Yoga gradually, slowly, carefully changed my life. 8 years ago it all started with physical exercises and so it lasted 4 years, then I began to study more in-depth yoga, one of the yoga instructors MOYU Irina Ernest invited me to attend in-depth yoga classes. There I already got acquainted with mantra and pranayama yoga. Well, after 6 years of my yoga path, I entered MOYU, perhaps I would not even think about it, but Irina inspired me to take this serious step. Still, 4 years of study is a considerable period and it was necessary to understand whether I could allocate time for studying. But in my life, there have been changes also during these 8 years, from the head of the department, who is always working and is in constant stress, I, gradually relying on new knowledge and trusting the Universe, became a freelancer. Yoga and understanding of the principles of the world order, that you can rely not only on yourself, but also on the Universe, have created a miracle in my life. I became much freer, my stress level decreased, and I became much happier. Also, less dependent on the consumer society. After my office life, I counted the number of clothes and was horrified (40 dresses, 15 pairs of different shoes for the season). With horror, I realized that society was dragging me into this endless "black hole" of consumerism, that I tried to please myself with things because I wanted to relieve stress.
Now I have time to do everything: work, study, devote time to my family, travel. These are all positive effects of yoga in my life, because through regular practice, I feel the level of energy (prana) increase. Also, adherence to the fundamental principles of yoga has an incredible effect. I am kinder to people, less judgmental and try not to give advice and not impose my help until people express their will. The second principle of yoga helped me to correctly prioritize, assign tasks and complete them. I feel like a happy and partly free person. Of course, in my life there are moments of pain, weakness, despondency, aggression. But thanks to the newly acquired knowledge, I track them, analyze the nature of their occurrence and try to apply tools and techniques to reduce their effect and prevent their occurrence altogether. Also, the second principle of yoga helped me realize that my circle of communication is too extensive and sometimes I waste time on idle chatter and idle time, so some of them easily left my life. Yoga for me has an applied character, now everything in my life is yoga - a system of self-exploration. I know myself more deeply, I begin to understand more deeply the principles of the world order of the Universe, the interconnection and mutual influence of the inner and outer worlds.
Thanks to the creator of MOYU, as well as to all the teachers who give me knowledge, transfer their experience, skills and abilities. I am happy that good karma allowed me to join the circle of like-minded people of MOYU.
