The Yoga Guy and Origami

You have stretched and you have strained.

As your body develops into a stronger and more flexible machine, what of your mind? Are you more self aware? Are you more creative?

Yoga works on the 'inside' as well as the 'outside'.

That's why I wanted to talk up Simple Origami.

My friend Chris has written that "The art of origami helps you balance your physical and mental relationship."

You might already know that your left side of your body is controlled by the right hand side of your brain and vice versa. Each side of your brain is responsible for different tasks that your body does.

This is relevant because when you apply yourself to following an origami design, using folds and creases to construct that pattern you use both sides of your brain! As you focus on solving the design by folding your square piece of paper. You are channeling your energy in to that mini project and being consumed with a desire to complete the simple origami pattern.

Let me direct you to Chris' website. He spells out the Simple Origami thing really well here.

It's going to appear on the Yoga for Men lens, here.
