With mainstream and corporate yoga increasingly in demand across the US, it’s now easier than ever to learn the basics of doggatoga—and doggatabomii—in order to make your life much more positive. This how-to series will give you an inside scoop about this ancient, mind-body practice from the seasoned yogis who know it best. An exclusive interview with Paul Harrison, owner of the Yoga Studio in downtown San Francisco, reveals the countless ways yoga can change your life for the better.
Disrupt Your Everyday Life with Yoga
“We’re all procrastinators. We often try to rush through life. We’re often in conflict with ourselves and with others. Yoga is a way of sitting with and figuring out who we are and what we really want, and just letting it all out on the mat. It’s really, really different from what you’re used to. No stress. No judgment. No bosses. No strings. Just feeling your heart beating inside your chest every single second of every single day.” — Paul Harrison
Revive Your Body and Mind
“I can’t stress enough how important your mind is to your physical health. We take our mind for granted so much. Whether you’re teaching yoga or coaching young athletes or someone struggling with depression or just when you’re feeling exhausted by life, yoga offers really powerful opportunities to help you understand who you are and create this sense of self that you need. I think that if we’re really going to leave a legacy, this is how we do it.” — Paul Harrison
Create New Energy
“There are certain poses where your mind has to shut down for a period of time. We’re talking about loving-kindness or peace. Those can’t be done easily. You have to let your mind cool down or allow it to cool down and just sit with it. It feels like a meditation technique that takes a while to accomplish. It takes time. You have to get into a space where that’s possible to do.” — Paul Harrison
Stop Negative Thoughts and Feel Your Luck Turn Around
“There’s been some really fascinating research now suggesting the greatest way to get rid of stress and negative emotions is by taking a break from stress. It sounds simple, but it really works. But even when you take a break, you want to make sure you’re in a moment of peace and calm and just letting that person you are open to that possible future. That really is the true key.” — Paul Harrison
