As I open one of my yoga books to study and prepare for a heart opening class I’m teaching this Wednesday evening, my eyes were fixed upon this quote I previously highlighted during Yoga Teacher Training…

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~ Rumi.

As we head in to the weekend, remember, it’s okay to not have a big to do list and to not finish the list.

Take time for things you enjoy and that bring you peace.

Wellness ~ Our culture tells us to keep pushing and adding more to our to do lists, buy more, stay busy, be distracted. But wellness is actually the opposite- it’s slowing down, quieting the mind, shutting out all the external noise, regulating your nervous system. and evolving on the inside. These things are crucial to our wellbeing yet often ignored or more so avoided.
Wellness is far more than the challenging, sweaty workout, the supplements consumed, and pounds lost. Those things are just the tip of the iceberg. When we stay focused on our physical appearance we neglect our inner world.
My hope is that more people will realize this and find more opportunities for enhancing the deeper parts of themselves.

My sister in Phoenix asked me for a virtual yoga session this afternoon. She has attended a Vinyasa style Yoga class each Saturday for years but sprained her wrist a week ago and wanted a more gentle practice for today.
It was great being able to customize the session for her and spend an hour and a half together (virtually). I love helping people feel their best, and it was extra special when she asked me.

While teaching Gentle Yoga this evening I had a few thoughts about why I love that type of practice. It allows me time to breathe, feel at peace, connect with my body, and be the best version of myself.

Also, two things I love and absolutely love teaching are Gentle Yoga and mobility classes. I wish more people would take time to focus on stress reduction, nervous system regulation, and movements which support the joints, lymphatic system, balance, and so much more.

Many people in the Northern Hemisphere see winter as an ugly, empty, dark time. To me, winter is a lesson. It’s a time when nature tells us to slowdown, rest, use what resources we have available (slowing down on the urge to accumulate more physical clutter and finding peace and fulfillment from within).

Nature is always teaching us to find balance in our lives. There are times for growth and outward abundance, times for rest and renewal and everything between. (Our bodily systems are also always working to balance our bodies through homeostasis.)

Last year I read a book called “Wintering” - can’t remember the author, but she gave insight on the wintering of animals, cultures, our ancestors, and her own experiences of “wintering” which were sometimes more in a metaphorical sense.

I have learned when I more closely align my life and beliefs to be in sync with nature, the more authentic and grounded I feel. Knowing that I will be spending more time indoors means having more time to focus on my health and wellbeing.

Tight hips? Stiff joints? Thinking you need to stretch more?
Try mobility exercises to move your joints through their full Range of Motion (ROM).

The screen shots below clearly explain the different between mobility and stretching both are great but mobility is most often overlooked.

Also, before a workout it is best to actively move your body (and joints) to prepare for the workout. Once you’ve finished your workout and your muscles have been worked, then enjoy a nice stretching session.

You can now find me at Divine Wellness Studio by Wishing Well on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings continuing to do what I do best in teaching mobility and the art of slowing down through Gentle Yoga.

Check back in later today for my post on the one thing people often overlook in their movement and fitness practices - Mobility and the difference between Mobility and Stretching (hint: one targets your joints and the other targets your tissues such as your muscles and fascia).
