Yoga - Your inner compass

A regular yoga practice can lead you to explore your layers and get to know yourself through your strengths and vulnerabilities, this can beautifully awaken your truth within.

Powerful questions that arise could include:

• What direction is your life going in?

• What do you consider important in life?

• What brings you happiness?

• How can you continue to explore possibility?

• Can you take that leap of faith?

The essence of grounding down in yoga and connecting to your inner world, your body, your mind and being completely aware and present in a moment always comes back to the breath. The breath can take you on an inner journey as you move feeling into fluidity, each movement is beautifully unique, as is each breath you ever take, no two are ever the same, always continually evolving.

Off the mat our life is also moving constantly. A regular yoga practice can gift you the ability to connect to a single moment bringing meaning to the true value of time and how precious it is, and you can become attuned to embrace what it is in life that brings you joy.

All sorts of wise sayings become prominent “Time waits for no man,” “Use your time wisely” to “Be careful who and what you give your time and energy to”.

The pace and pressures of daily life can really engulf us, and of course, everyone’s situation is different, but even when life is ticking along nicely, we can still find ourselves finding barriers that stop us embracing change, new adventures, or exploration.

This can be because of our ‘comfort zone’, a lack of direction, fear, or simply being blissfully wrapped up in the whirlwind of life and unaware of how precious each day, week, month, or year truly is.

A yoga practice connects you deeply to your breath, to mindfully be aware “I am breathing in,” for it is in this moment your awareness to the energy of life is alive.

Seconds or minutes that that can bring you home to you, to the here and now and an awareness of time and a connection to yourself.

Try and take a moment to close your eyes and just listen and feel into your breath...this moment is all we ever really have...bring your attention to it fully. Let calmness wash over you and tensions ease...the gift of being present.

Remember, yoga is so much more than a practice on the mat, it transfers into every aspect of your life and can beautifully light your inner compass as you evolve, finding your way in this world.

Yoga is for everyone.
