I want to acknowledge those yogis that continued their practice with inlight:
You learned new new ways to practice, tried zoom,
stuck with it, even though it was brand new.
You braved the elements & heat in outdoor yoga.
You practiced with recordings. You liked the facebook posts.
You kept together as a sangha, kept together our experiment
of community, volunteer yoga.
Congratulations to you all & thank you. Let's keep it going together.
This start of our 20th year of inlight (2002-2022).
You don't need a zoom account or computer to take our zoom classes:
Just a smart phone, tablet or computer & internet connection. That simple.
Today's Stress-Less Tips -week of Jan 1
Posted every weekday
Here’s to a new & improved year!
Going back to what we posted one year ago.
New Year’s resolution to stress-less #1:
Develop a yoga practice
How to start:
-begin your day by scanning the body for muscular tension, use your exhales feel it release
-throughout the day take a moment be become aware of your breathing, observe it slow down
-take a traditional yoga class at least once a week
-end your day with the body scan again
New Year’s resolution to stress-less #2:
Develop a meditation practice
How to:
-take moments throughout the day to become aware of your breathing
-attend a yoga class at least once a week (to make it easier to sit still)
-find a quiet place to sit
-use a comfortable way to sit aligned (a chair is fine)
-go through the steps to lead you in
(stillness, breathing, physical comfort, moving awareness inward)
-use a focal point (a peaceful image or sound of your breathing)
-make it a routine
-start slowly and build up
New Year’s resolution to stress-less #3: yoga philosophy
How to:
-non-attachment: not dwelling or holding on to emotions, things, people
-understanding your patterns, the way you react to situations. Learn where they stem from
-you have control of your mind & thoughts
-let your life be guided in a positive direction, a direction that leads to stability, balance & peace
-your yoga practice will support you in that path
-your attitude & faith will also support you in the path
-your meditation will help you stay focused on the path
-know that your true self is greater than the stresses of daily life
New Year’s resolution to stress-less #4:
Use yoga breathing practices
How to:
-get to know breathing, observe it throughout the day
-pathway cleansing breathing (often called alternate nostril breathing) is a good way to manipulate your breathing
-or simply, consciously slow it down whenever possible
-controlling your breathing controls your nervous system
