Just breathe!
Several weeks ago I finally heeded the call of the instructors to breathe throughout the entire series of poses and what a difference! With greater ease I now go deeper into every pose than ever before. I have been practicing Bikram Yoga since March and I can say that breathing throughout the class, as simple as it sounds, has improved my practice, and life, dramatically.
‘You have the pose, you have the breathe and then you have the yoga’. This philosophy has also spread into my daily living and has helped improved my patience for solving and dissolving stressful situations.
‘I breathe in, and I am the flower. I breathe out, and I have its freshness.’
