Breath of Joy
Come sit on your shins. Put a blanket under your knees for support. Inhale and stand on your knees with your arms held high.
Compassionate Garudasana
A couple of weeks ago, on my way to teach yoga, I visualized eagle pose with arms wrapped around oneself and called it compassionate eagle with a smile.
Suppta Baddha Konasana
One of my favorites. Come lie on your back. Knees bent, feet touching. Use a blanket or yoga block beneath each knee.
Mantra Practice
I struggled to accept mantra for a long time. Sanskrit mantra meaning protect the mind . On my journey, repeating a mantra has helped me stay focused and avoid negative thoughts.
Yoga changes your energy
If you drag yourself out of bed and drink coffee in the morning, try ten rounds of Surya Namaskar or Kapalabhati pranayama to energise your nervous system.
Yoga boosts your metabolism
A morning yoga exercise will get the blood, breath, and muscles circulating before breakfast, helping to absorb meal nutrients.
Yoga reduces anxiety
If you've been in an anxiety cycle for a while, your body may have learnt to protect itself by staying stiff, locked off, and breathing sharply.
