What is meditation? Does meditation have anything to do with yoga? Is one better than the other?
Let’s answer those questions one at a time:
According to one yoga instructor, “Meditation—generally presented in the three broad categories of concentration, mindfulness, and contemplation—are forms of mind training, operating on the fundamental premise that the mind determines the quality of your life. Meditation is about making friends with yourself, learning to see what is just as it is, and freeing yourself from reactive conditioning.”
Meditation actually merges into yoga classes very easily, given that it’s considered one of 8 limbs of classical yoga; different yoga positions better prepare a person for actual meditation. Combined, yoga and meditation help improve a person’s physical, emotional and spiritual health.
While yoga is extremely popular, not every person who does yoga follows it up with a round of meditation. This video that we’ve included not only provides 10 tips on how to meditate - it also includes these 5 reasons that you should do it.
