On Detoxification in Yoga

I’m still cooling from my most recent yoga class. I have been contemplating all day whether to take a class tonight or to forgo it and do another 2 hour session on thursday. I decided to go to the Detox Yoga class with Bobby. I’m so glad I did. For as much as I loved her Gentle Yoga class (and God knows that I needed it last week) I got so much more from tonights session. 


I’m warm, I’m comfortable. I’m feeling a released from all of those things that life has given me stress about. At least for this evening. I plan on carrying this feeling through the evening. Holding onto myself. As I am Present. 


I did find the detox yoga challenging but I was able to make my way into comfort with the poses and relaxing. Learning constantly to stay within the flow of my breath through the cycle. So much heat and warmth and wringing out through my inner body. 


I also learned lion breath and it’s almost as nice as humming bee breath. I will do this class again. I feel so much better about my own practice. But I have to mention that upon coming out of class I felt as though I should be much gentler on my body for the evening. Everything is loose and flexible and jarring movement may take me out of this pleasant mode. 


Namaste.
