☀️✨“People, even more than things, need to be restored, renewed, and revived. When we restore balance in our own lives, this in turn brings balance & healing to the world.”
~Audrey Hepburn and Deepak Chopra.
🍁 🦃 💤 Hello beautiful souls! In today’s class, (we weren’t really outside, we were in a yummy toasty 90° studio, but this photo just truly fit for today’s theme!😂) We dove into restoration following our Thanksgiving holiday! I know we all needed that hour for ourselves, to let the planning, preparing, hosting, cooking, cleaning, driving, flying, entertaining…to all simply melt away. I loved these two quotes I found from Audrey Hepburn & Deepak Chopra, and blended them together, the perfect message for today. REST. RESTORE. We can’t go go go all the time. We will fall, we will burn out. We will become agitated, exhausted, sour.., no good for those around us that we love. We have to make the time for self care. So we did just that for a full hour. Not enough time for some, but it’s a step in the healing direction. Especially, as the Christmas season begins soon! Make the time for yourselves dear friends!
🍁✨We opened on our bellies, the ultimate restorative pose, filling our lungs with peace, lowering the heart rate. We moved in yummy ways, opened our heart & lungs with thankfulness for having spent time with loved ones, now taking time for ourselves. Somatic experiencing gave us tools to regulate our own nervous system! We stimulated our vagus nerve, relayed the messages from the body to the brain that it can now relax, it is no longer in a continuous active state (fight mode) and can now calm. We healed with reiki & shed the false layers we’ve accumulated: judgement, self-doubt, worry, stress, comparison, unworthiness. Yoga helps us shed what we no longer need, so we may see our most honest selves!
🍂✨That’s what I LOVE about yoga, it nourishes the body, heals the mind, & renews the soul! What we do on the mat, transforms our life off the mat! It is beautiful!!
