If you've declared 2022 to be YOUR year, you may want to consider this ancient discipline to balance mind, body and spirit.
The benefits of yoga are countless and, in fact, the meaning of its name gives us a good clue: yoga in Sanskrit means 'union'. Union of what?, you might ask: of our body with our mind. Paraphrasing the British philosopher Alan Watts, the technocracy of the last century has made our lives go at an unstoppable pace, and our perception of life is conditioned by logic and the 'cerebral', instead of the instinctive and natural that represents that connection between our body and our mind. For this reason, yoga went from being a meditative practice to an integral exercise to strengthen the different aspects of our being.
If you've decided to start exercising this year and gyms or aggressive techniques aren't your thing, yoga is a great option. We have a couple of outdoor recommendations here in San Miguel for you to discover more about this fantastic way to exercise your body and mind, and (re)connect with your spirituality.
