Beyond the mere physical benefits, the style of yoga I've chosen serves me well because...
I've been able to achieve deeper concentration, having space to deal with the difficulties in my practice, face challenges and resolve physical and emotional issues (or at least become aware of them), notice the patterns of thoughts, behaviour, catch myself getting distracted, getting competitive.
Being able to work with a close attention on the breath. Getting a feel of the energy movements and the more subtle aspects of the practice.
