Feeling depleted but also like you need to move? This week we'll make our way through a creative vinyasa practice focused on getting grounded. For the last part of class we'll explore basic breath awareness as well as a specific pranayama practice designed to promote deep rest and relaxation as you transition into savasana. Expect a little more time to linger in rest at the end of class this week. โค๏ธ Two opportunities to practice this week @blooming_life_yoga โค๏ธ Both will be offered in person and livestream. . โค๏ธ Wednesday 6:15-7:30pm ET โค๏ธ Saturday 8-9am ET โค๏ธ sign up at https://www.bloominglifeyoga.com/classes . #kiragraceyoga #amazingkiragrace #kiragrace #goldengemini #goldengeminiyoga #breathe #getgrounded #pranayama #onlineyoga #practiceandalliscoming #vagusnerve ๐ธ: @aniconicphoto โค๏ธ (at Blooming Life Yoga Studio + School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEm4ZldjXQ5/?igshid=efgw8u2o9f12

New research adds to the growing evidence that happiness not only feels good, it is good for your physical health too!๐๐๐ . In a newly published paper by Kushlev et al (2020), the authors collected data from 155 adults aged 25-75. Participants were randomly assigned to two conditions: a control group or a 12-week positive psychological intervention that addressed three sources of happiness. The intervention phases helped individuals (1) identify their personal values, strengths, and goals; (2) identify maladaptive patterns of thinking; and (3) cultivate gratitude, foster positive social interactions, and engage more with their community. Importantly, no module in the intervention focused on promoting physical health or health behaviors (like sleep, exercise, or diet). They did, however, ask participants to journal and follow guided meditation. . Three months after the end of the intervention, researchers followed up to evaluate well-being and health. Participants in the intervention reported increased levels of subjective well-being and reported fewer sick days relative to controls. . โOverall, increasing the psychological well-being of even generally healthy adults can benefit their physical health.โ - Kostadin Kushlev (Georgetown University) .

What does the word โconnectionโ mean to you? Connection to your breath? To your community? To your body? To your actions? Iโve always resonated with the definition of connection offered by @brenebrown ... ๐ฆ โConnection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.โ ๐ฆ To me, I can apply this definition across many levels. What about you? How are you creating meaningful connections during this pandemic? ๐ฆ Wearing new @kiragraceyoga from the Persian Tile collection.

"Transform. Growing and changing isn't easy my beautiful friend; transformation never is.... There are going to be moments that break your heart. There will be days when you reach your breaking point. There will be times when you just can't hold on any longer... But do it. Hold on just a little longer. Know that you are in the process of becoming. Trust that you are changing and growing and becoming so much stronger. Know that you are transforming from the inside out into who you are meant to become. It might take time, it might bring you to your knees, but it will be worth it. It always is." Nikki Banas | Walk the Earth . This one curled around my heart, soul, and mind today. โค๏ธ What about you? .

My motto this week? Every breath is an opportunity to start over. To begin again. Did you know that the breath is one of the most accessible avenues to your nervous system? The breath can calm us or invigorate us and can be such a powerful tool for our stress repaonse. Weโll be exploring this in class this week too! ๐ฆ My teaching schedule is a little different this week because my youngest turns 16(!!!) this week and I wanted to spend his birthday evening with him. But I have another cool offering instead. So here goes! ๐ฆ ๐ฆTuesday 6-7:15pm ET @simplyyogaindy - sign up at www.simplyyogaindy/schedule ๐ฆlink will be sent 30 minutes before class ๐ฆ ๐ฆ Saturday 12pm ET live class for @kiragraceyoga for their Rising Together Live series.
