The physical practice of Yoga consists of shapes.… simple as that. We bring the body gently from one shape to another.
Pause here a moment to take a long, deep breath in through the nose... Now slowly let it out with a gentle sigh through the lips. Go ahead, try it again... Do you notice a little less tension? Breaths like that help us to disconnect from all the chatter going on in our brain. Once we connect with the breath, we are able to get into our bodies and move gently into poses that help build strength, flexibility and balance while comfortably doing the work of the poses.
In Yoga, we always ask ourselves what the body is asking for and then find the most nourishing variation of the pose for ourselves. We move the body slowly with lots of love from one shape to another, toning the body, releasing tension, cleansing the mind and we use the breath as the tool. Simple as that.....
