The True Definition of an Advanced Yoga Practice
While many assume that being “advanced” means being able to do the most challenging yoga poses, the truth is that being advanced in your yoga practice means being able to harness the mind and honor the body.
Becoming strong in the body creates strength in the mind. When we make a mind and body connection, we disconnect from the outside chatter and distractions of daily life. We truly step into the present moment and into a state of connection between mind and body. Here, we can achieve a single-pointed focus and practice meditation in motion.
Especially in today’s modern world, it can be difficult to stay present. This is challenging! And a more challenging physical asana (yoga pose) practice helps push us mentally and physically, which in turns helps keep us more anchored in the here and now.
Another key ingredient in this practice is the breath. Conscious, controlled breathing regardless of how challenging the yoga pose is, is the first mark of an “advanced” practice. This deliberate breath work practice is at the root of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. It is that powerful.
The truth is that being advanced in your yoga practice means being able to harness the mind and honor the body.
Conscious breathwork (often called Pranayama in yoga) can be challenging, especially when you’re first starting off. Incorporating pranayama into your physical yoga practice is powerful. If you find it challenging, stick with it! Know that it becomes more accessible with practice, and that it is also a valuable tool for your yoga and meditation practice.
An advanced Vinyasa Yoga practice is meant to be challenging, physically and mentally! By doing something that challenges and pushes you, you learn to be brave on the mat. When we can first become brave and do new things on the mat, we then become more brave and inclined to try new things off the mat.
Just remember to keep it safe, make adjustments that fit your individual needs, listen to your body, and always take breaks if you need them. Enjoy!
