| Yoga’s Magic Ingredient |
| Simple yoga breathing techniques can transformation your emotions very quickly. Soon you will feel grounded, calm and able to think more clearly. Start by befriending your breath. How is your breath right now? Are you breathing? That’s not as crazy as it may seem :). When a lot of thinking is involved or stressful situations arise, we may hold our breath without realising. As few as 3 conscious breaths will change your state of mind.Watch/feel/sense your breath. You may notice: Movement or no movement in your body. Sounds Sensations How would you describe it’s length and quality? If you can manage 3 breaths or a couple of minutes several times a day you will soon have a powerful tool to support your well-being. I’ve felt well but my breath had a different opinion! I continued to take things gently until my breath became for stable. Otherwise I may have pushed through extending my recovery time and feeling miserable! Conscious breathing:Calms a busy mind. Grounds scattered, discombobulated energy Returns you back to the present. Supports clear, rational thinking as the nervous system self-regulates. Simplicity is the key. There’s no need for mudras, techniques, or long holds to feel better. In fact complex techniques, long ratio and holds can overstimulate and exacerbate our dysregulation. We take time in our online yoga classes to befriend our breath with slow, mindful movement and seated techniques ‘pranayama’. Courses run 9th September-9th December. Email Suzan for details. |
