Never mind the mental relaxation I get from yoga, yoga is the only thing that makes my back feel better (other than Advil).

Yoga is great for relaxing and stretching out my tight muscles after running

Modern world is increasing in complexity at dizzying speeds - every moment we have to exercise choices whose consequences are fed back to us immediately and yet may affect us for a long time to come. Only a person trained in equanimity, balance and strength is likely to come out unscathed. To me Yoga is the vehicle that helps restore that equilibrium like no psychiatrist, dietician or spiritual leader can.

Our world is moving so fast with work, home, kids and many other draws for attention and action.

Yoga encourages us to be in the moment, and in so doing, invites us to really participate in life.

Yoga is an ideal way to stretch yourself after a full day of desk work. You can feel the peace of your body.

Darla Catalano 9-07-2010 @ 10:27AM

I love yoga because you start out your practice thinking that you're stretching and expanding your body, but you really end up stretching and expanding your heart and mind.

Yoga saved my back! The good news is I am 58 and live an active life. I just went skydiving with my grandson. This has not always been the case.I have degenerative arthritis. I saw a doctor when I was 20, and he said I had the back of an 80 year old. I have had periods of being incapacitated, and went through many types of treatment-braces, epidural shots of cortisone, physical therapy, chiropractors, and strong pain medications, All with out much relief. I decided to take yoga about 8 years ago to relax from a stressful job. My yoga teacher was very good at modifying the moves for me, but soon I discovered I could do more and more. She also helped with my posture which had changed due to my body compensated for the back discomfort. This in turn helped my muscle pain. I do believe that if I hadn't found yoga I would be disabled and dependent at this point in my life rather than actively traveling and doing activities with friends and family.

Yoga is a great way to build strength and flexibility! It is a great way to round out a diverse fitness program! It is also relaxing and helps to relieve stress! Also, it took long enough to get my fiance to do yoga, but he has found that several of the stretches and poses have helped his aching back feel better!

Yoga changes lives because instead of focusing on trite weight loss conceptions such as simply burning calories when exercising, it teaches how to connect oneself with his or her own breath. It creates inner harmony and channels positive energy for a person to begin their day with. And on top of the aforementioed spiritual effects plus alleviating many aches and pains of joints and muscles, it tones the body and can produce amazing weight loss results when practiced properly and regularly.

Yoga helps you silence your mind and find a quiet centered place within yourself. And that little slice of silence is sometimes the only peace you find in a day. And that can keep you from burning out at work, or fighting with a significant other which vastly improves your quality of life.

It's really amazing how yoga seems to make practitioners more conscious in their daily lives.

Meg 9-07-2010 @ 12:57PM

With Fibromyalgia, exercise is critical but sometimes difficult to do. Yoga seems to provide the relaxation and muscle stretching that makes each of my days so much better.

Carolyn Moye 9-07-2010 @ 12:12PM

Yoga provides a way to feed body, mind and spirit! It helps achieve flexibility, strength and a peaceful spirit.

barbara 9-07-2010 @ 4:09PM

Yoga is great for my body but even greater for my mind. Brings me to a perfect place.

Julie 9-07-2010 @ 10:34PM

You ask us to say why we think yoga changes lives... first of all I think yoga can only change the lives of those who are ready for change. You can practice yoga and stay the same. So, its not exactly the yoga that changes people, its people ready for change that allow yoga into their lives, as a deep, profound practice. Of those whose lives are changed by yoga, "why" does yoga do that (are you sure you don't mean to ask "how" yoga changes people?) ...so you are asking as though yoga were a person who can change others, its like a dance between an individual ready for evolution with the practice of yoga, and together, through the interaction between the individual and the practice, change can occur, evolution can manifest. Yoga, inherently, is a practice of shifting consciousness. It does like by magic.

I feel that yoga can renew oneself as well as bring back memories of a healthier and happier time. Yoga releases the mind, body, and soul of its stresses and worries. I want its effects to filtrate my life from addictions and constant mind pollution.

vmcmicken 9-08-2010 @ 11:11AM

Yoga it just sounds relaxing, guess I should give it a try.....soon, v

Amanda Avey 9-08-2010 @ 11:18AM

Yoga helps restore balance, both physically and mentally, when life becomes chaotic and then helps me avoid further chaos or instability. I love yoga :)

Amparo 9-08-2010 @ 11:57AM

Yoga is wonderful because it brings mind, body and soul together. No other form of exercise work all three at once. When I begin my day with Yoga, have an internal peace that prepares me for anything and everything. Physically, it is the only form of exercise that has helped my back aches. I love Yoga and I would be happy to win this DVD. I want to become a Yogi.

yoga brings me to a place of quiet so I can learn to listen. it teaches me there is more then one way to live my life. it brings me to a place where I can find balance amid the chaos. the more I live yoga, the more centered I become.
