Yoga, The Pause that Refreshes
by Christel Autuori, RDH, RYT
Life is challenging in this twenty first century. We multitask and are on call, 24/7, tied to our computers, cell phones, and palm pilots. We are on the run constantly, having learned that doing is more valuable and productive than merely being, and that making the most of life means doing as many things as possible all at the same time. We are trying to do it all and have it all, but we find ourselves increasingly tense, disillusioned, disconnected, frustrated, and exhausted. The tension and stress gets stuck in the body, with negative effects, and contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, insomnia, anxiety, hypertension, headaches, and ulcers. We know this is not good for us, and that we need to slow down, but have no clue how to do it--or how to find the time for it!!
