      Embrace the Practice of Hygge This Winter

      The approach of the Winter Solstice is a time that, evolutionarily, mammals (including humans) naturally want to go inward (as in hibernation). In our culture, this natural tendency is at odds with the busyness of the holidays and year end. We often resist the colder temperatures and shorter days by contracting our energy, which can leave us feeling down in the dumps. Alternatively, we can cultivate a wintertime practice (or concept) called Hygge (pronounced Hughga).

#MondayMantra -Yoga Off The Mat

by

Yoga is synonymous with flexibility. But yoga isn’t just about flexibility of the body. Yoga is about flexibility of the body and the mind. And we need both to live life energetically, with ease and vitality!

People with flexible minds are resilient and adaptable. They bounce back more easily from hardship and, more often than not, perceive challenges as opportunities.

Like flexibility in the body, a flexible mind is an attitude that can be cultivated with practice. The physical practice of yoga allows us to practice adaptability and increases our metal flexibility.

As you flow through postures, notice your thoughts – How do they change from one breath to the next? What are you saying to yourself? How do you react when you fall out of posture? Where are you able to change ingrained patterns of thinking? Seeing how you can adapt to evolving situations on your mat with positivity and resilience, and let go pre-set responses that no longer serve you, allows you to be more adaptable and resilient off your mat!

Learn how to fix the #1 mistake you are making in yoga practice-by Vyda Bielkus

by

In vinyasa or flow style yoga we open up the practice with the ubiquitous Sun Salutations: High-push Up, Low-push Up, Upward Dog, Downward Dog. It’s a great way to open up the whole body and start to clear away resistance and stress. However, this is also the part of the practice where you are probably making a very common mistake and do not even realize it. One of the poses to master in Sun Salutations is Low-push Up or Chaturanga and the transitions that accompany this pose. What we yoga teachers know is that this is one of the biggest struggles people have in the practice and mistakes abound.

People struggle with the correct hand placement and how to move from High to Low Push Up with ease. Watch this video to learn how to approach the pose with new perspective. Bring these tips to your mat the next time you practice.
