WINTER 2019 | Week 6 - FULL BODY BREATH | Spring Yoga Session PRE-REGISTRATIONS

Published: Fri, 02/22/19

Hey ,

As you know, February is the BREATH MONTH at Satori Yoga.

We already started to shift our focus to the energizing part of our breath cycle - the inhale. Below is a great video that can help you visualize both parts of the breathing cycle and full body breathing in a more detail.

The most important thing to remember about human breathing apparatus is that it is built to be exceptionally adaptable. A healthy, resilient respiratory system adjusts easily to the demands of our current situation - whether we are fast asleep or climbing a steep hill.

Trouble happens when we get stuck - either through postural tension or habits (and likely both!) - and lose this ability to adapt and respond with resilience!

This week's e-Lessons:

Pain Care Yoga | e-Lesson 5 | Sa-Ta-Na-Ma Breathing

Core Restore | e-Lesson 5 | Breath, Stability. Lateral Breathing.

Watch the video to get the visual of full - body breath movement:

3 important heads up for this video:

1. 'tis in French, but the visuals are excellent, so don't be worried about the language barrier.

2. We do not need to full - body breathe all of the time, but we do need to have an ability to recruit our breathing system to respond to the demands of the situation. If your breathing is stuck in one mode all of the time, both the nervous and the muscular systems re-pattern themselves and limit your ability to breathe fully.

3. Back ribs do not seem to move in this video, yet in really full body breathing, back ribs also do expand.

And now springing into spring!

Ayurvedic theme for this yoga semester is "From Pain To Performance."

We will focus on building a sustainable practice that supports our progress (everyone wants to move more when spring weather arrives!) while minimizing the potential for flare ups and injuries.

With that idea in mind, I am introducing yet another change to Satori roster: Core Restore classes will now be offered in Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced curriculum. This is to support students currently enrolled in Core Restore classes and also to make room for increasing demand in Core Restore classes.

More on that in the weeks to come.

Here is the important spring yoga registration stuff:
