Larry's Yoga Discovery 2nd Entry

As I discussed in my previous entry, I'm excited about my new found discovery of the practice of yoga.  I'm still in the infant stages of my studies of the yoga culture, but I feel it is has a direct connection to the way that I want to live my life going forward.  I know that I want to be able to grow and strengthen my mind, body and spirituality as I go through this journey of life.  Although I'm not totally giving myself to the Hindu religion and philosophy, I appreciate and embrace many of its ideologies and beliefs.  Although I don't see myself, gravitating towards the religous aspect of yoga, I see myself following many of its traits and embodying many of its practices.  As it applies to my yoga practice and also my real life, I want to see what happens in the next 5 years or so as my practice grows.  I want to see how aware I am of my mind, body, and spirit and how I can affect others around me.  One thing I know for sure its that every time I finish a practice, I have yoga "high", and it's a feeling I can't explain. I could be having the worst day, but so many I just come out of practice feeling like a million bucks.  

Every time I post to my blog, I want to share something that I learned from one of my recent practices.  For example, yesterday I learned that the word "ahimsa" means non-violence, which is one of the subproducts of 8 limbs of yoga.  I've always been a peaceful person, but it's these types of features of yoga that I want to life my life like always.  And you thought yoga was just about stretching, lol.....
