Peace in the Pause

Sometimes all you have is a minute. If that's how your day is going I have just the thing for you. A short & sweet meditation to help guide you back to the present moment. A minute to find your #peaceinthepause is better than no minute.

In this week's episode we will explore a pranayama practice called Cooling Breath, or Sitali Pranayama.

This breathing practice can improve focus; reduce agitation, anger, and anxiety; and pacify excess heat in the system.

My favorite place to use Cooling Breath is when traveling on an airplane. I hope you find this breathing practice helpful as you travel or manage any other challenging situation.

Yoga means union; it's the practice of being in the present movement. When we connect our breath to our movement it supports our practice of being mindful and present.

Practicing physical yoga can be as simple as lifting your arms up towards the ceiling as you breathe in and lowering them down as you breathe out. Yoga doesn't require special clothing or props. You can practice yoga sitting in a chair and get all the same benefits you would if you were practicing while sitting on the floor.

In this week's episode I will invite you to explore movement to release stress in the neck. Your neck does a lot of work, all day long, let's give it a little extra love.

An invitation to pause, restore, & renew in a Restorative Pose. Reclined Butterfly Pose is a supported backend & hip opener that gently invites space into the body.

Once you are in this pose I allow space for a 4 minute pause in this pose. However it can be enjoyed for up to 10 minutes or however long is comfortable for your body to linger.
