It is a  physical, emotional, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India. To know more about what yoga is all about, my guest, Or Shahar will explain how this method can affect our health positively.    Trip To India   Or Shahar was exposed to yoga as early as 18 years old. She has three older sisters, and one of them convinced her to go to India during her teenage years.  The trip indeed impacted her a lot and proved to be helpful in later years when she battled depression at around 21 years old.    “I had mental health issues, and yoga helped a lot towards the end of my recovery.  Yoga taught me to be stable, but I still questioned life,” recalls Or Shahar. “I questioned how to be happy. I questioned what happiness is.”   Or Shahar’s turning point came four years ago in Berlin when she decided to become a teacher after years of practicing traditional yoga and embracing Buddhism. After a period of getting in touch with her spirituality and understanding the purpose of her existence, Or Shahar eventually built Freedom Yoga with a motto that happiness comes from within.    Hatha Yoga   There are many kinds of yoga and Or Shahar practices Hatha yoga in particular. Or Shahar explains that by definition, Hatha is a physical yoga practice, which is pretty much all yoga you’ll find in this hemisphere.    According to Or Shahar, Hatha is one of the six original branches of yoga, and it encompasses nearly all types of modern yoga. Today, classes described as Hatha on studio schedules are typically a primary and classical approach to yogic breathing exercises and postures.   “All of the styles of yoga are all Hatha yoga. They come from the same source,” said Or Shahar.    Importance of Yoga   People who practice yoga have attested to the fact that the practice allows them to connect to who they are at a deeper level. While most of us seek conventional ways to alleviate suffering, practicing yoga provides another avenue for us to resolve our inner conflicts.    “Yoga has many benefits. It makes us strong and flexible. Based on personal experience, I improved my mental mindset by focusing on the present moment,” said Or Shahar. “Yoga teaches us how to use the body and breath as an anchor. Because if you are breathing right, it affects your body and your body’s sensation.”   Or Shahar adds, “Once you correctly practice yoga, you will eventually develop awareness to the body.  Strengthening that part of you will support you in your everyday life.”   Success Stories   Or Shahar had witnessed and helped a lot of people to heal over the years through yoga. She has helped relieve clients from physical, emotional, spiritual and mental pain, as well as taught them how to continue to stay on track.   She admits that some health conditions are challenging. And although it might not completely eradicate the suffering, yoga eases the pain to a certain point.  Or Shahar helps clients achieve that by incorporating Buddist approaches in her yoga sessions.    “Students undergo a deep process. Eventually, they can use yoga in everyday life. Most students end up feeling empowered,” Or Shahar said. “However, in some cases, yoga is not a cure for health conditions like depression. The best way sometimes is to get a good support system while you are on a recovery path.”   Dealing With Emotional Attachments   Or Shahar explains that as far are emotions are concerned, suppressing it can cause us mental and emotional slavery. Now this, I can relate.   I remember when I first moved to the United States, my father was in the process of moving his factory. Part of that move was my dad storing possessions belonging to me, my mom and my grandparents.    Howev
