You can live a very healthy, happy and satisfying life practicing Yoga and Meditation.

Whatever you do with full awareness will bring you joy and great results. And it all starts with staying tuned in with yourself…

With regular practice of Yoga and Meditation you can maintain peaceful feeling within even in the most demanding situations. That inner calmness is your best guide through your life.

You can enjoy your day-to-day life when you consider your needs on all levels – physical, mental and emotional. Both Yoga and Meditation are complimentary systems focusing on your entire being. Holistically developing each and every aspect of who you are.

You live in your body and by caring for it you invite blessings into your relations, into your work and into your whole life. Your body is your vehicle in which you travel through this world. So much as you take time to nourish it, maintain it and rest it – so will be your physical experience here in this life.

Yoga and Meditation are in the service of your physical body.

True Yoga and Meditation Practice is not for achieving any external goals. It is important to differentiate it from any forms of competitive disciplines where record objectives are gained by using the body – and unfortunately often abusing it with contusions.

Yoga and Meditation are to focusing on the real needs of your physical body in each present moment. You recognise and accept them with full heart. Then you address them with specifically designed practice.

How you think will decide your life choices, how you relate to yourself and other people. Your thoughts – conscious and subconscious – determine your belief-system about yourself and the world around you. Every day you interpret all information that reaches you through your senses or already resides in your memory. Your individual interpretation of yourself, others and your environment create the reality you live in.

Yoga and Meditation install in you a new way of perceiving the world and interacting with it.

Mindful practice of Yoga Asanas and Pranayama, truly feeling the body through each and every breath, move and posture increases level of your self-awareness.

Bringing about mental quietude through regular daily Meditation Seating improves your concentration and memory.

Your emotions trigger your thoughts and are the deeper cause of your actions. Your feelings drive you through life. How much energy you have, what is the state of your body and your mind depends on the emotions you experience short and long-term.

Specific movements and specific positions of your body held for longer time trigger respective emotions.

Simplest example is your emotional state in a stooping-closed-chest posture versus emotional state in straight-shoulders-back posture. Former triggers fear, indecision and low self-esteem. Whereas the latter triggers confidence, good mood and high self-esteem.

Your body has entire emotional map blueprinted in it. Your mind has such map as well.

Keeping specific posture of your body trigger specific feelings in you. And in the same way your habitual thinking patterns create your emotions every day.

By “resetting” your mind with Meditation you can “format it and instal” a much better “programs” of healthier and more productive thinking. Eventually with regular Meditation Practice you can simply chose longer intervals of complete silence and stillness within to preserve your energy.

How you carry your physical body has an impact on your hormones and they trigger your emotions and thoughts. Emotional and mental state you habitually stay in shape your physical aspect accordingly.

Yoga exercise produces hormones of happiness and Meditation practice produces hormones of calmness, most optimally reshaping your physical, psychological and emotional bodies.

Your inner happiness gives you surge of energy and allows you to deal with things with enthusiasm, confidence and ease.

Your inner calmness makes you focused, brisk and effective as well as allows you to know how much to do and when to let go.

Doing too much leads to burn out. Doing too little doesn’t lead anywhere.

True Yoga and Meditation helps you to find the golden proportion between action & non-action and it is the greatest lesson of life.

Focused asana practice makes you more aware on physical and energetical level.

You have specific habit patterns of how you use your body. How you sit, how you stand and how you walk. How you eat. How you talk. How you lay down and how you sleep.

Your body language is not just a physical manifestation of movements. It is also a manifestation of your energetic development.

You can modify the model of your behaviours through deep concentration on your body with Yoga Asanas.

When your body wants to do something automatically „as it is used to” – for example taking a bad stooping posture or leaning to one side „as usual” – you bring back the focus and make sure Asana is performed in perfect anatomical alignment.

When your mind wants to drift away after the chain of „usual” thoughts – any time you realise it happened – you bring yourself back to silence using your body as a point of mental attentiveness.

Practicing Asanas in this manner – on both physical and mental levels – corrects the habitual behaviours of your body and mind.

You will notice a very positive difference in how you use the body and how you think on daily basis. And it changes completely the way you feel about yourself and everything in your life.

First is your energy then your material manifestation.

Your thoughts are energy waves and they impact your energy. Even one thought can immediately change the state of your being.

In the same way the lack of thoughts altogether influences you tremendously in positive way. It is like giving a break to your nervous and hormonal systems from constant activity of modern life. Like putting your body on pause, so that your body can rest and recharge.

The brain uses up the most calories that we eat. It is shocking but mental activity takes up most of your energy. If the mind is agitated it robs your body from the vital force needed for normal physiological functioning.

By regular practice of Meditation, you can preserve your vital force and the body can finally have reserves for true healing and proper maintenance of itself.

Sense of peace is tremendously important for your health. When you are stressed, your body produces cortisol and adrenaline. These stress hormones block other functions of the body „until the life threat is gone”. Production of other hormones is stopped. It is a natural survival response.

