June 21 this year was special. Nature-wise, it was the Summer Solstice Day. Family-wise, it was the Father's Day. Community-wise, it was the Yoga Day. Arts-wise, it was the Music Day. Nations-wise, it was the Humanist day. For me personally, it was Papa's death anniversary.
Hence our blog on Saturday was about music. Yesterday, it was dedicated to Papa, and hence to fatherhood. Today, let us talk about yoga, and tomorrow about humanism.
The very air breathed yoga yesterday, what with the P.M's grand show at Kolkata, not to mention very many "world record" types online and offline. There were news after news inputs about the huge celebrations all over the world, not to forget in each college and every colony. Nice to see that health and wellness matter so much in our era of tensions and troubles.
What exactly does the word, and the involved practice therein realy mean? "Yoga" is a Sanskrit noun which comes from the verb "yuj" which means to join. Actually, hence, "yoga", of which there are many types, means joining of the body and soul. It is a forever practice.
Honestly hence I am a little wary of the "world record" types. May be, it is my problem that I am never ever comfortable with mere quantity. Quality should matter more, right? Happier I am with my small little but effective regimen! Long live the committed yoga practice, right?
Pratima@ Sure, the online experts do provide practice, suggestions, models for the less action-oriented version of yoga. Even then it is a one way track. The trainer can never see your errors of posture, et al! In the process, all good intentions might result in some sprain, not to forget some major injury/ hurt/harm, right?
Quote of the day: "Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” says the Bhagavad Gita.
Word of the day: yoga definition Yoga is an ancient discipline from India that unifies the mind, body, and spirit. It blends physical postures (asanas), controlled breathing (pranayama), and meditation (dhyana) to build strength, enhance flexibility, and promote relaxation
