Yoga Report

You can find yoga sold as a package to suit different activities. Yoga for rowing, yoga for running and yoga for health to name a few.

In my honest opinion I think you would get more out of joining the local yoga club for a beginners class. Just make sure the teacher is the real deal with at least a 200 hour certification.

If you want to be beautiful or successful with yoga I have to burst the bubble and state a few facts. Beauty is mostly genetics and you will not get to the cover of Elle with yoga alone. It can give you a better posture and more deep breathing and this is about it.

Yoga as a tool to become successful in a sport or in a career is a bit tricky. People doing hardcore yoga in India usually give up there belongings and travel around. Are they successful ?

Sure we can train our muscles and get ourself a nice house but everything we do for an egoistical purpose will be washed away when we die. When we truly realise that all we do is to build castles in the sand will hold on to it ?

To develop in life you need friction. This is summarised in the following verses:

When I Asked God for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face

When I Asked God for Brain & Brown
He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve

When I Asked God for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People

When I Asked God for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Favors
He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others

God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed
