“If you’re not taking care of mind AND body, you’re leaving half of the equation missing.”
We live in a world where we are hyper-focused on appearance. Rather than worrying about factors such as our internal health and well-being, we are often too concerned with whether we can fit into a certain size of jeans or whether we have washboard abs. We put all of our time and money into activities that strengthen the way we look, while our mental health falls by the wayside. Yoga with Elvis hopes to aid anyone whom is interested in meditation with valuable information so you may cultivate a home practice.
When most people think about health and improved fitness, the main thoughts that come to mind are traditional forms of exercises like running, strength training, along with dieting and nutrition. No doubt about it nutrition and exercise are staples of good health however, one key element of ‘health and wellness’ that is far too often overlooked is the mental component. If you’re not taking care of mind AND body, you’re leaving half of the equation missing. Doing meditation regularly won’t produce visible changes in your body, but it can definitely impact how you feel on a day to day basis and can have tremendous improvements on your daily life.
Meditation is an exercise for the mind, in the same way as a running session or weight lifting helps to strengthen your body, or in the way that grilled salmon and steamed vegetable meal provides nutrients. Meditation helps strengthen your mind. Let's face it, today's world is a demanding one. With heavy workloads, traffic jams, financial and relationship troubles, we're more stressed and under more pressure than ever before. The practice of meditation has an abundance of health benefits that can alleviate the stress of modern living and bring some balance back to your world.
