Juicy Savasana


What is the purpose of yoga but to create that sensation of flow? Even if you are going into a gentle practice, doesn't it restore that juicy feeling within yourself? Why is this? What is it about yoga that you can't quite get enough of? Why is yoga so healing? It is not just a trend. You may be into it today, and not next year, but your body will thank you for staying into yoga.

Flexibility is key for maintaining radiant health and youthfulness. A flexible body encourages a flexible mind which offers a refreshment of perspective. When you walk into yoga class in one mood, thinking perhaps about the day, what goes on from when you are on the mat until you leave once again? Magic. Intentional juiciness. Flow with spirit. Even if you do not take the time to cultivate gratitude, your yoga practice is still an act of devotion that impacts people in your life. Especially when you set an intention. Yoga teachers often times remind us to set an intention, even as simple as bringing your hands together at your heart center is an aknowledgement of self-love. Even if you don't hear it from your teacher throughout class, you are receiving the subtle benefits of mindfully cultivating a sense of compassion for yourself when you practice yoga. The intention can feed the benefits, and isn't awakening and feeling better a natural by-product of practicing yoga? From there, what is this juicy sensation that yoga creates within and all around us?

Could it be the prana, the natural life force coursing through the veins that feels so unbelievable after a yoga practice? Or is it just the feeling that you are free from the bondage of self that creates the juicy sensation? Perhaps it is both. Perhaps it is the energy that you put into your yoga is giving you vitality, as well as feeding others in your life. The more you yoga, the more others in your path will naturally be drawn to your light. Allow the juiciness to resonate with you in your life. Step on your mat and pray. And when you are complete with your practice, roll up your mat, mindfully carrying the juicy feeling into your life as you flow with grace and ease. Keep coming back to open to greater love each day through your yoga.
