Welcome!
It is my joy to share this gift with you, “ Body and Breath Awareness”.
Simple, yet essential practices that you can do in 3 – 10 minutes a day.
The intention behind these short but sweet daily practices is to bring awareness to your breath, body, and mind, starting you on a path of reducing the effects of an unbalanced nervous system and establishing a gentle, kind, and nourishing relationship with your body & breath.
My personal yoga practice has a set of simple, yet essential tools that have helped me over time stabilize high blood pressure and restore a healthy nervous system, which in turn, has reduced anxiety, anger, and dark days of depression. Yoga has helped ease the sadness of heartache and opened a sense of inner peace, love, and simplicity, reestablishing within myself a sense of trust and healthy discernment by reconnecting me to the Divine within myself.
By consistently arriving at my mat, showing up for myself, and giving myself space to allow for proper breathing, proper rest, proper movement, and proper self-care I have experienced the benefits of Yoga as a practice and as a lifestyle.
Note the keywords…Simple, yet essential, showing up and experience.
Simple does not mean easy. Example. A nightly commitment to yourself might be going to bed at 10 pm. Lights out, phones/computers off covers pulled up, head on the pillow, eyes closed. Sounds simple right? But is it that easy? For some, yes, but for most of us going to bed by 10 pm to catch those elusive 8 hours of sleep is a bit of a struggle. A regular bedtime is in fact essential to proper rest and good health. Not easy, sounds simple, most definitely essential.
- Consistently showing up for yourself with ardent effort establishes trust in yourself. Establishing trust in yourself allows for clear discernment, the ability to think for yourself, and trust in your choices and decisions.
- Yoga is experiential. Yoga requires you to slow down, pause, and “notice how you feel”. Yoga allows you to start right where you are. So let’s begin there…right now, right where you are.
