Yoga for Energy

I've decide to log my experience with my own practice and as I share my experience and learn more, I  hope to inspire some of you who are still uncertain about the practice of yoga.

Yesterday I felt a lot of burnout. It was another rainy evening and I was longing some sunlight on what's been a dismal summer so far (it's only June 24th but still-it's been a dreary spring now summer too!? yikes). So even though I felt a downer mood coming on,  I keep my promise to myself that I would go to my class. I arrived early so I'd get the "sunny" side of the class. I call it sunny because I receive direct  light as do my practice and I know it always makes me feel better when I feel the natural light. Sometimes my classmates choose to close the blinds, and I politely allow it; however inside I'm a bit disappointed - but I know yoga is about letting go of daily irritations so I play with that in my mind for a moment then let it go. 

So last night I persevered, the blinds where wide open I had my favorite spot on the floor I was already feeling so happy, it was so wonderful to be there...many of my classmates expressed being tired, but as we chatted, the energy seemed to shift! I started out feeling low energy but by the time I finished my tune-in I was full of energy and raring to go and it was a fantastic class. I went to sleep earlier than usual and had a fantastic sleep and feel totally energized today.

So, try to remeber to practice, even if you body is saying not. The results are lasting even 24 hours later!

Nameste!

Balance Poses

Balance

Balance poses are my personal favorite, I find them very challenging but also very rewarding when I reach my goal!

People who do yoga often nget too excited in performing balances. This is good because the fun that the person acquires helps him to liven up his spirit and enlighten his soul. Balance is helpful in improving your posture. In improving your posture, the spinal cord is elongated which helps to keep yourself from some injuries and falling over.

Balance helps in training your ability to focus on your main goal and attention. However, attention should be obtained in the ultimate level because if your concentration is weak, for sure you cannot perform this type of pose.

Balance is one of the yoga poses that people truly appreciate and exert effort for. Along with the balance poses comes the twist which extremely releases tension all over your body. The tension in your spine is made clear. Twisting may seem to be hard to obtain. It is important to execute twists on both sides of the body so that the balance and alignment is obtained.

Taking note of these yoga poses will help you get along with yoga perfectly. Keep in mind that concentration is your main key if you want to be successful in doing these yoga poses.
