Yoga- Unlocking The Doors To Peace Of Mind In A Stress Packed World

The world as we know it has become so much consumer oriented that competition has become the order of the day. The results of this lifestyle are there for all to see, the confusion that we see in all the systems that are running our current world. Most people live in a really confused state of mind and they are in search of themselves.

And in trying to get solutions, people end up in practices that not only hurt themselves, but the rest of the population and the physical world, making it a vicious cycle whose end we may never get to see. People simply do not know how to deal with their own lives and the amount of stress we have to deal with is simply overwhelming.

This lack of inner peace and balance in life is what actually leads to dis- ease and a lot of despair as people use the wrong ways to try and achieve happiness by any means. The results of this deficiency in inner peace and happiness is well manifested in the way people relate with others as well. There are a few people who have come to learn that the solutions to the challenges of life are not necessarily found on the outside, but need to come from within. It is this search of answers from within, which is filled with simplicity, that Yoga is all about. The solution is to be found in the balance of the body, mind and intelligence.

The sound practitioner of Yoga learns the way in which to deal with internal challenges by focusing on solutions that are already inside of them. They are able to re-awaken an inner awareness that flows inside their systems and in the process this power gets to banish any negative emotions they would be experiencing such as fear, anxiety, pain, misery, and loneliness. The results are a life full of peace, happiness and simplicity.

Any of the modalities of yoga such as Hatha, Bikram Yoga, Ashtanga or Hot Yoga will contribute to your inner peace. Look for yoga classes in your area.

How does Bikram yoga compare to Ashtanga or other yogas?

Don’t know how much you already know regarding Bikram, Ashtanga, and others.

If little, the short descriptions at following site may give you a start.

I’ve read a few not-so-flattering opinions about Bikram…

…But have also heard many who say they love what it does for them.

I’ve never tried a true Bikram class.

Once my main teacher (Iyengar/Anusara) turned the heat in her studio up to about 85 F – which is still far from the standard Bikram temp of 100 F or more.
I can say the heat did get us sweating very quickly, and it did seem the additional heat promoted deeper muscle relaxation, thus some deeper flexibility.

Many non-Bikram followers take issue with his stance to legally trademark his style, and other issues such as his support for asana contests/competitions.

My perspective: if you are mainly seeking a physical activity, try Bikram and if you enjoy it, more power to you.

However, if you believe part of your interest in yoga is spiritual development (self realization), in the long run, you may be more satisfied with a more authentic style, such as Jois’ Ashtanga Vinyasa, or others that recognize asana practice as a small component within a greater system towards self realization.
