Wikipedia defines Motivation as the activation or energization of goal-orientated behavior. Motivation is said to be intrinsic and extrinsic. The term is generally used to describe human motivation. According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in the basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as altruism, selfishness, morality, or avoiding mortality.
Can you remember the last time you did yoga? How did you feel before your practice? How did you feel during your practice? How did you feel after?
It is easy to get side-tracked from something we love so much. Our lives are hectic an when they are, it is so important to stay grounded in things that bring about and cultivate peace and harmony within ourselves. What is interesting is that when life does happen, we often let go of those things that bring us joy. Do you ever regret going to a yoga class? Have you ever said, "I should have stayed and worked longer?" Most of us find yoga a much to look forward to release, so why then do we let something so precious go by the wayside?
Our yoga community is here and available because of one simple reason: your self-motivation. The studio's teachers' passions would be unrealized and this yoga community would vanish. What motivates you to come practice? Let's be honest and say savasana, those last 10-15 minutes of bliss created during practice; a small slice of heaven, the calm in our storm.
The bottom line?
If it were not for you, this studio would cease to exist. Keep us
around. Stay motivated and come to your mat.....you'll never regret it.
Namaste,Trish
