Practicing Yoga will help you to calm your mind. The ancient text of Patanjali Yoga Sutra verse 1.2.

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras 2.46: Sthira Sukham Asanam is defined as how the posture for meditation should be "steady, stable, and comfortable".​​​​​​​​​ We can experience these two states - sthira and sukha on multiple levels - physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual. Let us remember that we are always moving between them (sthira and sukha) - not only on our mats, but through the ebb and flow of our daily lives. #yogaseeds #yoga #yogasutras #patanjali #meditation

Now, the teaching of Yoga begins​​​​​​​​​ “Atha” is a powerful and auspicious word in Sanskrit. It simply means “Now”, and calls all our focus and attention to the present. “Anushasanam” refers to being taught by nature, and by life. This sutra is an invitation to live a deeply examined life. Journal prompts for you - How can you live in the present? - What are some new beginnings happening for you right now? - What has your yoga practice taught you?
