What an amazing holiday yoga class followed by mimosas and brunch yesterday at Baia! The energy in the room was contagious, with everyone challenging themselves to try new poses, some impromptu dancing and laughter, and the entire room cheering for a yogi holding crow for the first time!
We set intentions at the start of class, with a focus on not waiting to begin our New Year’s resolutions. Waiting for January to set resolutions often fails because it creates pressure and procrastination. Starting now builds real momentum, allows for planning, and creates sustainable habits, making today the best time to begin any resolution.
We also worked on the pranayama technique of box breathing, where you inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and hold for 4, forming a “box” with your breath. This helps to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, lower the heart rate, and improve focus. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system to counteract the body’s stress response, making it a tool for managing anxiety and stress anywhere, especially useful during the holiday season.
Thanks to all that attended! 🧑🏻🎄
