What's Stopping You?

"Bring yoga to your world."  

It’s my tag line, and my mantra with my yoga business.  I’m beginning to think that maybe the line should read:
"Bring your world to yoga."  
We are so often forced to "go do this workout" or "attend that class".  It's exhausting to organize movement into your life...  If your world is anything like mine (or my friends, or similar to 99% of the people I know…)
​
YOU HAVE ENOUGH ON YOUR PLATE.
 
And that is good.  It’s nice to be full up on things you love. (Hopefully you’re choosing to invest your time in things you love.)

But what about the concept of bringing your world to yoga.  How do you sit and move and function through your day?  What maybe can we swap and do differently so your body is able to make more shapes in a day?  How do you see movement in relation to the way you live now?  Do you have the awareness to move in differing patterns?
​
If you’re sitting while reading, this can you grow taller by reaching the crown of your head towards the ceiling?  Expand you lungs and breath more deeply?  THAT is yoga at its heart.

Instead of scrolling on your phone mindlessly at the end of the day on the couch, could you, would you, be willing try lying down, with your legs up a wall and continue the mindless scrolling? (Also yoga…though the mindless part not so much…but one thing at a time.)

Maybe just go for a lunchtime walk and notice the smells in the air, and the sounds around you.  Put your phone away.  Get away from your screens.  Notice how your body feels.

These are all mini-yoga sessions.
​
It’s a much more multi-faceted practice than people first think.  And you don’t even need stretchy pants or a yoga mat.
