The theme of our yoga classes in the last few days has been following the breath deep within ourselves. As you inhale through the nose, feel the breath travel down through the back of the throat and enter the chest. Keep following the breath until it leads you to that place of constancy and peace. Everyone has that centred place, deep within the body. This place is one of inherent wisdom, where all answers are available. This place stays calm amidst the chaos. This place intimately trusts that we are all connected and part of a universal ebb & flow. This place knows that all is just exactly as it should be and we can release our constant need to control and plan.
When on the yoga mat, we get ourselves into some pretty challenging physical positions. And we stop, and we breathe, and we surrender to the body's own intuition and wisdom. This practice teaches us to utilize the breath to steady us under all sorts of challenging circumstances.
So as you venture out today into that chaotic world of ours, and inevitably the crises hit... remember our practice. It doesn't only happen on the mat. It happens every breath of our lives. Breathe.
