The state of communication in the modern world is interesting and unusual. While technology allows us to reach one another whenever and wherever we want, there still seems to be something lacking in many of our close personal relationships. But Dylan Celli believes that yoga may offer a powerful solution.
In another ironic twist, yoga is often considered something that’s intended to be “me time,” even when practiced in large groups.
But while it is a great time to turn inward and allow yourself some space to exist, yoga can also be a time when you branch outside yourself and create some meaningful relationships with your fellow yogis. If this sounds like something that interests you, read on to learn more.
Coming Together
It’s pretty easy today to go through your everyday life without coming into contact with another soul. You can work from home, shop online, order dinner from an app, entertain yourself with endless streaming services, and never even journey further than your front porch to do it.
While this lifestyle definitely has its advantages, it’s sorely lacking in one department: human connection.
But if you join a yoga session, you’re suddenly surrounded by all different kinds of people with whom you share a mutual interest. The best part is that the interest you share is one that promotes kindness, mindfulness, acceptance, and love. It’s a perfect recipe for making a strong connection.
Recognizing Connections
Yoga asks you to look within, which can seem like a solitary journey. However, one of the things that yoga asks you to find within is the realization that you and everyone else are all part of the same collective whole. That oneness is not only key to excelling on the yoga mat; it’s vital for connecting and empathizing with other people.
After your yoga session has finished, and you’ve just spent an extended period of time breathing and moving in rhythm with an entire group of people, it’s typically easier to sense that oneness than during any other time. That’s why yoga is a great place to recognize your connection to others and make a connection with those around you.
Developing Self-Esteem
One of the greatest hindrances to creating lasting friendships is a lack of self-esteem. If you don’t feel worthy of close connection, well, then the world will only agree with you. But you are worthy of close connection, and yoga can help you develop the sense of self-confidence that can help you realize that.
Working hard to get better at something is a powerful tool for self-esteem building. Once you’ve done it with yoga, look around after your next session and try to be vulnerable and open enough to connect with a neighbor.
