Citizens Alley and this community is really something special!

Yesterday many of us were able to take the time to get out, enjoy the weather, and share the love of yoga.

We took the time to slow down and reflect on our make up. The wind that moves through our empty space, the fire burning in our bellies, the water flowing through our veins, and the physical stature that builds our bodies. We found some simple movements connected to our breath to create an embodied experience out of the mind and into the present. We gently worked our energy up our central channel to create a sense of liveliness and vitality.

It’s wonderful to be able to share the practice of yoga with a new community of open minded individuals.

You can sign up for class at Citizens Alley or at the studio through the Ascend Wellness Fit Studio website and app.

I hope you’ll join us tonight at Citizens Alley in Minot, ND at 6:30.

Tonight our intention is cultivating confidence through self love.

I’ll walk you through an incredibly simple approach to winding down out of the mind and into the present body to fill and nourish our self with our own gift, the ability to create love.

As always come as you are, my ultimate intention is to support you as you find and connect to yourself. 🙏

How you come closer to your true self is your yoga. Practices big, small, physical, spiritual, consistent, or not is all yoga if it brings you away from suffering and closer to wellness, balance, or bliss.

In some stages of life that looks like tending primarily towards the body, sometimes we’re really needing to reframe our minds, and endless possibilities in between. It’s all a part of learning ourselves, having practices that work for you can be very stabilizing and grounding.

The 5 Koshas, or layers to your being, in story sample form.

Your body is sitting on the sand
You’re breathing the salty air in and out
Your thoughts are with you here
You can see pause or space between thoughts
You are observing all of this happen

Body
Breath
Mind
Subconscious
Bliss

You're not unreasonable or "mean" for raising your standards about who is allowed access to your emotions, your time, your skill, or your engagement.

Realistic trauma recovery asks us to get
unapologetically selective about who & what deserves our limited bandwidth.

Do you or someone you care about feel like their being stopped by low energy or chronic fatigue?

If a 15-20 minute practice 3-4 times a week significantly increased your energy levels and mood, would that be worth it to you?

Let’s connect and talk about brahmana, a simple breathing exercise that could give your nervous system the spark or expansion it needs.

This practice is also useful for those feeling well and balanced that would like to tap into abundance 🙏

The other side of this practice is Langhana, reduction, for those with anxiety or excessive brain activity. Again, let’s chat.

The nervous system is a key factor in anxiety and depression. Adding practices to your daily routine like elongating the inhale or exhale can be life changing when dealing with anxiety or depression. However, there is much more to consider in mental health and bringing the body and mind back into a state of ease.

The highlight the nervous system and breath gets comes from valid reason. If you’ve worked with the breath and haven’t found relief or haven’t found long lived relief that’s made a large enough impact alone, you may benefit from working with a Yoga Therapist.

A Yoga Therapist is trained to look at the whole person from the body, to the energy, the qualities of the mind, the subconscious affects, and the connection of them all to see the dis-ease wider than a nervous system disfunction.

This approach can get you improvements that last because you are implementing new practices that work for you in a way that works for you. That’s their avenue of service, working with the client in an interactive, personalized way of care that is educational and empowering.

If you’re working on your mental health and are new to the journey or are well into it and looking for the missing piece of the puzzle, I encourage you to seek out a Yoga Therapist. I am taking clients or I can recommend someone to you that would be happy to help.

Below is an image of that incredibly helpful nervous system approach from a different angle. If you’ve worked with the nervous system and found relief, you may gain something from this image. Other factors to consider you may dive into are the Doshas. This may open a rabbit hole for you’d I’d be happy to navigate you through from a trained professional perspective.

Anxiety is a normal part of the human experience. When it starts to interfere with your daily life (job, relationships) it could be considered a disorder. This level of anxiety is derived from an unregulated system, either in the body, energy flow, mind (conscious and subconscious), and the affect that has on our connection with ourselves, others, and the world around us.

A yoga therapist is trained to view the system through these different layers and help you navigate through what practices may help restore balance and increase awareness in these layers.

Exploring yourself in this way has proven to be extremely beneficial for many people with anxiety of all levels from mild anxiety that’s affecting you in ways you’d like to understand better to severe trauma caused anxiety and PTSD.
