‘WHAT IS MY BODY TRYING TO TELL ME?’

“The yogic principles—a unique combination of self-observation and physical resilience—are known to grant deeper levels of self-attunement.”

“Our body is constantly talking to us. It is designed to give us warning signs before things get worse. This is usually when we should look within, and adjust our lifestyles to prevent those little nudges from turning into full-blown problems.

Some of the common symptoms my clients often come to me with range from muscle aches and gut-related ailments to mental health conditions like anxiety and hypertension—they are all manifestations of a deeper dent in their lifestyle that they wish to improve through the practice of yoga. Amongst its umpteen benefits, my favourite part about yoga is its holism. You may set out to treat the nagging pain in your neck or your ballooning levels of stress, but what you end up achieving is usually much more.
