More Deepak is awesome

Mind-Body...we all hear this when we look into Yoga or Pilates classes, right? "Develop your mind-boyd awareness" or "Explore the mind-body connection".

It's soo simple, when you think about it. Specific exercises that alternately soothe and challenge different areas of the body, while you focus your mind to these experiences.

Experienced yoga teachers know to combine specific exercises to enhance/combat effects of the external environment, and bring their students to "center" which is really a way of saying bringing them back into balance from stresses of life such as emotional happenings, daily stress, physical stress, overeating, etc.

With time and enough awareness to your body and mind, you can start to view life in a more objective way and actually choose your reactions (mental and emotional) to different situations in life.
Cultivating the ability to choose your reactions to life situations will lessen the stress on your body and health...

How to cultivate?
Via the right diet (for you), good mental stimulation and relaxation, meditation, and proper exercise.

Woot!
