Light Your Inner Fire

DHARMA TALK - VERONA YOGA STUDIO

With the wetness and the the cold of the late winter season settling in, it is easy to feel sluggish and demotivated.  It is easy for us to retreat back to our homey place and call it a day.  In our daily lives, we normally stick with what's familiar and comforting.  The less effort, the better.  But what if we did the exact opposite and get fired back up?  What if we fight our inner instincts and motivate ourselves to move and get ourselves out of that deep, dark place that seemed so comforting and familiar?  What if we build on the positive energies we have stored within us to pacify the negative effects of this late winter season?

This week's practice was designed to fire you right back up!  I encourage you to notice how your body feels in core strengthening poses, balances and repetitions.  Engage your core muscles as much as you can and see how light this makes you feel in certain poses.  Your core after all is the seat of your solar plexus chakra - our inner sun, our center of empowerment and willpower, our fire element.  We cannot do without it on our journey towards transformation and renewal.
