Start anew with yoga Time and again, there are situations in life that we view as crossroads: relocations, job changes, or major accidents are among them. Children move out, parents die, or we recover from a serious illness. We usually view the difficult moments from which we emerge as more serious than the good ones. This is why a wedding, while wonderful, is seen as less of a life-changing event than a divorce. Evolutionarily, we are programmed to avoid and resolve difficulties rather than to revel in the good things. This makes sense when we consider the life situations of our earliest ancestors, who were all about survival by being able to quickly assess critical situations. This all seems far-fetched, but this is precisely why we experience upheaval and change, stress and excitement much more intensely and remember them more lastingly than the beautiful moments in life. What we're getting at here? The fact that when we're starting over, whatever the kind, we can use a good inner and outer framework to overcome this deep-rooted shyness, sadness, or discontent. And that brings us to the idea of trying yoga! A particularly elegant yoga mat is rolled out in the new apartment, and the nearest available class is attended in an unfamiliar city – in this case, we also casually and pleasantly make new contacts. These are always important, but we need good friends, friendly neighbors and acquaintances, and every possible social contact especially urgently when we're not feeling well. Whatever affliction we're currently putting behind us, yoga can be a valuable aid. Simply relax: For this very simple exercise, close your eyes and place a silk pillow over them. You can also use the eye pillow in the corpse or dead man's pose—usually the final position after your workout. A meditative environment can also be the starting point for a new beginning: We offer incense sticks or singing bowls for this purpose. To do this, choose a meditation cushion in your favorite color, sit down in comfortable clothing and posture, and close your eyes. Do you know a mantra you'd like to hum? Otherwise, try the famous Om, the perfect sound used by yogis for thousands of years. It consists of the sequence of A, U, and M. Then take a break and feel your body's response. If you wish, you can also glide a mala through your fingers. These prayer and meditation beads can be worn as jewelry around the wrist or neck; otherwise, the beads (ideally 108, a sacred number for Buddhists and Hindus) are passed through the fingers, similar to a rosary: a calming gesture with powerful power. The different lengths are created by the various designs and materials. We also offer several color variations. You can receive a mala as a gift, or you can give one to someone for a birthday or other special occasion. These are all ways to make a fresh start with yoga in a peaceful way. This will help you find balance and find yourself. You can also do your daily or weekly exercise sessions, then take a relaxing bath and pamper yourself with our fragrant soap . Perhaps you could use the fascia massage roller with your partner or a good friend: It's much more fun to massage each other instead of doing it alone. The relaxation is also significantly greater when we don't have to do anything ourselves during the massage, but can relax completely. Image © Krisdog / 123rf.com
