Yoga as a Lifestyle for Professionals

No matter what’s going on in your life, most of us struggle with fitting in exercise, relaxation, and “me” time into our hectic schedules. When we start to think of a healthy routine building, we often stop finding it difficult to incorporate as the days go by. The most worrying part about health and wellness concerns is the rising health issues that we encounter irrespective of age. Where are we going wrong? It is that we are busy, which is one fact, and on the other side, we are covered with information, and for most things, we have an answer in the digital world. Hence, human interaction is becoming less and less, making us more dependent on machines than humans. For the same reason, we are emotionally weak, physically struggling, or stuck when facing some life challenges. Whoever is providing a quick fix, people are attracted to that in the name of busyness, not realizing the bigger impact that it gives.
Here are a few issues that begin with:
  • Chronic stress and anxiety
  • Poor posture and related back problems
  • Irregular sleep patterns
And this leads to diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, PCOD/PCOS-related issues for women, etc. So, before digging into the topic, what we need first is to make the path, i.e., wellness, more enjoyable so that we can keep our health safe. How can we do it? Taking small steps toward it is the only way. Now, when you think of a yoga class, don’t plan for a big fat one-hour practice. Start small, just start with 10 minutes of simple yoga practice and increase it gradually. We are aware of the fact that our ancient practice, THE YOGA, is accepted worldwide, and people now understand its benefits. But consistency is the key, and to get there, START SMALL. Also, it’s equally important to do asana practices correctly. So, where do you start?
Creating a Sustainable Practice
The key to maintaining a regular yoga practice amid a busy schedule lies in smart integration:
  1. Morning Routine
    • Start with 10-15 minutes of gentle stretches
    • Include brief meditation sessions
    • Practice simple breathing exercises
  2. Evening Wind-down
    • Gentle stretching before bed
    • Relaxation poses for better sleep
    • Mindfulness practices
Once you are in for at least an hour routine, here are a few other tips to fit yoga, and more relaxation and mindfulness, into your busy life:
  • Tell your requirement of a half-an-hour class
  • Join yoga classes with certified instructors
  • Explore online yoga classes for flexibility
