Please enjoy this Yoga Checklist. This list may help you to become more aware of your surroundings, consider your environment, and indulge introspective thoughts. This time spent will add to your well being, and benefit the well being of your family and friends as well.
Life is a string of moments. We regularly see, feel and notice our body parts, our physiological pattern, emotion, weather, and environmental changes. But our recognition is not so conscious. Pay attention to how you feel and what surrounds you from time to time, as often as you can.
Yoga is not only physical exercise, being flexible and amazingly strong like a physical theatrical artist.
Yoga is about realization of your state; how you are and who you are in the moment.
