How did yoga and meditation help you personally?

kanthtx · May 5, 2014

Hi All -
I have been practicing yoga and meditation for the past 6 months and have seen a good change in my health.

Just wanted to find out
- how many of you out there in this forum are yoga and meditation practitioners?
- if you are one, can you share your experience on how this helped you?
- do you practice a specific style of yoga (iyengar or bikram or something else on your own....)?
- how often do you do it?
- did you tweak yoga to your body or did you follow the routine you learnt in the class?
- were there any negative experiences (I hope not) with yoga and meditation?

Hope to learn some positive experiences....

hi
I was a regular yoga practioner once upon a time, teached yoga too to friends and helped them fix their health problem . But due to some health problems now i am not doing yoga and pranayama now a days. But i found immense peace and my weight and tummy also reduced while i was practicing yoga.

I was doing regular yoga and prayanayama before, now atleast 3 times a week. The benefits I see is when I do yoga and pranayama in the morning, I feel energetic through out the day. I feel enthusiastic in my day, more balanced mentally and more confident in handling the things. I feel my posture is also very good, taking out extra fat and toning the muscles.
( the day I dont do yoga, will get tired by mid day itself, more lazy).
