Area of focus for this practice: BREATH
Our breath is our most immediate and constant gateway into our present moment awareness.
Deepening connection to our breath holds immense value - we can do so much to regulate our nervous system with intentional breathing. In his book “light on yoga” Iyengar says “evenness of breathing leads to healthy nerves, and so to evenness of mind and temper."
Today we will explore different breath practices and observe their powerful effects on our being.

Area of focus for this practice:
Developing self mastery involves practices that deepen our self awareness. This brings us out of Tamas - darkness and ignorance. Ignorance, or a lack of true seeing, is one of the main causes of suffering.
When we are more self aware and non-judging, we are better able to interrupt the mental feedback loops that cause us to feel trapped stagnant.
This practice will focus on bringing you into deeper self awareness.

The body is the vehicle through which we experience being. It is constantly giving us valuable feedback and information about our existence. When we deepen our connection to our body and its rhythms, we deepen in self mastery.

Part 4/5 of a new yoga course, designed to empower you with yogic practices.
Area of focus for this practice: MIND
One aspect of personal power is the practice of directing of the mind. When it’s time to focus it, we focus. When it is time relax it, we can disengage from its wanderings. When it throws a tantrum, we practice being nonreactive. You are not your thoughts. They are but one aspect of the amazing being that is YOU.

Part 5/5 of a new yoga course, designed to empower you with yogic practices.
Area of focus for this practice: PERSONAL POWER
Personal power is not dominance; it is not something that we wield over others with a sense of superiority, nor is it a tool for selfish manipulation.
It is a grounded confidence that meets life’s unexpected challenges with an accepting readiness. It is faith in one’s self and our ability to persevere amidst adversity. It is an inner knowing that we can adapt and become conscious of self-limiting patterns, and develop new ways of being that allow us to serve and thrive!
