Welcome! Happy Holidays, it has been several weeks from my last blog entry. I thought it was well past time to check in and bring some awareness to yoga practice. I have taken from my meditation the whole concept of slowing down. It was the one thing that really stuck out for me these last few weeks. So I took this into my Asana practice and spend longer on each pose and do less. Trying to feel exactly where I am in it on any given day. Which translates back to own life very well. Where am I in any given moment? I am connected and aware to what is going on around me?
I also took the time to break down what I felt I wanted to do for the holidays, I made a short list for each day and then let go of the rest. And it was wonderful to look at my calendar day to day do what I needed to do and then move on and not worry about the rest. It was much more peaceful and it felt calm.
I am doing a restorative practice for the next 7 days to allow myself to rest and recoup!
I was so pleased for the reminder in class on Wednesday from Laura that this is the perfect time of year to focus on restoratives and refresh ourselves for the New Year.
So to everyone out there, if you have not slowed down to enjoy the season, it isn't too late.
Enjoy the holidays, best luck and wishes to all in the New Year!!
