You Need... Power Yoga
Your life may be busy, but you are rocking it!Whether it’s school, work, family, or spending time with your friends, you do what you can to show up.You’re athletic, you love pushing yourself, and you often spend your time off being active and getting outside. Your yoga practice should help you balance your body, breath, and mind.The good news? Power yoga is perfect for you.Whether you go to a studio or choose to do it in the comfort of your own home, power yoga is a strong and deep practice that will help you bring more mobility to your body and recalibrate your nervous system.It’ll also help you get rid of any extra stress you might be carrying… so you can be more present in every passing moment!“Change only happens in the present moment. The past is already done. The future is just energy and intention.” — Kino MacGregorHere Are 3 Yoga Postures You Can Do In the Comfort of Your Own Home:1) Sun breaths! These are great for helping you to deepen your breath (and deep breaths are what the body needs to really relax) and rinse any stagnation out of your shoulders and chest. They’ll also warm you up perfectly for some good strong sun salutes.Start with your hands by your side. Inhale and bring them up over your head. Exhale and bring them back down by your side. Let your breath guide your movements. Don’t move too quickly. And make sure you take at least 6-10 breaths.2) Tree pose! This is a great posture to help you find balance and strengthen your ankles. You can start small and simply balance your heel on your ankle bone, keeping your toes on the ground. Or, you can press the sole of your foot into the inside of your lower leg or your inner thigh. Just make sure to avoid pressing your foot into your knee. From there, keep your gaze and your breath steady and let your “tree” self sway in the wind. And don’t forget to smile!3) Sun salutes! Check out my YouTube tutorial on proper sun salute technique. Then make sure to always inhale during an upward movement, and exhale forward. Start with three in a row and build up to as many as 108 over time! (As long as you make sure that you’re keeping your shoulders in proper alignment and you bring your knees to the ground during when you move from high plank to low!)And who am I to tell you your next best pose?
