Stress and Yoga part 2
I am constantly amazed at Yoga's ability to relieve stress. Being an owner of a Yoga and Pilates studio seems like a stress free job. But you still have all the distractions of any other small business - H.S.T. , Pay roll, marketing, admin, etc, etc. But one Yoga class and all is well again. You reset your stress levels back to zero. Deepak Chopra writes about the mind being non local. Meaning our thoughts and memories are not stored just in our brains, they are stored throughout our bodies. Think about working all day, and you start feeling pain and stress in your neck and shoulders. This is stored thoughts and memories. Come out to a yoga class and you will release the muscles and energy blockages in your neck and shoulders. As you release the muscles so will you release the stress. The stress releases out of the muscles and releases out of the mind.
