In collaboration with The Sip by Divya and Khushboo, today we get candid about how Yoga and Tea contribute to a healthier lifestyle. For all the tea lovers, sipping tea not only generates happiness but also the good feeling of seizing the moment.
Each day, every day, we are moving towards being more productive in every part of our lives and we validate the results and ourselves based on what we see in front of our eyes. What if I asked you to pause and analyze the progress you are making internally? If you’d truly acknowledge that every action you take towards your mind and body, every intake you have for them, plays a huge role in the world inside you.
And here we bring together two such important elements that raise the bar of healthy living much higher – YOGA and TEA.
Yoga has been known to heal the mind and body from within and is a fuel to the soul. We can feel the freshness in every breath we take and the healthiness of every cell in our body. Similarly, the practice of drinking tea dates back to thousands of years and has been known to hydrate the body, cure ailments and relax the mind. True teas such as green tea, white tea, oolong tea, pu-erh tea, and black tea definitely work incredibly well on the taste buds and also have tremendous health benefits that enhance the healthy lifestyle quotient.
Divya, proud founder at The Sip, expresses the correlation between Yoga and Tea:
“Sky above, sand below, rolling waves, rising sun. Peace Within. A perfect sought after place for meditation.
The world around us moves very fast and to make life worth living, we all need to keep up with the speed. A healthy body and the right state of mind are a must to match that pace. For generations yoga has been a symbol of connectivity to us. Similarly, tea too, if made a part of your daily routine can help you to build up a very strong connection with oneself. So, what’s better than combining the two?”
Today I am going to tell you what kind of tea you must have before you practice Yoga.
Fine Black Tea or Oolong Tea is the perfect pick-me-up before you enter the class for an energizing, powerful Yoga session. Caffeinated tea without milk or sugar keeps your energy up as you move fluidly from one asana to another. Oolong Tea has been associated with weight loss, while some studies suggest that some compounds in Oolong Tea can help reduce the risk of heart disease and mitigate high cholesterol. I’m a big fan of the Indian Chai! Although ayurvedically it isn’t the best solution for your health.
What kind of tea you must have after you practice Yoga
Did you know tea is the best post-yoga drink that calms the mind and energizes the body to slay the day? Try having a cup of black tea with a perfect symphony of cinnamon, clove, and cardamom.
When practicing Yoga in the evening,
After an evening Yoga session, a cup of soothing and healing cup of Chamomile Tea with its uplifting exotic floral scent will help relax your tense nerves. Chamomile flowers are known to soothe muscle spasms and contain mood-boosting compounds that will extend your mental high when consumed in the form of tea. This makes it a perfect brew to be enjoyed before bedtime.
I find that the Sip tea is fabulous to calm your nerves, and also to bring you a sense of evenness in your body and mind.
“Circulation is Improved
Yoga gets your blood flowing, but in a more relaxed, healthy way than an intense workout would. Therefore, the antioxidants in green tea are better spread throughout your body after a yoga workout than they would be if you drank a cup of green tea at any other time. Doing this will help to improve your circulation and invigorate your entire body overall.
Stress is Relieved
Yoga helps to alleviate stress and so does green tea. So whatever stress had been built up your body before you did yoga, most should have been flushed out by the end of your session. Whatever remains will most likely be taken care of by the green tea you drink, as it has caffeine, but a more subtle form of caffeine that won’t hype you up like coffee. The meditative buzz that comes from your yoga will only be extended by the caffeine in your cup of green tea.”
What does Yoga and Tea symbolize?
Yoga and tea are based on the holistic approach to self-care. After a yoga session, our body and mind feel calmer and more relaxed. The combination of light to medium body stretching and breathing awareness calms our mind. Practicing yoga at the beginning of the day fills us with positivity, takes our anxiety away and makes us expect anything that this day might bring our way with a strength.
Both yoga and tea are associated with transformation. When we practice yoga, our body becomes more flexible and healthy. We learn discipline, focus, perseverance and concentration in the present moment. This way we lay the foundations for a better future for our body and mind. Tea, on the other hand, is the transformation of the dry leaves into an aromatic beverage that we also prepare and drink at the moment. And we do so not only for a mere enjoyment but also to feel better, healthier and calmer, in harmony with ourselves and the world around us.
