Yoga for Strength

"The structure is extremely strong."
"She is a strong woman."
"The powerful automobile revved its engine."
"He is a powerful leader."

To gain an understanding of your relationship with strength, read the quotes above. How do they make you feel? Is there a sense of rigidity or understanding? Do you find stagnation or freedom? Do you experience a feeling of fear or peace? Contempt or love?

If you found the former of these options to ring the most true, then you might find it difficult to add strength to your body and mind until you shift your mindset.

True strength and power lead to understanding, freedom, love, and peace.
Weakness breeds fear, contempt, stagnation, and rigidity.
Awareness is the first step to change. If you have a healthy relationship with the idea of being powerful, then the benefits and work involved to invigorate your body (and thus your mind) may come easier.
As with all things, we must consider not overdoing and finding balance.
"The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination."
- Maya Angelou

Namaste,
