瑜珈式子練習的訣竅

Tuned in to the practice. Clear the mind, synchronize the breath with the movements and connect to the experience. Concentrate at the moment instead of allowing the mind wanders is rewarding to our practice as well as our lives.

專注及小心於練習中。不要想其他東西，把過去的或將來的事情放下，集中注意力於現在，呼吸是保持思緒平靜清淅的最好工具，將呼吸及動作配合一致是最有效的方法。掌握現在，孕育將來，亦是我們人生的練習。

Be patient. Focus on one thing at a time, breathe deeply and move slowly. Develop a positive attitude, we begin from simple things and don't force things to happen. Slowness does not equal to sloppiness; instead, we are working with great care, attention to details, being stress-free and connected to the practice. We will do gentle practice but it doesn't mean we won't have much fun.

要有耐性及輕鬆的心情。在做式子時，不可急進，要按步進入，保持慢及深長的呼吸。留意每一細節，身體的感覺，不要太馬虎，亦不要太免强。在輕鬆的練習中你將會找到趣味無窮。

Find comfort in discomfort poses. Surrender to the practice and soften the mind, let the breath guide us and ease the muscular pain. Our body may not be flexible or strong enough at the beginning, but as our mind opens and we do a well-rounded practice regularly, the body will gain more freedom as well as the mind.

在不舒適中找尋自在。在有難度的動作裏，例如青蛙式(打開髖關節的式子)，常會覺強烈不適，但這些不適是好的，它使我們成長及進步。要克服這不適，只要放鬆心情，由呼吸帶領放開繃緊的肌肉，給予關節多點空間，就能感到自在。

Learn to control the body. All poses develop stability and the control of physical movement, we learn how to cultivate and work with core strength, and how to keep a balance between prana and apana (subtle energy flowing up and down within the body). The practice allows us to discover the stillness that lies deep within us and experience the joy of freedom.

建立力量及控制身體。所有式子都需要身體的力量及穩定性(例如前彎及後彎的動作)，要達到效果，要把能量多集中於身體中心，配合呼吸的平衝，使身心進入靜止，就能體會隨心的喜悅。

Make the practice part of your life. As the journey flourishes, one will realize that yoga is so much more than just doing poses gracefully on the mat. The life we carry on, the mindset we hold, our relationship with others are all practices of yoga. They turn our attention inwards, help to find the spark of divinity within ourselves, enable us to live up to it. When we begin practicing yoga off the mat, yoga becomes our lives.

把瑜珈成為生活。當你練習式子一段時間後，就會發現瑜珈不單止是肢體的運動，它是一種生活方式，思想的態度。透過練習，使我們更了解自己的內在，幫我們發掘內在的自信、美麗、智慧、力量、及創造力。更重要的，它是心靈的練習。
