Slow Down


“Brush it off! “

“Push through!” 

This world is constantly commanding us to not feel and stay busy; therefore, forcing us out of the present.  Yoga on the other hand encourages quite the opposite.  For most people it enables us to slow down, and to stay in our bodies opposed to consistently being sucked out of it via distractions (i.e. work, television, worry…).  I like what T.K.V Desikachar mentions in his book,  “The Heart of Yoga,” the idea of there being one rule regarding rest:  Take when needed.  This is such a wonderfully simplistic piece of wisdom, and a philosophy yoga embodies.  This yoga sequence above by Colleen Saidman incorporates many twists allowing you to let go of tensions brought on by this world both physically AND emotionally.  Enjoy J
