Balance Regained Through Yoga

In the search for balance between body and mind; Yoga is a practice from India aiming, through meditation and body exercises, to achieve the unification of the human being in his physical, psychic and spiritual.

Yoga and balance

Relatively recent in the Western landscape, it is now well established, courses are available everywhere. They are aimed at the elderly, pregnant women, children, people wishing to fight against stress.

Even if you are a healthy adult, practicing yoga regularly can help improve your sense of well-being.
Yoga is one of the practices that best illustrates the Roman motto “a healthy mind in a healthy body” affirming that a healthy body is essential for mental and spiritual evolution.

The yoga that we know consists of doing breathing exercises and postures (there are more than 1,000). These postures often have evocative names, the tree, the cobra, etc. And their degree of difficulty is progressive.
The best-known posture is that of the lotus (sitting cross-legged). People often use it for meditation.

balance postures

Some yoga postures often use both sides of the body but with different positions or movements on the left and the right. However, the fact of stimulating the attention of the brain by different actions on the right and the left makes it possible to work the two hemispheres in an equal way and therefore, to bring a better balance at the psychic level. Finally, pranayama exercises improve balance.

Balance postures are often difficult postures. They require not only physical work of strength and flexibility, but also mental work of concentration. But the well-deserved result is therefore also double, on the physical and on the psyche. Do not hesitate to practice balance postures, even those that are a little difficult, using props.
