​GETTING GROUNDED FOR THE HOLIDAYS

November Yoga Sequence
By Emmy Rodriguez

  It’s hard to believe 2019 is almost over! Yet while the year is winding down, the holiday season is just ramping up! With all of the running around we do around this time of year, it can be easy to forget to take some time for ourselves. So find a quiet place, unroll your mat, and ease your way through these poses to help you destress, refocus, and stay at your holiday best!

The Prana:

Three Part Breath
Empty your lungs completely on an exhale. As you inhale, isolate your breath to your belly, becoming mindful of the belly button expanding and contracting with each breath in and out. Slowly incorporate the center of the lungs, behind the rib cage. Then eventually breathe fully, filling up to the top of the lungs, creating space in the collarbones and shoulder blades. Exhale the same way, creating a wave-like motion with your breath.

The Practice:

*Take your time in each pose! Don’t rush, but be mindful of how each pose feels. Use props as needed, and always honor when your physical practice needs props or modifications.

The Parting Words:
The holidays can truly be a magical time of year. There’s a serene, peaceful feeling that fills our hearts when we take the time to be present. But if we’re always moving, always trying to create that feeling by force, we can miss it completely. Take your time. Allow yourself to fully immerse yourself in each moment, each conversation, and each experience. Let peace on earth flow from peace within.
​Namaste.
