THE TIGER POSE

The tiger pose warms and stretches the back muscles and spine. It strengthens the core body and stimulates the nervous, lymphatic and reproductive systems.
Its variation, the one handed tiger pose, where you lift the opposite arm (right arm, left leg and vice versa) parallel to the ground, is excellent as a balancing and grounding technique.

How to Practice the Tiger Pose:
Go down on your hands and knees.
Straighten your back, paralleling it to the ground.
Inhale the right foot towards the ceiling, arching the spine and looking up.
Exhale reach the right knee towards the forehead, rounding the spine.
Repeat this process 4-8 times.
To release, exhale back into the table pose (flat back, on all fours).

If you're someone trying to get into the practice of yoga, take a step forward and try out this asana. If you like it, DM us to gain access for a complimentary class.

Three ways to motivate yourself to workout every day-

🌿 Get a friend to join the program with you. It will help you push yourself and keep your laze temptations in check. Make a plan to send regular progress updates to each other and remind each other to meet your goals.
🌿 Start with exercises you like/find easy. Then move onto more challenging ones. Create some sort of a reward program to celebrate small milestones.
🌿 Invest in some feel-good active wear. Light up some incense. The key is to make an event around it to get you excited about the activity.

Are you looking for a class to get you started on daily exercise?

Our DIY yoga mat cleaner is primarily made with two easily available essential oils - tea tree and lavender. The anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties of tea tree, when combined with the relaxing, calming scent of lavender, makes a great potion to help you unwind and release after an intense session of yoga.

Ingredients:

Small spray bottle
Distilled or spring water
2 drops of tea tree essential oil
1 drop of lavender essential oil
Witch hazel or white vinegar

How To:

Fill 1/4 of the bottle with witch hazel or white vinegar, and then fill the remaining space in the bottle with water. Both of these liquids have a more intense aroma, so you will need to add more essential oils to your mixture. Just be careful: a little goes a long way with essential oils.

Fill your spray bottle with water and add in the essential oils. Shake the yoga mat cleaner and spray your entire mat. Then, wipe down your mat with a damp cloth. Repeat on the other side, and allow your mat to dry for 5-10 minutes before rolling it up.

The pandemic has re-inculcated the imperative importance of quality family time into all of our lives.

Taking out a couple of hours a week from your hectic schedules and engaging in some kind of a family bonding ritual as an unmissable routine has several psychological benefits. These practices may be as simple as everyone sharing meals together, or mixing pleasure with productivity, and practicing yoga as a group.

Here's why the latter might be a great idea -
👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 It's fun, light & relaxing
👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 On lazy days, you have people around to motivate you
👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Including a healthy mix of asanas helps people everyone expand their horizons
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Encourage 5-10 minutes of individual practice. It translates into sustainable practice of giving each other mutual respect and space.

PS. To get your family to kick-start on this habit together, don't forget to entice them with a round of delicious but healthy snacks afterwards!

Every morning, six days a week, we go live on Instagram to practice yoga with you.
These videos are then uploaded to stay accessible to you anytime, so that in case you missed your morning practice, you can still do the session on your own.
But why Breath Yoga Studio, you may ask. Well, we love our classes. Here's why.
👉🏻 We've got not one, but three teachers, each one having their own style and specialty. Hence, you will always be doing something different and challenging yourself, by exploring different routines.
👉🏻 We pay equal attention to the physical and mental aspect of yoga. Hence, while your postures and movement are indeed very important, we take the practice beyond asanas by planning our music, and encouraging our attendees to set an intent before every session.
👉🏻 We make it a point to interact with each one of you. We try to understand your background, goals and limitations to help you assimilate the best out of each practice, and motivate you to stay consistent and committed.

Practicing yoga at home paves the way for self-discovery, discipline and empowerment.
No one else can understand and communicate with your body the way you do, so you should use this opportunity to truly journey within and focus on what each part of your self is telling you as you move from one asana to another, while paying attention to your breath.
However, with independence comes responsibility - and to make sure that you can draw the essence and benefits of our yoga classes without slacking on lazy days, here are a couple of ideas that we really emphasize on.

🌿 Set up your own designated yoga space. Do it up with a little bit of decor, and play some music. If you follow our classes, you'll see how we have a set playlist for our different regimes to really help you tune in. You can even light up some incense in one corner to really spruce up the mood.
🌿 Fix up a time to practice yoga, and stick with it. Routine is key to consistency.
🌿 Have two-three sets of yoga outfits. Make sure you're comfortable in these clothes - physically and mentally. Wearing something that feels right allows you to open your body and mind to exploring possibilities.

PS. We've got news! So many of you have shown love to our studio playlist , so we've compiled our favorite tracks together on Spotify! Do you want us to share it with you? Leave a 🧘🏻‍♀️ in the comments below if you want to listen to it!

The secret to yoga is awareness. To truly enhance your experience as you practice yoga, it is essential that you draw your attention to truly being mindful about each of the poses you take on - i.e., you feel and experience the present in its entirety, paying attention only, and only to your postures, and establishing a connect with within.

Mindful yoga is a form of meditation, and here are three simple ways to take your first steps towards it.

🧘🏻‍♀️ Track your breathing - is it deep/shallow, fast/slow etc.
🧘🏻‍♀️ Instead of paying attention to your whole body at once, every time you perform an asana, shift your focus part by part to each aspect of your frame. What is it telling you?
🧘🏻‍♀️ Every time you are distracted by feelings/sensations, look at them from a non-judgemental perspective, and shift your focus back to your breath.

Do you meditate in any form? Share your experiences with the process in the comments below!
