Our relationship with our breath is much deeper than you think💭

We can actually alter our state using our breath!

The nervous system is influenced by our breath and how we feel every day, a slower paced breath making you feel calmer and a faster paced breath making you feel more alert🌬️

Both sides of the nervous system working together to support our everyday lives, each one just as important as the other!

There is usually more of a focus on calming the breath, this is only due to an increase of every day stresses in our lives. However, an activating breath is vital too for when you want to feel alert ready for your day or need some more energy. It’s all about listening to what’s already going on in the body.

In yoga, we practice different breath-control techniques to prepare the mind for concentration (Dharana) & meditation (Dhyana).

✨Have you noticed a change in your state after pranayama in class?✨

I’m so excited for this month’s breath-focused theme in Yoga Flow & Gong where we’ll be exploring the breath in more depth, different ways/techniques to manipulate the breath & learning the science behind it🫁🌀✨

Join us every Monday at 7PM at ASHRA Wellness Studio, link to book is in my bio🔗

1. Yoga can change the way you experience and respond to stress and anxiety🌀

2. The most advanced yoga practice isn’t measured by how flexible your body✨

3. Yoga is for EVERY body🧘‍♀️
- you definitely don’t need to be flexible to practice

4. The way you speak to yourself during your practice matters more than how your pose looks💭

5. Rest is part of the practice🕯️
- the hardest part for some! Learning to slow down and tune into self-enquiry

6. Your daily practice doesn’t always have to include Asana🙏🏽
- it may be a simple 5 minute pranayama

It’s not about being the most flexible or putting pressure on yourself, yoga is about listening to your body/mind and meeting yourself exactly as you are. A practice that suits you, your body and your life🤍

Have you ever left a class feeling exhausted and your mind is still in overdrive the whole time?

& the polarity - have you ever left a slower practice feeling rejuvenated? More energy?

So many of us struggle to slow down when we’re so busy or cancel class - when really those are the things we actually need in that moment!

We need the Yin to our Yang☯️ being busy is great but it’s so important to find a practice where you can pause, be present + find deep rest.

Wouldn’t it be nice to feel calmer, lighter, more clarity - even during the busier periods of life?

If this is ringing true to you, then let that be a sign to give yourself permission to slow down…

My Gentle Yoga Flow may be exactly what you’ve been looking for, booking link is in my bio🤍✨

honestly you know those days where you feel like it’s one thing after the next, you feel drained, overwhelmed and things just get a bit much that it feels like the end of the world !!

those are the exact moments where yoga can actually make you feel lighter, and usually are the days where we resist going 😅

now I’m not saying it’ll fix everything, but by practicing even just for 10 minutes can allow you to slow down, move your body, breathe a little deeper and get out of your own head.

and somehow, whatever felt so overwhelming before doesn’t seem quite so overwhelming anymore🤍

you leave the mat feeling a little more like yourself again✨✨✨

A reminder that yoga is way more than the physical postures and doesn’t just happen on the mat🌀

It’s a way of life, found in how we treat ourselves, how we move through difficult moments, and the values we carry with us day-to-day🤍

Satya - truthfulness

Ahimsa - non-violence

Pranayama - breath control

Tapas - self-discipline

Santosha - contentment

A reminder that yoga is way more than the physical postures and doesn’t just happen on the mat🌀

It’s a way of life, found in how we treat ourselves, how we move through difficult moments, and the values we carry with us day-to-day🤍

stay true to yourself always + never lose focus of what’s really important in this life🤍🤍🤍
