What Yoga Taught Me
What Yoga Taught Me….
It was never just about the poses.
Yoga gently entered my life like a whisper, but over time, it became a guide, especially when everything felt messy.
When my dad got sick, it was the most difficult time of my life.
I had already been practicing yoga, but during that period it became a true part of me. It helped me calm down, release tension, and see things I had never noticed before. It’s not a religion for me, it’s a way of life, almost like a form of therapy for the soul.
Today, I see the 8 limbs not as ancient philosophy...
but as tools that help me survive the noise and pressure of daily life
🧘♀️ Yama taught me how to protect my energy ,by setting boundaries that don’t feel like guilt.
🌿 Niyama reminded me that self-discipline is a form of self-love. That showing up for me, even on quiet days, matters.
🤍 Asana gave me a home , in my own body. When words didn’t help, movement did.
🌬 Pranayama became my anchor during anxiety. I realized: if I can breathe through it, I can live through it.
🛑 Pratyahara helped me step away from overstimulation. Turning inward is not escape, it’s survival.
🎯 Dharana is my mental declutter. One breath, one moment, one focus that’s where my power lies.
🧘♂️ Dhyana taught me to sit with myself, to listen… and finally hear.
🌌 Samadhi? It’s not an end. It’s the pause between all the noise, where I remember — I am already whole.
👉 Maybe you don’t practice yoga. But maybe you’ve felt the need to unplug, breathe deeper, focus, or reclaim peace.
That’s yoga too. It’s how you live.. 😌
