Long time, no post...my bad. I've been working on being a dedicated student, so it was certainly for a worthy cause. I just wanted to pop in quickly to share some yoga inspiration from the world of the internet and to share with you some things that I'm finding. I'll try to do this more regularly from now on.
The first is from the blog Honeystuck on handstands and facing our fears:
"There’s an art to losing control. A certain grace in coming undone. Handstand itself is one of the more graceful human postures, I think. Just this incredible strength in stillness. For a frenetic type, sometimes nothing is more terrifying than stillness."...Amen sister. If the second worse case scenario is falling down, it's worth the effort!
From Elephant Journal, an article titled, The One Practice That's Holding Us Back. Are you practicing avoidance in your yoga practice? Do you chose to not go to a class that's going to take you out of your comfort zone?
Feeling stressed, a bit frazzled? Well I have something for you! A free Yoga Nidra practice! This is a 45 minutes restorative practice to help restore and relax the body. This comes to you from Yoga International, which also has another interesting video on an x-ray of yoga in motion. If you're a anatomy nerd like me, you may enjoy watching this short video. Honestly, I wish it was longer and showed more poses.
And, because everyone enjoys some infographic action, here are a couple on the benefits of yoga and how it changes your body. Also from Elephant Journal.
