Yoga is more than a discipline, it is a way of life. Yoga and its meditation techniques have helped people for thousands of years. Studies show that meditation can decrease anxiety and stress, increase focus, and even provide relief to chronic pain and illness sufferers.

These powerful ancient meditation techniques of yoga focus on mindfulness, present moment awareness and healing. For example, many of us store past emotional attachment to pain in our bodies. The yoga ‘asanas’ or poses can wring the past out of us. By manipulating areas of the body that typically receive little movement, yoga poses can purge the past from us.

Another beautiful thing you learn through the ancient meditation techniques of yoga is to become aware of your present and see the moment for what it is. When you are in the moment, the stress and anxiety simply melt away.

When we root ourselves in the present moment, we root ourselves in reality. We see the situation for what it is, now. Not for what it was last time and not for how we think it will be this time.
