Testing Your Boundaries – 65 min

by HJahnAdmin | Oct 23, 2022

Testing Your Boundaries

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.

Repetition for Depth

Explore the depth of repetition in 37 min…

Repetition allows us to discover more depth in our practice.
The depth is not just physical;
it’s also about deepening the understanding of the breath/body connection;once you know what comes next physically, the mind can settle into the rhythm of breath to create a “zen”, calm sensation.

A good soundtrack doesn’t hurt either.

Introspective Static Yoga Practice

Welcome to 55 min of pure ‘you time’…

Need some time to yourself?
Step onto your mat to escape and replenish your energy.

This introspective, static practice will keep the dristri, or the focus of the eyes, in positions that keeps our energy inward to keep all that good energy for taking care of ourselves.

The static part means that we’re going to hold the poses for roughly a minute at a time.

This style of practice provides the opportunity to check in with the nuances in each asana as well as observing what comes up in our thoughts. And lastly, the static practice helps to create heat and strength.

Blocks, Bolster or Pillows for Savasana
