Yoga is much more than a physical exercise

For people in general, Yoga is just a physical exercise and like any other can bring general well being.

However, Yoga is much more than a physical exercise of high difficulty. Yoga is a highly advanced technology for the evolution of humanity!
We use physical exercise (the body) a priori to provide efficient contact with physical sensations, mental activity, limitations, and emotions. Since we are quite far away from ourselves, we become unaware of how our organism works. This ignorance brings immense difficulties when managing our own strength. It is essential through regular practice to transcend to something different, an energy source that we do not know.

Physical exercise together with breathing techniques, different vocalizations, and guided relaxation help create a space between being and thinking. With practice we observe and discover that we can choose exactly what we think. That is where the discipline of practice comes in, because the most important thing is to train the mind to that end, the mind is the tool we use to create the life we want. The key word is focus (Drishti), keeping the mind focused. It's knowing exactly what you want and keeping that direction without question.

Our body is an accumulation of everything we have lived and experienced and has an incredible memory. By looking at ourselves we have the opportunity to question, evaluate, feel and then work. Start the way in (Sadhana).
Patanjali explains that we have several layers (Koshas) and the work to be done begins in the physical, passing to the mind and emotions and then to the energy body.
Asanas create physical energy, meditation creates mental and emotional energy and vocalizations and breathing techniques transform the energy. For this difference to be felt by each one of us, it is necessary the commitment to the process itself with our being. It takes something that most complain about not having... And it's not money... it's TIME, That for me translates only into surrender, surrendering this to a process that needs assertive and pleasant practices, but also that time to integrate and unveil, unmask and drop what no longer serves us.
