How to work with emotions in yoga! 🧘🏼‍♀️ 🩵

🩵Allow the emotions by feeling them. Notice their shape, color, and texture in your body. Move through yoga to feel them in different positions.

🩵Breath into your feelings to create spaciousness. Allow feelings to be without judging yourself or the situation. Use your breath to create greater lightness.

🩵As you approach your feelings, allow them to cultivate self-understanding and acceptance. Remember that feelings are a natural response to stressors and challenges and can give us greater understanding. No need to “fix” or change them.

🩵View your whole situation from outside as a witness. Understand how the thoughts that gave rise to your emotions are a result of conditioning or tendencies. Do you notice any tendencies or habits that are leading to this particular emotion?

🩵Allow your self to see any core beliefs which might be at play here and reflect on the positive quality that is your deeper need. For example if you feel hurt, may be you really want to experience love and care.

🩵Notice the part of your body that you wish to come home to and allow that positive feeling to spread through your being.

You are WHOLE
Yoga is more than physical exercise.
Yoga is connection.
It is union with all that is.
When we practice yoga, we remember that connection between mind, body, and spirit which is always there.
We forget.
We are a part of the vast whole of the universe.
Our connection to the whole never dissipates.
You are a part of the whole.
Shed any beliefs that keep you separate
Reunite and welcome the WHOLE being you are
Wholeness does not depend on your job
Your career, or even your friends
You my friend are whole
Go out there and be yourself
Perfectly imperfect being that you are
Without trepidation, with determination
Let’s live with peace
Knowing this connection
May the world feel this blessing
And rejoice in its gifts 🎁

I am not even going to pretend I have it together all the time. I am doing very well. I am human and so are you. Even with our best intentions, sometimes things don’t work out or things take longer than expected. I have to say though regular meditation, exercise, and yoga can CHANGE your life. Not only improving your health, but your resilience, emotional regulation, and immunity. Don’t think for one second that that there are perfect beings with perfect lives. Social media can be so deceiving. So focus on those daily or weekly habits that can enhance your health and emotional well-being. Focus on you and your self-care and everything will fall in place.

What is the difference between a Yoga Teacher and a Yoga Therapist? 🩵🩵🩵🩵

The difference is in the application of the yoga. According to Mary Northey, Dean of the Kripalu School of Yoga Therapy, " The yoga therapist serves as a guide or mentor on a client's journey of self-discovery, offering them tools to use as they're ready. We become a witness to their healing process and their unfolding as a human being." Things that differentiate:

Yoga Therapists are not certified until they have 1,000 hours of training, a 200-hour yoga teacher certification plus an additional 800 hours of additional study. The curriculum includes the Five-Kosha Model of assessment how to adapt yoga to specific conditions and populations, the integration of ayurvedic principles and 150 hours of clinical experience with clients. We take classes in the advanced study of anatomy and physiology, disease, and mental health disorders as viewed through a western lens. In addition yoga therapy starts with specific goals and the outcomes and we look at the entire individual holistically so even if there are goals we address the whole. Nonetheless we give homework and we measure the results. 🩵🩵🩵🩵

Nonetheless, Yoga Therapy is being integrated into mainstream medical settings to include clinics, VA hospitals, and chiropractor' offices. 🩵🩵🩵🩵

We also use our intuition and have it guide us with our clients. We use assessments to help us measure progress. 🩵🩵🩵🩵

In addition we are a part of a professional organization, International Association of Yoga Therapists. 🩵🩵🩵🩵

I am a Yoga Therapist and I look forward to working with you! 🩵🩵🩵🩵

Certified Professional 800 hour Yoga Therapist. Working to bring balance to body, mind, and spirit using the applications of yoga.

“Chronic pain is multi-dimensional. At the physical level itself……there is hyper arousal state of the components of the nervous system, which negatively influences tension component of the muscles, patterns of breathing, energy levels and mindset, all of which exacerbate the distress and affect the quality of life of the individual and family. Beginning with the physical body, Yoga eventually influences all aspects of the person: vital, mental, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. It offers various levels and approaches to relax, energize, remodel and strengthen “

-Nandini Vallath

This is why Yoga Therapy sessions are so powerful. We look at the whole individual beyond the yoga movement itself and address all dimensions of being: mental, emotional, physical, and energetic! 💚

Nose breathing 🌟

Did you know that nose breathing stimulates energy channnels: the ida (left side of body) and pingala (right side of body)?

It also has a calming effect to our nervous system.

✅there are energy pathways in the body that spiral from the left and right side of the body and end at the nose

✅the nostrils are smaller openings than mouth breathing so your breath naturally moves slower

✅your nose breathing activates upper chakras or energy centers in the body

✅as air enters in this manner, it passes near the pituitary gland, giving some stimulation to this gland

✅you actually lose less water as well due to the longer passageway to the lungs through the nose

✅ the longer passage way to the lungs through the nose naturally slows down the breath

✅ slow deep inhales and exhales through the nose is the perfect way to breath in yoga, but also in daily life

✅activates parasympathetic nervous system!! Also,known as “rest and digest.”
