Yoga is a training of the body and mind to become fully
aware of every part of ourselves physically and mentally, connecting us to our
inner self. If we us this in our walking then the walking also becomes a meditative state, where one walks with
full awareness and mindfulness.
So during the walk all the senses are active. Seeing the
beauty around us. Hearing the sounds of nature, smelling what the season has to
over us from scented flowers, to an ocean breeze to autumn leaves. Feeling the
energy around us, in us and how it is all interconnected. Focusing on our
breath, bringing the awareness of breathing into our walking, focusing on our
senses, our breath, calming the mind, body and the being.
During the detox we do not only detoxify the body, but also
the mind. Yoga aids in this as it teaches us how to connect with our breath,
calming us, focusing, concentrating, thus letting go of the worries of the
mind.
The physical part of both Yoga & Walking are great attributes to
detoxify the body further, as Yoga twists, upends and squeezes every part of
our body releasing any toxins. Walking is a great aid in losing any excess
weight, so the body can feel in optimum form again.
Walking in nature brings us peace of mind, connecting us with
the beauty around us, feeling the energy flow between us. Connecting back to
our roots and inner self.
