Asana (Movement):

Yoga asana helps to increase body awareness, deepen lung capacity, improve nerve function, release blocked emotions & pain, and create more ease & flow. Creating more space for yourself, physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically and reducing stress, anxiety, and fear. There are many gems of wisdom to be discovered when we slow down and listen to our bodies. Beyond the physical, yoga asana is a real-life game changer, I know, I know, this statement used to make me cringe too, but guess what? It’s true. How you might ask? We counteract the physical ramifications of our societal and experiential conditioning… opening our hearts when we might have spent our lives protecting them and thus impeding deep authentic connection, opening our hips to let go of the tight illusory grip of control we try to maintain on a life that is mostly uncertain. Through trying new asanas, falling and picking ourselves back up again, achieving postures we never thought we would do, we gain empowerment. Yoga is a gateway to deeper self discovery work. We learn so much about ourselves on the mat and can connect that to how we experience life and relate with the world.
