How To Set Your Intention vs Attention At Your Yoga Class For Your Overall Well Being

Setting your intention vs attention at yoga class

In the yoga fitness world, "yoga" means the connection of the mind and the body.

A male yoga practitioner is called a "yogi".

A female yoga practitioner is called a "yogini".

Yoga was once introduced as an exercise in India for children/ kids to be able to calm down so they can do their homework after school.

Yoga is a form of physical and mental exercise that you can do on a yoga mat, through different asana/ postures or form of meditation.

You can practice yoga at home or at a yoga studio. Personally, I prefer to practice at the yoga studio where I could feel connected with others at the yoga community. However, you can seek a very personal existential yoga journey when you practice yoga alone at your home. It's a perfect opportunity of self-reflection while you seek a sense of serenity and enlightenment. 

Intention vs. Attention

Intention:

At yoga classes, you have probably heard of your yoga teachers asking you to set your intention at the beginning and at the end of your classes. It could be a few words or a person that you dedicate this yoga practice to. It could be words like gratitude, or letting go of the past/ trauma/ drama/ a ruthless/ toxic person that are detrimental for your being. You get over these bad things in life through exercising and learn to let go and move pass all the challenges and mental blockade that you may experience every step of the way. Don't forget to breath through all the obstacles, but the key is know when you hit the edge and when to stop and not overextend yourself.

Attention: 

Attention means to set your attention/ focus onto what you determine to achieve during this yoga practice. Let go of thoughts that no longer serve you or any thoughts that can distract you from what you are trying to achieve in class. Notice that nothing is life is ever really permanent and it's important to recognize the impermanence of life. It's about decluttering and constantly editing things and thoughts and practice non-attachment to things, people, or the outcomes of events. That way, you can reduce anxiety and depression that you may feel from the chaos that life may bring. Here is an interesting video about "greed" that illustrates part of this idea.
