The New Yoga?
I found a great article today on the Yoga Journal, likening knitting to yoga: Stitched Together.
The information in the article is very helpful if you want to bring a more natural, eco-friendly feel to your knitting, providing links to plenty of resources for this.
What I particularly like, though, is the discussion of how knitting is beneficial to mind, body and soul. I think this is something that non-knitters and those who have been away from the craft for a significant period are not aware of.
While knitting is something that can become second nature after a while, it is something that requires a part of you to be present it. If I’m feeling stressed or anxious about something, knitting is something I can really lose myself in. I can sit and focus on that directly to quiet my mind.
Who knows, maybe we’ll see needles and yarn wrapped up in all those yoga mats!
