If you closed your eyes and tuned into your natural breathing pattern would you feel your breath in the side of your rib cage?
How long does it take to roll in and back out again?
Does it feel like it jumps or gets stuck?

Here’s the thing… for whatever reason which can include a combination of life, events, stress, genetics, habits and more we can create a pattern of breathing that is shallow, short & strained.

This shallow, short & strained breath pattern is literally draining your battery, both moment to moment & in the longevity that you might have otherwise had.

Studies have shown that due to the way in which we breath, which often doesn’t make use of the lower parts of the lungs our breath capacity declines over time and worse than that the tissues of the lungs die off - because like every other part of our body, they too require oxygen to survive and thrive.

So what can you do about it?

You can put your hands on the sides of your lower rib cage, close your eyes and breath into your hands slowly, without force, in and out through your nose. To breathe into your rib cage you do not need to take in any more breath than you usually would - stick to wear you are at and instead try to use the organ of respiration, the diaphragm a little more and your chest and belly much less.

Take 3 breaths and notice, maybe you make a subtle shift, maybe the first time nothing changes at all. But keep coming back to it and notice the return of energy instantly each time you do. Imagine banking that up every day ready for a long, healthy life ahead!

And let me know what you find in the comments below 👇🏼 you never know who you might inspire to start breathing well by doing so!

I think that the physicality of yoga’s most recent history does it a huge injustice.

Where you think it’s about giving yourself a good old stretch I see that it’s an exploration of how the mind can react & the breath can hold when we’re placed under pressure.

Or even better, how the mind steadies & the breath finds its fullest & most efficient potential when we move our joints, our bodies & our muscles and connective tissues with both strength & mobility.

You see someone meditating looking peaceful and I see someone who closes their eyes to simply be with everything inside of them - not fearful of what’s there but accepting that it is a part of that moment in time for them.

Yoga is not just asana. But asana absolutely was written in Patanjali’s text to remind us that we must be able to sit - literally or figuratively with ourselves and that way to do that to ensure vitality and longevity is with equal parts of steadiness and ease.

What do you think? Did I get close to what you need to know about what yoga is in 60 seconds?

This week I’d like to dedicate my memes to all of the millennial’s who are a little bit party, a little bit gangsta and a little bit yogi all at once 😅

Which one brings back the best memories for you? I’m definitely a Coyote…

Shout out to Kat River | creative midwife | speaker | writer for providing the ride on mower goods….

And yes, this is me practicing one of my own classes, with Pitbull playing in the background because life is all about balance.

This next 4 weeks is all about breathing over in By Kat Harding aka

Why?
1. Without your breath, you wouldn’t even be alive
2. Breathing efficiently and effectively is scientifically proven to impact every other system & function of this human vessel of yours &
3. I would also say it’s a pretty good way to stop yourself from yelling at your kids or your husbands or your colleagues all day (it also helps with the internal screaming too I promise).

If you want to breathe better, learn a little bit of cool science & embark on 7 days of breathing to test the above theories /science for yourself, comment CHALLENGE & I’ll send you all of the details.

Reflecting on gurus & guides - and a really great post that reminded me that guiding is just as, if not more important than knowing.

Don’t get me wrong, what I want to share isn’t just philosophy or preaching to you.

But when I say I would choose this work over and over again it’s not because I want to see more people looking like pretzels.
It’s because it IS possible to understand this experience of yoga through holding a chair pose for 5 minutes and observing one’s own reactions & thoughts AND that is just one way of you coming to the way of working with your own biases and beauty to feel the deep inner resilience amongst the challenge that is your birthright to feel.

Our survival as a human species is in part due to our resilience - our proudest and most challenging moments coming together & our lessons being passed on.

So yes, I’d choose to teach these things - physically, mentally, energetically every single day because it feels meaningful to me.

I’m on the pursuit of happiness.

Part of that is returning to the most inspiring place for any practice: nature.

And also listening to Kid Cudi.

What about you?

They see everything.

And it’s been a long time since I’ve shown them this.

If you’re a parent, let them see these moments. Trust that you are strong enough to hold them when they climb on you. Don’t wait until the perfect time, this IS the perfect time.

Ps. Testing out some new whole body mobility for By Kat Harding aka - what do you think?

Here’s the truth.
We can feel the things.
We can put words to those feelings.
We can blame, talk about & tell our version of the story.
AND
We can also speak our truth with kindness, compassion and words that do not increase the level of harm that may have already happened.

The words you choose create the spoken reality and inner content of you & your being.
Be wise with what you’re choosing to say & participate in.

Ps. I’m not saying I’m always perfect - you won’t be either. But let’s try shall we?
