The Art of Letting Go.

Come to the back of your mat, settle your hips to your heels, lay your forehead on the ground and settle into the stillness… If only it was that easy.

Letting go has and never will be easy, but you have to let go in order to create space for good and joy in your life. We have a tendency to hold our emotions in places like the heart, hips, shoulders and even our jaw. It has an affect on your reactions and outward projections towards others.

Even if it’s just for a minute, allow yourself a moment to breathe… Here’s an exercise you can do at home in five minutes to sit back, relax, and just breathe.

Find a comfortable sitting position. This can be cross-legged or on your heels. Sit up straight, maybe take a few shoulder shrugs or a gentle neck roll. Begin to settle into stillness, close the windows of your eyes, and just breathe. At first, take a cleansing breath or two, then settle into a nice inhale/exhale rhythm. Once you have a clear breath, begin to take longer inhales and exhales; really focusing on every breath that passes. You can count your breaths, envision what your breath is doing, or simply just concentrate on breathing. Use this tool when you feel anxious, stressed or just need a quick minute to breathe.

We offer a few in person classes that allow your to fully immerse yourself in the moment, let go of the other things, and feel lighter on the other side. Our full schedule can be found here.
