5 Steps to Permanently Clear your Acne

March 2, 2014 By Milen Gala

I didn’t break out much as a teenager, but as long as I can remember I always had periodic mild to moderate acne breakouts (often at the worst times!) as an adult. We are all taught that acne is something that happens to teenagers, but the truth is that many adults struggle with acne as well. For years I used face washes, lotions, and creams to try and combat these little bad boys that would pop up on my face, back and shoulders. Sometimes my skin would completely clear up but the result was short lived and acne would always invariably resurface days or even weeks later. This cycle went on for years and years, to the point where I was using acne face washes daily just to prevent the reoccurrence of breakouts, until I “accidentally” stumbled upon a solution…

“Yoga is not about self-improvement, it’s about self-acceptance.”~ G K Khalsa

I came across this article and read and re-read it several times. Feeling compelled to share it with all of you, I’ve copied it  in it’s entirety below… I’ve been practicing yoga for over a decade now and have learned over time that yoga is something that can both heal and harm, depending on how you approach it. The rewards of yoga are immense if you practice correctly. It will build a tremendous amount of strength in your body, it will increase your flexibility and work to prevent injury over the course of your lifetime. But, in order to practice safely we must learn to drop our ego, clear our mind, breathe, and feel though the asana.
