The body is a vehicle which needs to be kept healthy to be enjoyed - as Baz Luhrmann the famous movie maker (moulin rouge) proclaims ! The primary way to do that is to bring the body in to total balance - balancing out the yin yang or the masculine/ feminine energies within oneself .Hatha yoga is the one of the oldest simplest and most gross way to do that - where one sees and senses the changes almost immediately by just purely working on the right and left sides of the body - eventually leading to intense purification . - through yoga asan and pranayam. When I look back at my physical yoga practice this has been the constant and ongoing struggle .
One is constantly reminded in ones self practice - about the imbalances in ones own physical body - for examply if the right hamstring is tighter the left hip is more open or if the right shoulder is more open than the left then the left shoulder might be the stronger one - this the beauty and challenge of a regular yoga practice which constantly brings one back to the mat again and again for that quest for balance . within oneself . Where by ofcourse this leads one to subtler journeys to further balance out the emotional and mental imbalances and conditoning .
