February is the BREATH MONTH at Satori Yoga.
On the mat, we will expand on breathing practices that we started to employ in January. You already know that smoothing and evening the breathing can lead to a more relaxed state of being. But can we also use the breath to energize ourselves - and to move this heavy late-winter energy up, up, UP and OUT?
This month's e-Lessons are centered around breathing:
Did you know that:
- Healthy breathing creates a vital structural support for your back (especially lumbar spine) as well as your shoulders.
- Healthy breathing relaxes tight neck muscles, can prevent reoccurring headaches and migraines, as well as assist a better thyroid function.
- Healthy breathing can release mid-back tension.
- Healthy breathing massages (no joke!) your heart, lungs, as well as your digestive organs, assisting better digestion and elimination.
- Healthy breathing patterns are absolutely necessary in the prevention + treatment of pelvic floor disorders.
