Take Time to Just Breathe

The most important pieces of equipment you need for doing yoga are your body and your mind. - Rodney Yee

Tonight’s practice will be day four of yoga in a row. I had forgotten how good it feels to practice it that often. Many people have asked if it has helped me be more flexible. I suppose it has, but I was still the most inflexible person at my yoga fit training class last spring. And I was the only instructor-in-training to use props. I know that I feel better, and I get less headaches and backaches because I practice yoga. I also have better posture and balance and core strength. But the true benefit for me is the chance to sit for a bit, to quiet my mind, and to concentrate on breathing. Somehow things are always clearer when I leave yoga...when I have taken the time to just breathe.
