Yoga is a powerful practice! Improve your physical, mental, and emotional bodies with a consistent practice. Learn more about what yoga can offer you!

Yoga for every BODY is a desire that runs deep within me and is why I started this blog and do what I do.  You see, there seems to be a misunderstanding with many that one must be thin, young, and flexible to practice yoga.  This misunderstanding however, is just that, a misunderstanding.  My offering to you is a simple, approachable yoga session that can be adapted to fit your body where it is today.

Details

Asana can be modified to be achievable for all shapes, sizes, and ages.  Practicing movement with the connection of breathe offers the magic that is “The Yoga.”  Breathing in through the nose and out through the nose with the flow of the movements is so healing and satisfying.  The video below offers basic yoga movements with modifications that promises to make you feel more at ease in your body.  Unquestionably, the habit of moving the body with a daily yoga practice is a habit worth practicing!

Materials Needed

  • Comfortable clothing (leggings not a requirement).  Wear clothing that allows you to move with ease.
  • Supportive Surface (A mat is nice but practice with what you have).  Hardwood or laminate flooring or carpet work fine.
  • A Positive Attitude!  Be receptive to the practice.  Don’t take yourself too serious and roll with it! Just like most things in life, the more you practice, the better you become!
