How does heart opening yoga poses cultivate gratitude.

💚 The physical opening of the chest makes it easier to be emotionally receptive. By moving into poses that encourage vulnerability, you become more open to feeling and expressing gratitude for your life and the people in it.

Connection to your breath while holding these poses, focusing on deep breathing can help calm the mind and anchor your awareness. This can lead to a deeper sense of connection with yourself and a greater appreciation for the sensations in your body, breath and awareness to stillness.

💚 Opening the heart space energetically supports qualities like compassion, kindness, and generosity. These qualities are intrinsically linked to gratitude and help to broaden your perspective to include others.

How does heart-opening yoga poses cultivate gratitude?

💚 Poses that physically stretch the chest and shoulders helps to release tension stored in the heart area.

💚 This physical release corresponds to an emotional release, helping to soften emotions and create space for positivity.

💚 Heart-opening poses are said to activate the Anahata chakra or heart chakra and activating this energy center helps to bring about feelings of love, compassion, and gratitude.

FIND YOUR BALANCE

Your balance isn't controlled by a single muscle or system – it's an incredibly sophisticated network working behind the scenes every moment of every day.
There are 3️⃣ key systems that collaborate to keep you upright and stable:

1️⃣ Your VISUAL System acts like a GPS, constantly scanning your environment for obstacles, changes in terrain, and spatial references.

2️⃣ Your VESTIBULAR System in your inner ear is like a built-in level, detecting changes in head position and movement. This system tells you whether you're moving forward, backward, or tilting to one side.

3️⃣ Your PROPRIOCEPTIVE System consists of sensors throughout your muscles, joints, and tendons that provide constant feedback about where your body is in space.

A balance from this week's class, Walk the Line, is a perfect pose to get all these systems working.
Moving forward and backwards along the edge of your mat, holding and using your gaze or make it bit more challenging by closing the eyes.

FIND YOUR BALANCE means PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.

Learning better balance is like learning anything—we have to be in the process long enough to benefit.

In yoga, this means choosing options that meet and gently stretch our current capability.

So if lifting the foot to the inner thigh in tree pose means immediately falling out of the pose, it might be more helpful to keep the toes of the lifted foot on the floor or the fingertips of one hand on a wall for a little extra support if that allows us to remain in the pose longer.

It’s when we stay somewhere slightly unstable that our muscles and our nervous system learn to compensate, creating inner equilibrium that enables us to handle more challenge next time.

Want to improve your balance, GO BARE FEET.

🦶 Practicing yoga barefoot is important because it improves balance, strengthens feet and ankles, enhances body awareness, and promotes a deeper connection to the mat and ground.

🦶 Going barefoot allows the thousands of nerve endings in the feet to send more information to the brain, which improves proprioception and stability.

🦶 It also enables the full range of motion for toes and arches, helping to reduce foot tension and increase flexibility.

🪥 One way to help to practice balancing everyday is to incorporate a single-leg balance into your daily brushing routine.

🪥 Using a daily habit to make another habit.

🪥 Doing this can significantly improve your stability, improving core strength, balance, and strengthens the muscles in your legs and feet.

🪥 By standing on one leg while brushing your teeth, you engage your stabilizing muscles, which can help prevent falls and improve proprioception. This is especially beneficial as you age or if you’re recovering from an injury.

Can Yoga Help Build Balance?

Yes it Can!

The core strength, body awareness and upper and lower body integration you get from doing yoga regularly, will improve your balance.
