We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves, or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing. - Charles Schaefer Ever wonder why you feel more relaxed, at ease and find a sense of relief after a session of purposeful play? It's scientifically proven how our bodies release tension, our mental state and ability to reason are at higher levels of cognition, and our social interactions are enhanced and more functional after being playful and/or letting loose physically and inviting playfulness during exercise or work.
Do you find yourself being tense all the time in your practice? Here's a cheat-code for your asana (poses) and pranayama (breathing) practice... stop trying to engage every muscle to a point of tightness, invite some sweetness into your sessions and even be PLAYFUL, especially when arm balancing or inverting. I often say in class, "our mats are our playgrounds and sandbox to play in." That's when we have opportunities to channel our inner youth and hone our practice with a sense of lightness that children engage in in their formative years, when humans develop the most. This week... step onto your mat with an intention to have fun and watch your practice grow and blossom into something different. And instead of always going hard thinking you are working your muscles, invite sweetness and play so in actuality, the muscular engagement and opportunities to ease into more difficult poses can be achieved. I often see students cursing or being disappointed in themselves when they fall out of poses or concentrating so fiercely, they become tighter, more exasperated and can't access poses being performed. BE PLAYFUL! At the end of the day, if we are working together creating weird shapes with our bodies and breathing funny. Even catch yourself being too serious and see the humor in it.
