Today in yoga, the instructor began the class by telling us that the three things he would take from yoga onto a desert island would be breathing, meditation and compassion.
He talked about how as we breathe, we should take in things which enhance our life, like confidence, happiness, serenity, and as we exhale we should let go of the negative; anxiety, stress, guilt and the like. Rather than simply doing this for a few hours a week in class, we should try to bring yoga into our everyday. To remove things in our life which get us down, and to try to bring the sense of calmness from our practise into everything we do.
