Morning Ritual: Go With the Flow and Glow
The second sheath in the yogic map of a human being is the “pranic body” or energetic body. This aspect of us is affected by everything that we take in or put out. When our energetic system is out of balance we might feel depleted, or we might feel overly activated. This practice consists of 15 minutes of guided breath work, visualization, fluid, gentle movement and mudra with the intention to get the energetic body harmonized and glowing while encouraging the mind to be present with life, one flowing breath at a time.
Morning Ritual: Energy & Determination Boost!
A short practice to quickly cultivate vitality when you’re feeling sluggish. Starting standing, we explore a powerful mudra to turn on our positive determination and personal power, move more dynamically with shaking (and maybe dancing) and close by choosing a thought that helps propel us toward taking useful actions.
Morning Ritual: Ground and Connect to a Sense of Safety
The yogic map of a human being consists of five sheaths (koshas) that we can work with to balance our system and connect with our true nature more often. The first sheath or layer is the physical body. For many of us, connecting with our physical body is a path to feeling more at ease because we become present, the only place life really exists. Use this morning ritual when you want to ground and calm a nervous mind and body and focus scattered attention.
Soothe an Anxious Mind and Body
A moderate practice that includes a toolbox of techniques that you can use to soothe a worried mind and nervous body.
