Let Go-ga!

The article was interesting and brought up some really good points that we can easily bypass if we’re unaware. Our favorite was “tensing when unnecessary” and ensuring that you try your best to make a conscious effort to stay relaxed even when you’re holding a difficult pose. Another point to add is to LET GO of all stress when you practice. Focusing on work, an issue at home, a fight with a friend – all of these thoughts need to be forgotten as you practice yoga! Besides, when you walk out of your class and walk to your car, you are immediately brought back to reality by a buzzing cell phone, so let go when you can! If I have something bother me at the beginning of my practice that I can’t shake out of my mind, I try counting back from 20 to 1 slowly in my head. I soon find myself focusing on more simple things like stretching and breathing verses my to-do-list!

With New Year’s around the corner, and resolutions being drafted, we highly suggest adding yoga to your list of ways to stay in shape and to stay sane! If you don’t have the time or money to buy a membership to a local studio, try our at-home work out, seen here.
