Yoga supports mental resilience. When you're mentally resilient, you're better able to think clearly and make sound decisions. You also stay motivated and focused on your goals.

Place your feet among the stars and let your mind be full. Salamba Sirsasana stimulates the pineal gland. “A country cannot prevail with a good king or leader, so it is with the body. The body cannot prevail without a healthy “head” mind/brain.” — Bhagavad Gita #blackyogi #yoga

Conscious breathing aka “tapping into” your breath! Lowers blood pressure, cleans the blood, and adds clarity to the moment. Peace, love, and light 🧘🏾‍♂️❤️. #blackyogi #yoga #yogi #blackyogis #blackyoga #yogapractice #blackgirlyoga #blackyogateacher #yogainspiration

There are a lot of great sages in yoga history. By far one of my favorites is Paramahansa Yogananda. He was such a student of life and a brilliant scholar. He often explores the depths of Christ Consciousness. #yogareads #BrandNew #youtoo

We have to put our study, and skill into action. The work may take a lifetime or lifetimes. But being consistent helps burn the karma away. #blackyogi #blackyogis #blackyoga #blackyogateacher #yogainspiration #meditation #blackgirlmagic #blackmendoyoga #yogisofcolor

“Yoga researchers have found evidence that yoga not only originated in India but also has roots in Africa, particularly Egypt. Yoga was created by brown and black people as a tool for spiritual growth, as a way to integrate the spiritual with physical experience.” — @YI_Mag

Why we practice and offer kundalini yoga. Kundalini yoga is scientifically proven to reduce anxiety for adults with general anxiety disorder. Although results show that CBT (Cognitive Based Therapy) is still the primary defense. @uchangenow @DoveSoars #anxiety #Mentalhealth

Yoga Sutras state that “Victory over powers of Darkness and Ignorance, make man one with God.” We have to confront our inner demons. Shadow work is equally as important as Lightwork. Let’s put in that work! #blackyogis @BlackYogis @thelawyeryogi

Yoga as an integrated practice can shift the locus of control from external to internal. Cultivate more influence and control over your life. #wisdomwednesday #wisdomwednesdays #blackyogis #afroyoga #yogalife #yogalifestyle #menofyoga #blackyogisandyoginis #brothersdoingyoga

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika or "Light on Yoga" written by Swami Svātmārāma in the 15th Century. The Hatha Yoga Pradipika is among the most influential surviving texts on haṭha yoga. His 6 tenets for success in yoga still hold true today. #blackmenmeditate

Cognitive research shows that meditation increases dopamine levels in the ventral striatum. Dopamine is the “happiness hormone.” The Ventral Striatum is the area of the brain that coordinates cognition, planning, motivation, and reward perception. Make meditation a daily habit.
