New Man as a Result of Yoga

I've always thought yoga was kind of cool in theory. A good stretch is a good stretch right? Yoga is so much more than just a good stretch. Yoga is a way of Life.

Physical Body Awareness - Yoga has supported me in becoming more sensitive to my body movements. I didn't realize how insensitive I've been living in a variety of ways. It's been a humbling process as there is a big emphasis in slowing down...like I am really getting to know myself at a deeper level within my body.

Since beginning, I am finding myself having a moment here or there where I just want to play with different poses and postured positions....and I do.

I've only just begun my journey within Yoga, but I did not realize how out of touch I've allowed myself to be with the small parts of myself. It's Interesting because the relationship I've had with myself throughout my life time is pretty extreme - where I am overly flexible in certain areas of my living and body...and also the flip flop - where I am overly tight in areas of my body and life.

The Big epiphany last evening was this: "I had no idea I am so sensitive"...."Man, I've been so hard on myself!"

My new exposure to Yoga has aided in my body awareness within walking....where I am just playing around slowly with my moves...really just allowing myself to play with different feels. It's been so awesome.

I am finding Yoga so enjoyable and supportive for my body...and it is so chillaxed...yet can be intense.....yet I am no where near my utmost intense potential yet!

It's funny reflecting backward how I resisted really committing to Yoga...because in my mind deep in me, I judged it and regarded it as a a bit more of a female thing..and that as a Man I should do more Intense stuff. Mind Blown in realizing Yoga gets as Intense as We are able to be. The irony is cool too...in that there's so much progression in strength training and over time, what was intense is smooth, relaxed, focused, engaged self-expression.

stellllar! thanks for the share broski!

Fascinating post, thank you. For sure, most westerners are completely out of touch with their bodies - which can lead to all sorts of problems with posture, musculature, inflexibility etc. And certainly a lot of people (especially men, as you say) if they do engage in physical development, do so with intensity instead of focussing on the mind-body connection.

yes it's interesting indeed - too much ego programming. Ironically the solution is within being sensitive with our mind-body connections and really learning how to slow down with breath awareness. real strength is within our breath awareness. Wim Hof is a cool example i've learned about with regards to our boy potentials for seemingly extraordinary ability that is actually quite natural and simplistic.

thanks for sharing your perspective here, much appreciated!

Have you been practicing yoga?

Any further support you can share with me here as someone who is still a relative Newbie to the field/practice?

Best Regards Always :)

I haven't practised yoga - yet. But I definitely want to explore it (and pilates) sometime this year. I mentioned Wim Hoff in my last post - he's a real force of nature and his technique is great for boosting energy.

Awesomeness! Just started Following you, look forward to keeping on with your shares. Thanks for connecting, and lets keep the convo's flowing moving forward.

I heard Andreas Antonopolous refer to money as Ancient Technology....one of the oldest forms of communication....and Sharing words on Steemit that are supportive is just so Spot on Money. I mean our best Sharing with one another has so much value. For instance, someone who comes by and just reads the comments is an innocent bystander who prospers from the result of great flow in the environment/community.

Thanks again for your comments, I find the more I engage, the more and more i strengthen connections/relationships.

Cheers

If you still think you might be up for the video gig I'm still open to it!

worldclassplayer (67) · 8 years ago (edited)

You know, you really got me thinking about how I want to do it. I've become super fascinated with bitshares, and I'm all in on participating and supporting the movement and growth of steemit. Also: I see this being a great push in me stepping up in creating high quality content as news that can easily be shared for everyone's best benefit.

Tell you what,

I'm gonna do it...and I will send it to you when I am done. But, you still hire someone else to get the job done. I got a couple golf games booked in over the next couple days...and a few other engagments on the go...and because i haven't been regularly playing with this type of creation...and i am super fascinated to do more of this kind of stuff...i might take my time in producing a result i am totally satisfied with.

And all in all, i see this as a double bonus...someone gets the job done solid, quick and it's out there...and then i finish my creation and there's a second video put out with the same message expressed differently.

ya, i like that.

So,

Cool, i just talked out a solution i am totally satisfied with...and I see this as a great investment into myself development and into my participation in the steemit community as someone who is super stoked to be Here :)
