But yoga is much more than that. Yoga is originally practiced according to the eightfold path with the aim of achieving &#8216;enlightenment. This eightfold path is described by Patanjali in an important ancient scripture, the Yoga Sutras. The path includes:<\/p><ul><li>personal discipline<\/li><li>breathing exercises<\/li><li>physical exercises<\/li><li>meditation<\/li><li>concentration<\/li><li>a number of commandments including non-violence<\/li><\/ul><p>And you really don&#8217;t have to walk the whole eightfold path to benefit from yoga. But you can see yoga as a way to achieve a lighter life.<\/p><p>Practicing yoga regularly makes your body more flexible and your mind can become calmer. In general, you become more aware of what you feel, who you are, and how you react, especially in everyday life. There are different types of yoga, so there is bound to be something that suits you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1744247 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1744247\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">And what is mindfulness then?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a292f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3a292f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The &#8216;founder&#8217; of mindfulness as we know it, especially in the West, is Jon Kabat Zinn.
