Breathing with intention is one of the most simple, yet powerful things we can do to bring about greater love for ourselves and others.
Try taking 3 deep breaths, fully aware of the air moving in through your nostrils, filling up your belly, ribs and lastly your chest. Pausing slightly, before emptying your lungs, allowing the breath to soften any tension.
I love this reminder to breathe with love, to make the often automatic act of breathing something conscious. Try it, and see if you notice a change in your energy perhaps how you feel about yourself or those around you. 💗

I found this to be a beautiful, simple practice to start or end the day. Sit, take a mudra, close the eyes and let the rest be taken care of. 🧘‍♀️

Mudra is a Sanskrit word that can mean seal or gesture, which is used in conjunction with the breath to affect energy flow and mood. 🙋‍♀️

Here, Apan Vayu Mudra accompanies a five-minute meditation to help deepen breath connection and open the heart space. 💗

The practice ends with this positive intention that you can carry through to your day or evening. 👇

Enjoy xx

🧘‍♀️Each practice begins with the breath🧘‍♀️
Closing down the eyes, drawing inwards, just noticing the natural rise and fall. Hand to heart, hand to belly. In and out.

Nothing fancy, simply breathing.

"I am breathing in, I am breathing out."

I start each morning this way, and each yoga class. Sitting or lying down. Wherever is comfortable.

With an in breath, the mind is bought back to the body.

It's a chance to reconnect. To release attachment to the chatter of the mind, let thoughts of the past or future come and go.

In this space, we don't need to "do" anything. Except surrender to this moment.

In this moment, breathing mindfully, you become alive in the here and now.

What a beautiful opportunity to set an intention for the day! Let this intention guide you through your yoga practice, and flow through your day.

Choose the energy you wish to transmit.

Feel it within, and express it out.

Trust that you have the power to shape how you see, feel and be in this world.

It all starts with the breath.💗
