If you’re feeling lonely, lost or need to focus your mind,
Using So Hum mantra is the ideal technique to quiet the mind and provides a greater sense of connection to self and to universal energy.
This short 7 minute meditation is a great way to start your journey with So Hum if you haven’t tried it before or if you only have a few minutes for yourself.
If you’re unfamiliar, So Hum is a repeated mantra that translates in English to “I Am That’. In this case, “that” refers to all of creation or the universe.
Mentally, mantras are a technique to focus the mind.
On the spiritual level, when you repeat this mantra, you are essentially connecting to universal energy which continually nourishes and supports us.
So, this mantra combined with your breath is wonderful to use anytime you’re feeling lonely, lost or need to focus your mind.
I’ve provided two options for you in this breathing meditation.
If you’re uncomfortable using the Sanskrit term, “So Hum”, then use the English translation, “I am”. Oh, and by the way — it’s okay if you don’t resonate with the mantra; it is simply a technique to focus the mind and slow the thoughts for a better connection to yourself.
Testing Your Boundaries tests your balance, strength, flexibility, endurance, AND your mind body connection.
This explores playing between easy & hard and finding your greatest potential. Notice what your mind thinks compared to what your body can do. The saying “Mind Over Matter” applies here.
Do your best not push beyond what you can handle, instead, bring yourself right up to it and take notice of what comes up emotionally and mentally.
Come back to this practice often to see how your boundaries change over time.

Then do Yoga in Your Chair. (I won’t tell your boss ????)
This 11 min flow only requires you, me, and your stationary chair for back, neck, and hip pain relief.
When working at your desk, there’s a tendency to fold forward causing tension and pain in the back, neck, and hips—Especially if the ergonomics are off.
This Hatha style yoga class moves through poses to ease those aches & pains to refresh your mind & body.
Pop in your earbuds, kick off your shoes, and let’s get refreshed!
Chair Without Wheels
(If you only have a rolly chair, do your best not to roll away!)

In a slump?
