一句话瑜伽，第178期Abby：当人们告诉我，他们喜欢但不知如何开始瑜伽，担心不够柔韧和强壮，我总是回应说，“柔韧或者强壮非必要条件”——我摸着良心说。When people tell me they'd love to start yoga but aren't flexible or strong enough to, I always respond with, "you don't have to be flexible or strong to practice yoga" - and I mean it with my whole heart.
我的柔韧性会随着练习瑜伽与日俱增吗？对。瑜珈能帮助我认识到我的身体有多强壮？把所有的精力以体育运动的形式宣泄出来（比如双人瑜伽、跑步、健身）吗？对！但我确信假以时日，甚至只是想到锻炼就会感觉就像家常便饭。Did yoga make me flexible with time and consistency? Yes. Did yoga help me realize that my body is strong as fk and now craves getting all its energy out in the form of physical activity(I.e. Acro yoga, running, the gym)?Yes! But I sure as HELL wasn't that way a year ago, when even just the thought of working out felt like a chore.
然而，瑜伽有一个更重要的地方，每一天我越来越意识到，瑜伽让我的心更坚强。However, there is a more important aspect to yoga that I'm becoming more and more conscious of every. single. day.Yoga is making my MIND stronger.
瑜伽帮助我整理我的思绪。在这个练习之前，我对我的思想缺乏主导权。甚至没有意识到我的思维惯性，让每一个消极想法牵制我。当你的头脑凌乱时，有效的想法和无效的想法你就无法从中辨别，或者说，这是假象。Yoga helps me to declutter my thoughts. I lacked major control over my mind before this practice.Wasn't even aware of my thought patterns and let every negative one take me over.When your mind is fogged up like that you can't tell your productive thoughts from the thoughts that don't serve you,or are just plain not true.
瑜伽帮助我注意到我的消极想法，所以一旦我意识到了，我就有意识地决定不去认同它们。瑜伽首先帮助我摆脱了自我憎恨，现在我逐渐了解并爱上了自己。Yoga is helping me NOTICE my negative thoughts,so once I'm aware of then I can consciously decide not to IDENTIFY with them.Yoga.first helped me get rid of self hatred and now I am getting to know and fall in love myself.
它帮助我摆脱恐惧，自我怀疑，否认，妄想，生活在过去或未来（抑郁和焦虑），它帮助我活在当下已经学习如何实践爱。瑜伽同样对你有效——它需要纪律，但每个人都有潜能。It's helping me let go of fear, self-doubt, denial, delusion, and living either in thepast or future (depression, and anxiety) it's helping me BE PRESENT and learn how to practice LOVE.And it can do the same for you - it takes discipline, but everyone is more than capable.
瑜伽不仅仅是一种身体练习，它也是一种心理练习。这是一种生活方式。瑜伽帮助我有意识地关注我的心灵，这比身体柔韧更重要。Yoga is so much more than a pbysicalpractice- it is a mental practice.It's a way of life.Yoga helped me become CONSCIOUSLY aware of my mind, and that is so much more IMPORTANT than beingflexible.
这需要大量的练习。我每天都在学习很多东西，知道我会在我的一生中不断学习。这是多么令人兴奋的想法——还有很多爱需要学习。It takes a lot and lot of practice. I am still learningso much EVERYDAY and know that I will keep learning through out my whole life.What an exciting thought - that there's still so much left to learn love .
你可以做到！开始吧！我相信你。相信你自己，你只是不知道，爱比恨更强大。You'll get there! Just start! l believe in you. You believe in you, you just may not know it yet LOVEIS MORE POWERFUL THANHATE.
