mindfulness and yoga

its a funny old winters day, the suns out, the sky has gone from blue to grey. its raining one minute sunny the next the wind is chilly so we spent the day indoors  with the  curtains drawn and the heater on, all snug and warm beautiful !
doing this mindfulness CD has made me appreciate everything a lot more and notice the little things in life.
I am wondering if mindfulness and yoga are one and the same  it will be interesting to see .
the mindfulness CD made my mind blank, I felt nothing but peace, I actually went into a state  of deep relaxation .
but with my yoga DVD I felt calm and refreshed  and would stay like that for the whole day I have also found yoga has given me mental strength  as well as physical strength, and so much energy I mistakenly  decided  to do my yoga workout at night . I had so much energy! I cleaned the  house and still was not tired and wanted to do more !. never again I am afraid definitely a lesson learnt !
meditation , hatha yoga and mindfulness are all looking for the same thing all trying to get some relaxation  and inner peace  they are all different  to each other but all get  you to reach the same  goal....... self enlightenment .
and obviously  hatha yoga helps with flexibility and grace .



Namaste .
