Sharing my space with my buddy!
Make the time to find peace!
In the silence of the morning, just before the sun rises is a time when your thoughts have not yet started to zoom around your brain.
This is the perfect time for meditation and light yoga, so you can start each day fresh with a clear mind and a limber body.
I like to finish each day with the sunset to remind myself to bring closure to events, thoughts and decisions of the day.
I am lucky to see the sunset while my evening yoga class is on and I feel this creates a significant impact on the body and mind connection.
The sunset re enforces the need to let go of the stuff each day brings even though some altercations or actions though the day have made us uncomfortable or angry or fearful.
As humans we are organic and our bodies will absorb peoples words and actions everyday. If you let this build up within you, it creates a stressful environment mentally and physically. We must learn to let go of all events daily, this is why it feels so good to unwind the body through yoga so the mind follows and both become relaxed and calm.
We are reminded that our wellbeing is of upmost importance and nothing is more vital than health and happiness.
Love yourself and set yourself free through yoga.
Namaste !
Yoga makes me Happy!
Open your heart
Stretching your chest muscles, opens the heart chakra and gives the body a feeling of release and freedom.
By using the arms you can open or close the upper body.
Here are three movements to open your minor and major pectoral muscles.
1. Take your hands behind your back, innerlace the fingers and draw your shoulder blades together, you will feel the chest muscles opening and spreading energy through the front of the body, take some deep exhales.
2. Move your arms one at a time in circles backwards, like you were doing backstroke with a single arm and breathe deeply.
3. Take your right arm and straighten it above your head then bend it at the elbow and drop it down your back, have the palm of your hand facing to your back and creep the fingers as far as you can get reaching towards the bottom of the shoulder blade.Then take your left hand and reach behind your back and try to link hands ( if you have a gap between the hands use a strap to bridge the gap until this gets easier to do. Once you have the hands holding the strap or your hands linking draw the shoulders open and breathe.
All these stretches done regularly will improve your wellbeing and make you feel happier and less anxious as well as correcting your posture.
Recognise stress and let it go!
