We can use yoga to break old habits and remove unwanted emotional patterns by unifying the mind and body through new, unique experiences. We can also develop bad habits in our yoga practice as our body tries to take shortcuts or we don't have access to the right guidance. Yoga Adjustments isn't a definitive guide to debunking old habits, but it will have a positive impact.

Yoga is one of the most effective ways to balance each chakra because it creates alignment in the physical body. Balancing and stabilising your physical body through yoga practice also rebalances your mind; this realigns the chakras, which regulate specific behaviours, and makes it easier to overcome outdated patterns, beliefs, and habits. When we get grounded with our chakras, we start realising our full potential.

For most yoga practitioners, concentration is a goal, or at least it helps. We do our best to manage distractions when they arise, yet often find them managing us instead. One way of handling distractions is to let them pass without giving them new energy. In the process, our concentration is naturally strengthened. It sustains us when we pull ourselves away from distractions, which often means putting our devices on silent, turning off screens, telling people not to disturb us or anything else that works for us.

Yoga translates to "yoke" or "union", as in integrating all of the parts of you together. Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength. As we develop our practice, our bodies and minds become healthier, we tend to surround ourselves in a supportive community, and research is starting to prove that we live longer.
