How many times have you found yourself saying, “I’m too busy to fill in this blank?” Once a week? Once a day? Once an hour? We all want to live a full and beautiful life, but it is very important to cultivate a balance between action and relaxation. How about adding a quieter yoga to your repertoire this week?

Consider the five benefits of taking time to calm down:

1. soothe your nervous system

Slow down and put on a relaxed and restorative posture to encourage you to stay away from stress. For example, in a propped Vipariti Carani (leg-up position on the wall), your parasympathetic nervous system works to quickly relieve your stress level. If you have had a hard day, restorative yoga is a way to reset. Relaxation of the nervous system helps to maintain physical and mental health.

2. Enhance your physical acceptance

In the gentle yoga class, your attention shifts from “doing yoga” to “doing yoga”. Instead of sweating, your body can relax and become perfect. When you are not going anywhere, you have room to appreciate your body.

3. Strengthen your consciousness

Restorative and slow-paced yoga classes encourage you to turn inward and adjust your feelings. When you calm down and don’t need any action except breathing and relaxing, a sense of freedom will arise to examine your thoughts and emotions. You enter a safe space and tune in to your true self.

4. Let you prepare for deeper meditation and meditation

Many of us need to release the tension in our organization before we can calm ourselves down. Sweating Vinyasa course can relax muscles well, but so can quieter and slower exercises. On some days, when we experience extra stress, we need to deepen our understanding of quiet exercises. Before starting more formal meditation, you may be able to enter meditation in yoga.

5. Balance your perspective

Life is a dance between rest and work, softness and strength, yin and yang. When we make time to really relax and restore our body, mind and spirit, we will create more energy for the times we need. Imagine if you didn’t sleep at night? After a few days or even hours, you will collapse. Similarly, if you don’t allow yourself to calm down, you will be exhausted.

Allow yourself to release and surrender to keep balance. This week’s class will not only help your body, but also help you relax mentally. It is a mixture of different yoga styles and meditation classes.
