Yoga For Moods | FEEL

This series offers a journey into the restorative power of yoga.  Through mindful movement and breathwork, we’ll cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves.  Each posture is carefully chosen to facilitate healing and promote overall well-being.  Join us as we explore these practices and unlock their transformative potential.  Embrace the opportunity to nurture your body and mind.

Grounding yourself physically can create a deeper connection to your inner self.  A strong awareness of your physical presence allows for subtle emotional cues to become more noticeable.

Nurturing this connection can lead to a greater understanding of your emotional landscape.  By paying attention to the physical sensations, you open pathways to explore the nuances of your emotions. This mindful approach fosters a harmonious balance between the physical and emotional realms.

PART ONE | FEEL ❤️‍🔥

Postures to Identify Your Feelings

Child’s Pose (Balasana):

Kneel on the mat, bringing your big toes together. Sink your tailbone back on your heels toward the earth. Extend your arms forward as you lower your torso between your knees, resting your forehead on the mat. Choose a variation of this resting posture that brings the most comfort. Child’s pose encourages introspection and a sense of safety. It’s perfect for grounding yourself, especially when feeling overwhelmed or anxious, helping you reconnect with your inner peace.

Cat-Cow Stretch (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana):

Flowing between these two poses helps release tension in the spine and can invigorate the body. I always encourage additional movement in the spine when curing cat-cow. Get weird and connect with your breath. Cat-cow is an excellent choice for easing stress and enhancing mood.

Alligator or Crocodile Breath:

Grounding diaphragmatic breathwork can be a powerful tool for managing stress. Adding another element of earth (laying on the floor face down) encourages deeper emotional healing – especially in bouts of depression, anger, or frustration. More steady mindful breathing can calm the nervous system fairly quickly.

Nurturing your emotional well-being is a journey, not a destination.  Taking small steps regularly can make a big difference over time.  These practices offer gentle support as you navigate your healing process.

Remember to be patient with yourself and allow for growth at your own pace.  Embrace the opportunity to cultivate inner peace and resilience.

Take good care 🙏🏽
