I haven\u2019t explored the subject of meditation<\/strong> much in this blog. And it\u2019s not to take away from this side of yoga<\/strong>\u2026 My approach to this practice has been, and continues to be, very gradual. I am a very active woman; sometimes I even describe myself as a bit of a whiner, and I tend to get myself into dynamics of stress, trying to cope with many more tasks than I really can as a working mother.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons why I practise Ashtanga Vinyasa<\/span><\/a> is because through movement and physical effort, synchronised with breathing, I find it much easier to enter a state of meditation<\/strong>, or a state of complete presence and mindfulness<\/em><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps my block about static meditation is laziness. I still find it hard to stop and sit down to meditate<\/strong>. And since I believe in the benefits of this practice, to overcome this mental barrier I have set myself the goal of at least sitting in the lotus position<\/a><\/span>, whether I do all the exercises that I am showing you today or not.<\/p>\n
