
Knowledge is the basis of mental solidity. There are diverse yoga teachers who have transcended in the teachings of this life practice through asana, meditation and breathing exercises sharing their experiences, studies and the benefits such as self-control, balance, strengthening, health and well-being.
Once the initiative to practice yoga balances is done, serenity and compassionate love are manifested due to the introspection that is performed in meditation, relaxation asanas and pranayamas. Progressively with practice, consciousness realizes the present moment. Both sides of the body and the brain are regenerating and strengthening.

Sitting cross-legged – one foot in front of the other. Let your hands rest on your knees. Pay attention to the straightness of the spine while the eyelids are joined, and the breathing is done subtly. Silence the thoughts by focusing attention on the air that enters and the air that comes out of the nostrils. Relax the face and body experiencing the tranquillity of silence.
