Yoga For Beginners – Six Reasons Why You Will Love Yoga

This post is inspired by a contest currently running on Twitter @himalayanorg #yogais.

As a Yoga Teacher I am often asked by students and friends, “What is yoga?” If you have ever practiced yoga, you will know there is no one definition of yoga.

What Is Yoga?

If you Google “What is yoga…” you will find a wide range of entries. Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia, states “yoga refers to the traditional physical, mental and spiritual disciplines that originated in India.

Good morning and bless you. I wish you peace.

This morning, guided by my inner muse I scanned through my Twitter feed and clicked through on a tweet by Jackie Walker (@jackiewalker)

Memorised I read the tweet, clicked through to the recommended link and magic happened. I read a poem, a creative piece of magic by Joanna Paterson “If I Were In Charge Of The World” (http://bit.ly/fo9HUi)

At the end of her piece, Joanna suggested we set the timer for 7 minutes and using the prompt “If I were in charge of the world” write what we would do.

Here is my two pence worth of seven minutes.

If I Were In Charge Of The World

If I were in charge of the world I would fly through the hearts of our elected and unelected leaders.

Welcome to the other side of my life – writing. As a child I loved writing and would spend many happy hours curled up reading and writing my diary and making notes for my bestseller. Over the years, the fire dimmed and writing for pleasure took a back seat.

In recent years I have rediscovered and reconnected with the magic of the written word and am so glad to have the courage to share my words with you.

Writing is one of the ways I reconnect, release and let go of fears, worries and at the same time celebrate and Give Thanks for all the beauty in and around my world.
