Our daily pace may
have us multi-tasking and testing our stress limits. However productive this
may seem it does not support our immune system, nerves, and general well-being.
We may not be able to slow down every activity, but we can create balance in our
day with yoga. Gentle Yoga invites us to slow down and journey within
to connect with our inner well of peace and tranquility.
I created a Gentle
Yoga video so that we may explore yoga's rich benefits
at home as public or private class may not always be within reach. This
slower-paced, relaxing yoga class combines light movement, breath, and
mindfulness. Although Gentle Yoga welcomes those with stress, physical
limitations, injuries, and seniors, it is not limited to those individuals.
People of all ages and physical abilities have found value in incorporating
Gentle Yoga into their wellness activities.
As you explore this
and any other yoga practice, keep in mind these guidelines:
- Work gently and slowly, respecting your body’s abilities and limits.
- Breathe smoothly and continuously as you move and hold postures.
- Practice with an open mind and a sense of humor. Give yourself space to learn.
- Breathe smoothly and continuously as you move and hold postures (unless otherwise noted).
- Work gently and slowly, respecting your body’s abilities and limits.
- Do not move beyond muscle tension to pain.
- Do not perform postures or movements that are painful.
- Ask if you are unsure how to perform a certain movement or need a modification.
- A full stomach may limit your experience; please allow 60 minutes after a meal to begin a physical practice.
May you tap into
your well of peace and tranquility this day and every day.
Always a Yogi,
Lynn Marie
