Reminder for anyone that needs it... life can be extremely challenging s**t and stressful but it's how you learn to overcome the challenges turn the s**t days into less s**ter days and breathe through the stress..

This quote i absolutely love ✨️
"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them". Walt Disney.

Never give up, keep going, don't let anyone tell you its just a dream, "You got a dream... You gotta protect it." The Pursuit of Happyness, you have the power to do anything you want you just need to keep going make it happen, ✨️

Yoga teaches us to be patient to manage our feelings in a way that helps us cope in every situation in our lives,

For me "personally" the one benefit of yoga that no other form of physical activity could ever provide is the connection to self awareness self acceptance and self love because yoga isn't just movements or that burst of endorphin rush, it's a mindfulness practice..

THE MISCONCEPTIONS
Yoga can give you the physical workout you may want, but go deeper and you'll realize it's so much more. The practice of yoga is about creating a connection, to ourselves, to our bodies, to our minds, to our lives.

Keep going never give up ☯️☮️💜

Studies show that yoga can improve our mental health, with research indicating it can significantly reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and improve sleep.

Studies have shown yoga helps by increasing the brain's gamma-aminobutyric acid (Gaba), a neurotransmitter that slows brain activity and reduces anxiety, and by incorporating movement, breathing, and mindfulness to improve overall mood.

The Bhagavad Gita describes yoga as a journey of the self. "Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self" # ...

Physical postures (asanas) are only one component of yoga practice, breath control (pranayama) is also yoga which helps, mental focus, and the union of mind, body, and spirit. Conscious breathing is crucial for calming the mind, connecting body and mind, and transforming the practice from simple calisthenics into a deeper journey of awareness, stillness, and inner wisdom.

Dive deep into our Connective tissue. All our organs contain some form of connective tissue, which act like a scaffold or glue to hold them together.

Connective tissue also stores fat helping move nutrients, waste salts and other substances between tissues and organs, and helps repair damaged tissue.

Long hold stretches enhances our range of motion helping with mobility and the most obvious one is flexibility holding a stretch for longer period of time will over time and with consistency and daily practice significantly improve flexibility.

Improves posture over time lengthening and releasing tension in tight muscles, increasing your body's range of motion, and restoring muscle balance, allowing you to stand and sit with proper alignment.

Encourages mindfulness grounding you in the present moment through a focus on breath and sensations in the body, fostering a calming mind-body connection that reduces stress and anxiety.

Reducing how much you care about others opinions through yoga is a positive step towards greater self-empowerment and mental health. It's not about becoming selfish, but rather about finding a healthy balance and prioritizing your own journey and needs.

How can yoga achieve this level of self awareness and self acceptance
♡Reduces external pressure:
The practice of mindfulness & meditation in yoga encourages us to internalize our focus rather than constantly seeking external approval.
♡Promotes self-compassion:
By nurturing a sense of inner security and self-love, yoga helps individuals become less susceptible to the need for constant validation from others.
♡Builds a strong sense of self:
Cultivates an awareness of your feelings, thoughts, and needs, which strengthens the sense of self and reduces reliance on external opinions
♡Releases stored emotions
Yoga can bring deep-seated emotions and even trauma to the surface, allowing for their release and leading to emotional healing and a greater sense of freedom from others' judgments.

This is to remind you to focus on yourself your own dreams and goals to become a happier healthier you ✨️☮️☯️💜

Our focus for October deep stretching longer holds relaxation 😌
♡Improve flexibility
♡Improve muscle strength
♡Improve muscle fatigue
♡Improve circulation
♡Improved joint and bone health

When practising yoga, muscle strength is essential for both posture alignment and functional movement. While dynamic movement (transitioning in and out of poses) undoubtedly helps to build strength through action and engagement, holding a posture for extended periods can challenge muscles in a different way.

♡Promoting myofibrillar hypertrophy, which contributes to long-term strength development.

♡Improve muscle endurance and stability

♡Going deeper into our fascia and connective tissues, in yoga, fascia becomes more pliable when consistently stretched, which helps to enhance flexibility and range of motion.

♡Helping your muscles stay stronger for longer preventing muscle fatigue, holding poses longer helps the body adapt to fatigue, increasing the ability to maintain strength and stability under pressure.

♡The hardest one of all
Mind body connection improving wellbeing, holding a yoga pose for an extended period of time requires focus, patience, and the ability to stay present with your breath.
