Just Breathe Yoga

The lessons on the yoga mat, translate so beautifully off the mat.

Breath in to expand out. Pressed down to pull up. Push forward to fold back. Pull back to rise up. There is give and take, effort and relax, concentric and eccentric, each important to create balance.

Stepping on my yoga mat still feels like returning home.

Are you are rule follower?
Are you a by the map, kind of person?

Do you look for others to show you or tell you how to live your life, do your thing and make your world a better place?

OR

Are you a trailblazer and like to color outside the lines and go 'off trail'???

If it's true that we are each unique individuals with common experiences, wouldn't it also be true that we each have our own way of pursuing the path that is appropriate for your lifestyles, interests, passions and goals???

Being inspired by others to be your best and do your best is one thing, but don't allow an INDUSTRY to tell you what you MUST do or to guilt and shame you into doing something that isn't consistent with your lifestyle!

You be you! Amplified! Expanded! Live Large!!! Don't settle for a condensed version of you!

First attend to firming your foundation, making connection from deepest center, and expressing out with passion. . . . then you can attend to things outside the four corners of your mat.

Just breathe..... inhale through your nose, sigh out through your mouth. Release whatever you are holding in a small tight place in your body, allowing it to dissipate into a larger space outside your body. Concentrated, contracted, condensed pain/poison is toxic. Expanded out into a larger area, removes the toxic load. Exhale. Relax. Release. Renew. Refresh. We were not create to be containers of toxicity. Exhale.
