Emotional Freedom Through Yoga

When the weather and seasons change, we frequently feel our bodies respond. When it's colder outside, we feel more contained and stiff. When it's warmer, we feel open and supple. But during this transition period, where they'll be more rain or flowers blooming, there could also be energy and emotions stuck within the heart and therefore the hips that require to maneuver out and around!

 All you would like may be  :

•  a yoga mat

•  bolsters

•   a yoga belt

Our hearts are the emotional center of affection , joy, gratitude, and peace. However, once we suppress our emotions, they often grind to a halt down within the hips. And once we attend our yoga mat- we feel it! Here are two poses you'll attempt to get yourself emotionally free today.

Gomukhasana / Cow Face Pose:

Here, we'll open the hips and therefore the heart together. Start by tucking your left leg underneath your right therefore the knees are squeezed tightly together ahead of you. If this is often uncomfortable, simply cross your legs or stack your hips abreast of a bolster.

Root your sitting bones down into the bottom then reach your right arm up and left your arm back. Reach for the hands behind you or clasp onto your belt for assistance. Take 5 deep breaths here then fold forward and hold for an additional 5-10 breaths. Slowly release and either move onto subsequent pose or practice the opposite side.

Restorative Pigeon Pose / Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana:

Transitioning from Gomukhasana, swing the proper leg back and shift the hips in order that they are square to the front. confirm the front leg is externally rotated therefore the knee points toward the front left corner of your mat. For a deep, supportive variation, place a bolster underneath your hips and one ahead of you.

Straighten out your back leg and lengthen your spine on an inhale. As you exhale, slowly fold forward. Drape your torso and head over the bolster and provides it a pleasant hug. Exhale all of your stress and old, toxic thoughts and feelings away. Breathe deeply into your hips. Allow yourself to sink and surrender into this supported pigeon pose. Stay for two minutes.

Active Pigeon Pose :

If you desire a more dynamic practice of pigeon pose, try the complete variation. you'll still use a bolster for support under the hips if needed. Set the legs up within the same position. This time, keep the torso upright and reach back for your right foot together with your right . Rotate the arm in order that you point the elbow up to the sky and convey the foot closer to your head, eventually reaching back with the opposite arm.

If this feels out of reach, use one among our yoga belts! Loops the yoga belt around your foot and work on flipping your grip and rotating your arm. Slowly and surely, over time with practice, the belt will make this advanced posture more accessible. the sweetness of using props is that they can make any pose accessible to anyone.
