Think of a goal you would like to achieve within the next year. How do you make it happen? Through discipline. You must act, consistently and routinely, to make a thought into a reality. By way of asanas (postures and poses) and meditation, yoga instills great discipline—mind, body, and soul.

Yoga increases flexibility, promotes stamina, builds strength, tones and lengthens the muscles, strengthens the lungs and heart, rids the body of toxins, cleanses the nervous system, boosts the immune system, aligns the spine, and invigorates the overall body. Yoga can also prevent and heal many ailments (there are even specific poses that address certain issues). Asthma, arthritis, constipation, insomnia, rheumatism, and thyroid problems are just a few such common disorders.

Stress causes illness and fatigue. You can not be truly joyous and functional under heightened stress. Yoga requires a focused mind—an especially calming discipline. Through the practice of poses, yoga rejuvenates the body thereby alleviating stress stored within. And lastly, through meditation and a combination of poses and mind focus, yoga restores balance and harmony.

Through a lack of discipline, poor health practices, and an overabundance of stress; confidence can be damaged. Confidence is not just a belief in one’s self; it is also a biological matter. When you experience energy, balanced hormone levels, healthy blood and oxygen circulation; you feel confident—naturally (no belief or attitude necessary). And an added bonus, when you accomplish your goals and feel that you are capable of a calm demeanor during stressful situations; you also believe you are confident . . . and you are!

How often do you notice your breath? Is it only when you are out of it? Breathing is energy. It is our life force. It is powerful, yet we pay it no mind. It is not uncommon for people to have shallow breathing and not even realize it. Breathing to full capacity brings life, energy, vitality, youth, health, and serenity to the mind, body, and soul. Yoga brings awareness to the breath. Awareness to the breath brings gratitude for life. And gratitude for life brings instant joy.
