Minimum Effort


I wish you all a deep and healthy yoga practice. Yoga, the ancient art of India has been practiced for thousands of years giving its practitioners a long life, a beautiful body, and a serene mind.
 

One of the principles of yoga that I would like to emphasize is the principle of Minimum Effort. I know that it seems like a contradiction to talk about a yoga practice and effortlessness in the same sentence. However that is precisely how the Ancients who conceived of the art and science of yoga describe the ideal yoga session. 

All actions, movements, and holds must be undertaken with the very minimum effort required. But how is such an effortlessness to be achieved? Through a continuous focus upon the breath! Breathe deeply using Ujjayi breaths. Concentrate all your attention on rhythmically breathing in and out and soon you will be doing yoga using the principle of Minimum Effort. 

My recommended yoga book is Vanda Scaravelli's Awakening The Spine. This is a beautiful book that could easily have been titled Zen in the art of yoga. Read it or simply enjoy the beautiful images of waves, trees, and yogis suspended in the air with a minimum of effort. 

Peace and Love, slowly,

Abhay

Hi abhay ghiara, this is my last visit on the 'net for now - I'm tired. I found Minimum Effort by accident as I'm searching on interbank currency trading but I got fed up with that and I've been roaming about just reading what takes my fancy. Good blog you have here, I enjoyed my visit. Have a great day and it's back to interbank currency trading searches for me tomorrow.

Hello abhay ghiara, I've just been playing Serious Sam 2 before getting down to do some research into currency trading platform; on the whole I'd rather continue playing. First place I came to was Minimum Effort so I've been having a goog time reading your blog. There are some ideas that I could maybe incorporate into currency trading platform to make it more useful. Thank you!