In dangerous situation your body has to move faster to get through and remain alive, hence the stress hormones are immediately produced. They interfere with the production of other life regulating hormones and therefore momentarily block all normal bodily processes.

In normal life when we are close to nature such situation would occur next to presence of a predator or during dramatical natural calamity like flood, fire or earth quake. Once the danger is gone the body comes back to normal functioning again.

However, in our modern society fear and stress is a prevailing emotion on long-term basis without actual physical cause. It is purely a mental and emotional state caused by the overload of information through ever-present electrical media.

During “socially accepted normal level of stress” the amount of cortisol and adrenaline are maybe not as high „as when the actual tiger chases you”. But even in smaller quantities they are still present in your blood stream all the time and continually interfere with your basic life functions. Stress is indeed the biggest killer in the long run.

It cannot be emphasised too much, how important it is to bring your mind to calmness, stillness and silence.

Not giving importance to thoughts during your Yoga and Meditation practice on daily basis is a great way to improving your health, wellbeing and life quality.

Yoga and Meditation are in fact twin practices. No different at its core. There is a different approach and focus but the aim is the same – to overcome the mind and become its master. Mind affects the body, and the body affects the mind. In Yoga practice we work from the body towards the mind. In Meditation we work from the mind towards the body. Both practices eventually set us free from the sufferings of life. You can practice Yoga only, or Meditation only, or practice both Yoga and Meditation together. Which approach you chose depends on your personal preferences, as well as how your body and mind were developed from genes and through your education and upbringing. What practice you chose can also depend on your present life style and belief system. You can be more physical person or more intellectual person. You have developed different talents, skills and traits, and they can be successfully used in your individualised Yoga or Meditation practice.

Hatha Yoga is also a preparation for deeper or higher practice of Raja Yoga. Raja Yoga is in fact Meditation practice maintained in one Asana. Firstly, the body is cleansed and strengthen by Yoga Kriyas, Yoga Asanas and Yoga Pranayama. Until it becomes ready to be comfortably still for longer periods of time and receive higher forms of energy in Meditation.

In some Meditation traditions you can directly start from seating posture and by stilling your mind gain dominium over your body too.

The Yoga Style where you remain for longer intervals in the Asanas not only allows you to find better alignment in the body but also a connection to your deeper, more subtle, more silent feelings within yourself. Such practice can be called Meditation in Asanas or Meditation that uses the Body as a Focus Point. We can also call it the Yoga of Meditation.

The Buddha said that your human life is a very special kind of life you have as a soul that can live in different forms physical and non-physical. The human life in physical body gives you unique opportunity to grow spiritually.

Your body is a fantastic tool for grounding the mind. Thoughts carry you away, whereas the body brings you back to reality. If you recall how you are in your dreams, you may realise that your consciousness normally just snaps from scene to scene in scattered and accidental manner. Sometimes you might have a little control, but most of the time it is random experience that simply happens to you.

When you are in physical body it brings back your mind from all these messy journeys (from one chain thought and emotional reaction to it to another chain thought and emotional reaction to it). The body is like a reminder where you are, when you are, and who you are. By focusing on your body you notice more quickly when you drifted away and can simply pull yourself back by letting go of the thoughts.

Tuning into the feeling of alignment of the physical body is a very powerful way to bring about mental stillness and silence. Such Yoga Practice not only will dramatically raise the level of your self-awareness, but it will also be safe! Before your do something you will feel much earlier whether the movement and pose is correct or not.

You should always consider your individual needs and anatomical structure of your body. Your joint formation depends on your genes as well as how you used your body through childhood until it took fully adult form.

You may be very flexible and sit on the floor completely straight with ease. Or like most people you may need to use height under the buttocks for seating on the floor or even use a chair.

The greatest lesson in any self-growth practice is the lesson of acceptance and loving yourself just the way you are.

We are so bombarded by visual imagery that we have an impression as if there is so much perfection out there whereas our body is so “imperfect”. It can relate to your perceived sense of beauty. In Yoga and Meditation particularly, there is somewhat erroneous fixation on development of flexibility and strength, rather than what it was meant for – the self-awareness and self-growth.

Seeing the reality as it is and acting to meet your true needs indeed starts from acceptance. This topic is so important when we talk about meditation posture. You need to put your needs first and wants should come last. It is ok with practice to go deeper in poses both in Yoga as well as in your favourite Meditation Asana. However you shouldn’t interfere with your Meditation practice for the sake of trying too hard to achieve a difficult pose.

Seeing fancy photos in the books you might have come to the conclusion that unless you seat in Padmasan (Lotus Pose) you are not fit for Meditation. Or worse that instead of focusing on Meditation practice your mind chases the goal of achieving this pose at all costs.

In each and every culture and religion there is some form of Meditation or the other. Click this link to read about the most popular meditation techniques.
