I asked you last week and nobody said… Savasana.
But it is for many people! Story time 🙋🏽♀️
I still remember when I first started practising yoga, specifically “sports yoga” as it was called at my university. It was a paid PE class, once a week in a judo room. It smelled terribly, and there was zero meditation or breath awareness involved. At least as far as I remember. But we practised BEING at the end of each session. For 15 min we lied on the floor, one next to the other, sniffing the sweaty judo mats, looking up at the high ceiling, and staring at the clock nagging the clock arms to go faster. I’d move my eyes, return back to the clock after 5 min only to realize that 30 sec have passed. It was a horror.
And because I was practising between two sessions at uni, I was always hungry during that time and my stomach kept on rambling. One time I wasn’t alone, and someone else joined the Stomach Orchestra, but sure enough - we were embarrassed.
No one normalized that. No one! I felt so out of place at the end of each session. I don’t think I ever closed my eyes in Savasana during that first half year of yoga. I was as far from relaxed as it gets. My jittery spirit and the “go go go” approach to life kept me wide and awake in the physical co**se pose but mental “let’s get out of here now”.
There is another way.
And you can learn it too.
It’s not rocket science, nor is it pushing through. There’s a more subtle and more accessible way to approach the last part of the practice. You’ll learn all about it in my newest course It’s a work of 3 years put into a workshop that will have you reaching back again and again. We will meet on Zoom to make it accessible for people who aren’t in Warsaw, and there’ll be therapy and practice in those hours we spend together 💛sign up now with 60% discount!
