Incorporate yoga as a lifestyle

Yoga is an ancient philosophy that has increased in popularity in Spain in recent years. However, it is often seen only as a physical activity or isolated exercise.

Yogais much more than that; it's a lifestyle, it's finding a state of fullness and peace with oneself and with others through a transformation that begins during the practice of yoga.

In the words of BKS Iyengar:

"Yoga aims to achieve full awareness in everything you do."

Here you will find how you can make yoga a lifestyle, the benefits and tips that will help you incorporate it into your daily life.

Why is yoga a lifestyle?

Yoga is a constant search; its principles are not an end, a goal or objective, much less a cute and pretty posture.

It is the constant search for happiness and real connection with our inner state of consciousness that depends on everything that has always been within our reach.

In this quest for a higher state of awareness and presence, we can experience a greater sense of fulfillment and love with what is within our reach today, with who we are in this moment, and with what lies before us. This is known as Karma Yoga, the practice of applying yoga to every aspect of your lifestyle.

Yoga reveals to us that nothing is separate from the Whole.

Obviously, practicing yoga for just one day isn't going to change our lives ; transformation is a process , and yoga needs time to mature and truly win us over. The first and most important thing is wanting to begin, and from there, realizing that you're already on the path— the constant and comforting path of self-knowledge, self-observation, and lifelong learning.

You'll gradually begin to notice how poorly we tend to sit, how little attention we pay to our breathing, how difficult it is to relax, and so on. And so, abhyasa yoga will show you and illuminate important aspects as you begin this way of life.

Keep in mind that each asana has a higher purpose, and they are much more than simple postures. Practicing them mindfully will lead to significant changes in a short time.

Yoga as a philosophy of life.

Let us remember that this discipline has endured for millennia and has transformed millions of lives throughout history. Strengthening our understanding of this discipline is a significant step toward transformation.

This does not mean that you suddenly become a different person, but rather that you are the same person evolving through mercy, patience, and discipline.

Why do I say this? Because demanding and failing to listen to our own limits (both physical and mental) are completely opposed to this transformation.

Yoga adapts to each of us, to each moment we are going through, to each movement or leap we need to take, to each entry, stay and exit.

By incorporating the practice consistently and consciously, each posture, each breath, and each moment of silence becomes an opportunity for self-discovery. A high-quality, non-slip yoga mat, like those from Namastecita, not only provides safety and comfort but also creates a sacred space of your own in which to cultivate your daily practice. In this way, yoga ceases to be just exercise and transforms into a path of well-being, balance, and presence in every aspect of your life.

My practical advice:

How to incorporate yoga as a lifestyle?

I'll give you some tips that, from my personal experience, have helped me.

• Don't overdo it from the start:

  If you've never done yoga before, you should start with a simple beginner routine. You can visit our ambassadors ' pages where you'll find routines and online classes for all levels.

• Dedicate 5 minutes a day to breathing:

  Proper breath control helps improve technique and promotes greater well-being. Integrating breathing exercises into your daily life, simply by focusing on your inhalation and exhalation for 3 to 5 minutes upon waking, before a meeting, or to relax before bed, is a great way to do this.

• Set a schedule for your practice:

  This is the way; little by little you will develop a habit and discipline, reduce mental stress, and increase consistency.

• Prepare your "yoga space":

  This moment is for you, so find a place that feels comfortable. It can be inside your home or outdoors. Make that space comfortable and pleasant.

• Bring yoga to your diet:

  Yoga as a lifestyle isn't just about practice; it should also extend to your diet, promoting a mindful way of living. Incorporating more natural, lighter foods that provide more energy will contribute to greater self-awareness.

• Buy an eco-friendly yoga mat:

  At Namastecita, we are committed to environmental responsibility. That's why our mats are plastic-free, PVC-free, and biodegradable. You can learn more about our Climate Commitment here.
