Stay Mindful & Concentrate on What You Are Doing

Every action in yoga should be intentional, so take the time to understand the pose or movement and approach it at your own pace.(it is perfectly ok to be the last one into a pose). By paying close attention to your alignment and action, even challenging poses will eventually become possible. try to focus your mind on feeling the physical effects of each posture while concentrating on your breath. If your mind starts to wonder, which it will, simply notice that you're distracted and bring your attention back to your breath. If there are outside distractions, try to concentrate on yourself and ignore what is going on around you. While in your pose, allow your attention to flow through your body, searching out places where you store tension and tightness-then encourage those muscles to relax so that the energy can flow more effectively and efficiently. Listen carefully to your body and mind dialogue without judgement or expectation.

Practice at your level

Leave your ambition at the door and don't try to outdo anyone. Avoid overstretching, straining or competing with others. Yoga is Non-competitive, so be sure to rest when needed. THERE IS NO END TO YOUR YOGA PRACTICE,NO GOAL TO REACH,NO POSE TO CONQUER...in fact, you will never be *done* with a pose. Yoga is a practice that will keep you interested and challenged for a lifetime. There will always be ways to take it deeper, to refine the alignment. So enjoy the journey, forget about the destintion! Look to improve on your own level. Give yourself permission to do less and/or rest, as needed. Take care of your own needs in class, whether that's by taking a break, observing instead of doing, or modifying a pose to make it more comfortable.

The Gift Of Practice

My practice is not perfect(I have missed a day or two), but I've learned that I can do yoga anywhere, anytime. I don't need special clothes or a sacred space. Even 10 minutes a day is better than nothing. I have come to understand the value of daily practice- for mind, body and spirit.

Why is home practice so important? Your personal mat is the perfect yoga lab, where you can experiment with poses to understand how they feel in your body. Even the smallest movements can help you in your daily life.

More importantly daily practice has put yoga front and center in my consciousness. I working on noticing my breath and to stay connected with it throughout the day(even when chasing my kids around!) I also have worked it into my bedtime routine to help me relax and focus on breath. Even in tense situations :dentist, difficulty at work, or just waiting in line at the grocery store. Yoga spills over into every aspect of my life.

I do yoga the way we all do: In the body I have, minute to minute, in the midst of the life that I have been given. It is awesome.

Namaste,
Taryn

NAMASTE!

Yoga is not just about poses. It is about blending them together, creating your own practice, facing challenges and keeping peaceful even when it is hard to balance and things are getting pretty twisty. Your flexibility level does not matter. The things you learn in yoga can have an amazing effect on your life, too. Your yoga practice can calm your mind and help you to drop petty, obsessive thoughts. The time you spend on your yoga mat creates time and space for your mind to rest and meditate. Let yourself be open and receptive to the messages coming to you. When your brain is still, can you hear your heart? Meditation is hearing, receiving, and just being still. Sit still, smile, close your eyes and try to find a quiet, compassionate place.

Remember that you were born perfect. There is no need to seek it because it already exists inside you. I hope your practice helps you live with laughter, kindness, and grace. Be sure to enjoy the wonderful person you are.

Namaste,
Taryn

Cultivate Self-love

Yoga Sutra I.33 advises us to cultivate love for those who are happy, compassion for those who are suffering, joy for those who are virtuous, and equanimity for those who make mistakes. Patanjali's advice also applies to how we relate to ourselves. Cultivate self-compassion by including this reflection in your yoga practice.


LOVE:
Acknowledge that you deserve health and happiness, and that you are worth the effort it takes to make a positive change.

JOY:
Give yourself credit for, and celebrate, any positive actions you have taken to support yourself. Also have gratitude for any support you have received from your family and friends.

EQUANIMITY:
If you are feeling bad about a recent setback, remind yourself that mistakes are only human, and they are an important part of the path of change. Instead of berating yourself, focus on your larger goal to be happy, healthy and free from suffering.

Finding Your Yoga

As the popularity of yoga continues to increase, finding one's way through the miles of yoga information can be confusing. Is Yoga about fitness? Performing challenging yoga poses? Following the teachings of a particular "style"? Is it relaxation and stretching?Is yoga the development of the body through regular physical practie, or is it about self-awareness, meditaion,philosphy or a lifestyle?
The answer to all the above is simple. YES. The key is finding your own yoga.
Different people may be drawnj to different aspects of yoga,such as physical fitness,fun,increasing performance,mental focus in sport, recovery from illness or injury,relief from physical or emotional pain or stress,philosophy,meditation or as part of an ethical approach to living a peaceful, balanced life.
Yoga has many benefits. We each get to decide what aspect of yoga we feel will be beneficial for us to focus on,and we can move on to another aspect if and when we are ready. Our yoga practice can begin simply with a sincere willingness to learn.

Namaste,
Taryn
