Using a Yoga class to shift how you feel.

Showing Up

It is how we approach a class that is key to the outcome. We are responsible for this; in the way we can recognise where we are in our internal landscape. Then managing what we do with this information, feed it, suppress it, or disperse it.

I invite you to be present to what arises as it arises.

Notice what the physical body is doing.

How it feels, where it holds tension or laxity.

How can you unwind the discomfort and how can you create or contain boundaries if necessary.

Notice the emotions that emerge, (most people do not even think about this, unless it’s so overwhelming that it’s obvious.)

How can you let these emotions move through you?

Can you use your breath to ease the intensity?

Create a flow in the stuck energy around the discomfort?

Can you invite the feelings to be there and be ok with feeling?

Feelings of sadness, anger, frustration without shame, embarrassment, or guilt?

Would you allow yourself to cry as you release the psoas in a hip opener?

Can you even notice joy?

Or release?

Or is your head just stuck in the “ought to and should do” and does this look right or good enough?

How do you practice?

Please invite yourself and give permission to allow yourself to be present and feel all the feels!

Know your Yoga teacher will be there to hold a safe space for you to show up.

Focus on what’s happening as you feel it.

Invite release and letting it be heard or seen, then inviting it to pass.

Have a wonderful practice
