restorative Yoga & Pranayama for Winter Workshop
Our bodies are incredibly intelligent. The question is, are we paying attention to what our bodies are communicating?
When I was in college, I got sick at the end of every semester. Without fail, I would turn in my last final exam or paper, and I'd crash. It always seemed like it came on fast and without warning, but the truth is, my body was sending me signals for months that I kept ignoring. I pushed through fatigue, and ignored the stress that was building all semester, until eventually my body made me pay attention.
We've been conditioned to power through and to mask our symptoms, but symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, or pain, are actually important messages sent by our bodies. What if instead of ignoring them or pushing them away we actually listened to them? Or better yet, what if we invested in our wellness rather than pushing so hard that our bodies break down just to make us take a break?
I'm working on unlearning that habit of powering through, and learning to be grateful for symptoms. When I am tired, I thank my body for reminding me to rest, and I let myself rest. When I am having trouble concentrating, I thank my mind for asking for a break and I respect that request. I don't want to wait anymore for my symptoms to get too loud to ignore.
As the idiom goes, make time for wellness, or you will be forced to make time for sickness.
Winter is a really great time to slow down and to replenish our energy stores. I'm leading a special practice today specifically for winter that will leave you feeling rested, grounded, and renewed. I'd love for you to join me.
