Yoga doesn’t end when you step off the mat—your inner work continues in the quiet moments that follow. Journaling is one of the most powerful ways to deepen your practice.

When you write after yoga, you:
📝 Process emotions released during movement
🧠 Gain clarity on thoughts and patterns
💛 Strengthen mind–body awareness
🌱 Track growth in your practice and personal life

Think of journaling as savasana for your mind.

So next time you roll up your mat, take a few minutes to reflect. Your yoga practice will thank you—and so will your future self.

What is CHATURANGA in my yoga practice? It is pronounced chat-u-ranga! This pose is not as easy as it looks and requires a lot of strength. We hear terms in yoga class that seem more like yoga speak. I hope to demystify some of these along the way.

CHATURANGA means “four-limbed” or “four arms.” It’s a common transition pose in yoga and is also referred to as a low plank or yoga push up. Chaturanga is a common posture in a vinyasa yoga class. It's not an easy pose. Chaturanga requires whole body strength, alignment, and coordination. Chaturanga also plays a vital role in doing Sun Salutations.

CHATURANGA offers quite a few benefits. This four-limbed pose boosts energy, fights fatigue, and builds confidence. Other perks include strengthening your core, shoulders, arms, wrists, thighs and ankles.

How to do Chaturanga:

1. Start in Downward Facing Dog. Spread fingers nice and wide.
2. Roll triceps in and start to shift forward into plank pose. Feet are hip distance apart. Balls of the feet are underneath your heels.
3. Reach sternum forward. Neutral plank pose here.
4. Tuck tailbone down and pull shoulders back.
5. Bend elbows into the sides and come down halfway. Make 90 degree angle with the arms. Keep your shoulders in line with your elbows.
6. Gaze down and keep your neck long.
7. Take as many breaths as you like.

There are modifications to Chaturanga. You can lift to your comfort level and your're always welcome to lower your back body as you continue to build strength.

What are the benefits of folding in yoga?

Forward folds—like Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend) and Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend)—offer a wide range of physical and mental benefits. They help calm the mind, relieve stress, lower blood pressure, and support digestion. Plus, they’re great for stretching the spine and improving flexibility.

Join us this Saturday at 10 a.m. at NuAge Fitness Center as we explore the power of folds in our practice. This all-levels class is a perfect way to slow down, tune in, and take care of your body and mind. See you on the mat!

What is SETTING AN INTENTION in my yoga practice? My yoga teacher just suggested that I set an intention for my class and I have no clue what an intention is and why should I set one. We hear terms in yoga class that seem more like yoga speak. I hope to demystify some of these along the way.

The word is derived from the Latin intendere or intentio, which means both “stretching” and “purpose”. An INTENTION is bringing attention to a quality that you want to carry with you during your class, and possibly off the mat as well. The quality could be gratitude, strength, patience, confidence or whatever you wish to cultivate. You can also think of it as a mini New Years resolution.

SETTING AN INTENTION can be a little strange or even confusing at first. You may even ask yourself, “Am I doing this right?” You are not alone. But like most things in yoga, you cannot do it wrong. You first focus on your breath, and the beating of your heart. You turn your awareness inward and begin to focus on what really matters to you, a virtue you would like to embody – keeping it positive of course. At any point in your yoga practice, you can bring your intention back to mind.

In time you will find that you can set an intention at any moment of the day, and not just in a yoga class. You can wake up in the morning and set an intention for the day. Intentions give you a valuable quality to focus on throughout the day, aligning your body and mind. Allow your intention to trickle in throughout the day and notice the little changes that start to happen.
