“The yoga pose is not the goal. Becoming flexible or standing on your hands is not the goal. The goal is to create space where you were once stuck. To unveil layers of protection you’ve built around your heart. To appreciate your body and become aware of the mind and the noise it can create. To make peace with who you are.”
I love this quote by Rachel Brathen. Are you at peace with who you are? Through a consistent yoga practice you can take the necessary time to check in with yourself. Let go of your to do list, the constant demands placed on you and reconnect with your breath while moving through yoga poses, linking them together and quieting the mind. At SOL we start each yoga class with an intention. This month our Yoga teachers are focused on the idea of “finding your center”. Showing up for yoga class, taking time for self care, reading a book, spending time with family and friends. Focus on what is important in your life. Let go of the distractions that are holding you back and preventing you from having peace and balance in your life. Take care of your physical body, maintain a healthy mindset and open your heart to feel and live your best life. You only get one! Namaste, Belinda
