Yoga for Balance and Confidence!

May 16, 2015 by Lucy Leave a Comment

Balance.  Isn’t it what we’re all looking for?  Work-life balance.  A balanced diet.  Steady emotions. That sweet spot of ease and contentment.  We search for it, strive for it, but how many of us have it sorted and under control?

I talk about finding balance a lot, in and out of classes.  Other than ‘being bendy’, the wild balancing poses are what many percieve yoga to be.  On the mat, it’s easy to find ourselves feeling frustrated and unaccomplished by our wobbling leg, our steely gaze burning a hole in the wall ahead as we try to attain the perfect Tree Pose…Bakasana…Natarajasana…without face-planting the wall/floor/person on the mat next to us!

But – ahh, Yoga – you multifaceted beauty!  Balancing poses challange and strengthen us physically but reveal so much more to us about our inner states of being.  Our energy levels, the busy-ness of our mind, the distractions we listen to, our ego bubbling up from within berating us if we fall – and getting cocky when we fly! Yoga is all about balance, but the poses are just the beginning.

The poses – all of them – can be a meditation.  Places and shapes and challenges from which to observe our body and the movements of our mind: our fears, our hopes. The stillness in between breaths.

The challenge isn’t about balancing on one leg, but finding the balance between holding on and letting go.

Practice balancing – and falling – with me in this full, 40 minute online class!  You’ve got this! We’ll catch you.  Stay playful, my friends, it’s only yoga :)

Would love to hear how you get on! Leave me a comment and let me know!

Keep practicing and stay frosty :) xx
