There is always enough time

Today we navigate the energy of patience via stillness and presence. Yin is a patient practice, but even though it may feel like time has paused, there is still energetic movement. Begin with a reading from Living Your Yoga and a breath practice for patience. Then enjoy some time on the back for half moon and happy baby, followed by a long hold in straddle and reclined butterfly. This is a sweet and familiar sequence that will help you retreat from the rush and have a moment of just pure being.

Props: bolster, two blocks, blanket

Benefits: slowing down, deep stretch, relaxation and calm, focused awareness, hips and hamstrings, torso, finding time

Living Your Yoga embodiment practice: Just for fun, choose the longest line at the bank or the grocery store. Breathe slowly and pay attention to your bodily sensations. Your willingness to focus on your impatience will eventually reconnect you with the reality that everything is moving at the proper speed.

Mantra for Daily Living: There is always enough time.
