Mindfulness on an off your yoga mat

Summer is in a full swing and for most of us that means more time outdoors, enjoying the weather and nature around us. It is a wonderful opportunity to notice the nature around us, rather than to take it for granted. Noticing a great abundance of colours, shapes and texture (flowers, grass, trees, insects, etc.) can be truly satisfying and can give you a real boost of energy. That might be your first step into mindfulness. In the same way we can approach other daily activities, simply re-discovering them for ourselves, noticing sensations they bring without forming any judgment or attachment. Another way in or on the way to mindfulness is through your yoga pratice - giving it your full attention, noticing your strengths and weaknesses without judgment, working within your limitations, trying to approach it with fresh enthusiasm, In return mindfulness will give you satisfaction, contentment, stronger commitment and peace of mind.
