August and Everything After
Posted by admin under General
We are all dedicated to enhancing our minds and spirit through our body’s work. The yoga moves through this incredible community in so many ways.
During one of my yoga classes, it occured to me that it takes as much work to let go than to hold on. I was going into standing bow, one of my most challenging poses. George, the instructor at the time, said, “Just think of the end goal.” Instead of micro-managing every movement, I began to envision myself in standing bow, fully realized. It was at that point that I thought, “I don’t need to do anything. I simply need to open up, and release the tension and fear that holds me back.” As soon as I began thinking of releasing instead of pushing through, I went deeper into the posture.
Pracitcing the process of letting go can help release you from your past performance, opening up new insights, and provide a clearing for even more breakthroughs.
What will you be “letting go” of this August? Let us know right here on the blog.
