Live Virtual Yoga SCHEDULE for the week 7/20/2020 - 7/26/2020

“Conscious breathing is the best antidote to stress, anxiety and depression.” 
― Amit Ray

For centuries, yogis have used breath control [pranayama] to promote concentration and improve vitality. Buddha advocated breath-meditation as a way to reach enlightenment.

Scientific studies have demonstrated that breathing practices can help reduce symptoms associated with anxiety, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and attention deficit disorder. It's widely instituted now, the practice of mindful breathing at schools and workplaces.

Consciously changing the way you breathe sends signals to the brain to adjust the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system, which can slow heart rate and digestion and promote feelings of calm as well as the sympathetic system, which controls the release of stress hormones like cortisol [nature’s built-in alarm system].

So when we practice, why do we hold our breath? Why do you move quickly, speed up the breath or are not mindful of truly connecting breathe & movement? Ask yourself why are you practicing the opposite of control when we step onto the mat to bring a sense of order to our lives?

Here's a key to getting stronger in your practice, moving with fluidity, controlling your limbs when floating into poses, and lightly gliding the body into inversions and arm-balances... BREATHE with control! Per Yoga scholar Kelly Murphy, "If you feel yourself gasping for air or tension arises [during your yoga practice] in the jaw, throat or temples, it means you are working too aggressively," & not being functional to development of a mindful practice.

The ancient texts of yoga, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, says simply, “Breath is the key to ultimate emancipation.”
