Apana Vayu (downward energy) Yoga To Start Your Day - Mo(o)nday, April 13th
Is everyone safe after the storms? Yikes! I’d like to say that Sadie The Pit Bull curled up next to me so she would feel safe, but it may have been the other way around. 😂

Ok, quick Ayurveda lesson: there are 5 ways in which energy moves in the body: Prana (intake), Apana (downward, elimination), Vyana (circulation), Udana (upward), and Samana (contractive, churning).
•
When we take in too much Prana (either through what we bring in with our senses, through experiences, what we breathe in, etc etc) and our bodies aren’t able to digest, we may feel the effects as anxiety, inability to focus, racing thoughts, etc. ##

This morning’s practice uses the Apana vayu to help balance out any excess prana by focusing on the downward, outward elimination of excess energy. It is a very grounding 20 minutes (99% of the class is on the sit bones!).

If you need to settle some energy, take 20 minutes and check it out! Link in bio (under Replays).
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxo!
As the uncertainty of the times continue, a consistent daily practice is going to become more and more important to help us keep in balance. What we do especially first thing in the morning can guide what kind of day we have and how prepared we are for surprises that arise.
To help start your day in a more centered way, please join us for a 20 minute grounding practice of movement and breath work.
