Often people question why practice yoga or how does yoga improve/ better your life? Simply put you should attempt to take the practice of yoga into your everyday life.

We have all heard “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” and that tends to be fine and dandy when you are trying to recreate a scene from the movie Hangover. However, if you take the Vegas mentality mentality to the yoga mat, it defeats some of the basic fundamentals of your yoga practice.

A good example of how this works fundamentally is many times in a yoga practice we reach poses that are difficult or our bodies just do not want to go into the pose. How you handle these moments in your yoga practice on the mat has a direct correlation to how you handle items that arise In your life.

Just like life you have a choice – do you breath and stick with it? Do you give up? Do you find a comfortable place and hang out?

Take a moment to see how your yoga practice on the mat relates to your journey in life off the mat.
