maha mat new yoga york - the basics

It's about leaving your ego at the door and moving your body in the present moment. You know firsthand the benefits of incorporating yoga into your life: stress management, mental balance, and more.

Some balance postures require enormous muscle control in order to prevent you from falling over. Take inventory of your own yoga experience and see if you relate to any of these benefits to teaching the art yourself. Then the waistline will gently draw in to a point, while the heart draws toward the toes.

To lengthen the life of your mat, it is best to keep it guarded and clean by always storing it in your yoga mat bag and to clean it on a regular basis. It is more important to honor your body than to try to do a pose perfectly. Finally, since you are not overworking any specific muscle group, you are less likely to get injured.

You will gain a sense of peace and tranquility. If you begin to feel more spiritual it's probably because you are more in tune with your body and life than you were before you started doing yoga.
