The physical and mental benefits of Yoga are well known. But, is there a way to make all those Surya Namaskars and Trikonasanas more effective? Yes, by engaging all our senses and making yoga an immersive experience. In ancient Hindu scriptures, each sensory organ is governed by a presiding deity responsible for the optimum function of that organ. Here are some small changes you can make to get more out of your yoga routine...
SMELL
Our sense of smell has the ability to transport us. Perfume can take us to a field of jasmine flowers and the scent of wet earth can make us crave a hot cup of coffee. Make your yoga practice equally fragrant by lighting some special incense or candle before your practice. You can make it a ritual - take deep breaths and luxuriate in the fragrance. Say your affirmations or do your visualization activities during this time. Continue taking deep breaths, letting the scent of the candle gently wake up your entire body and set you in the right mood.
