🧘‍♀️ Yoga Tip of the Month: Breathe!

“When the breath is unsteady, the mind is unsteady.” – Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Breathing might seem like the most natural thing in the world, but in yoga, breath becomes an intentional, powerful tool that links the body and the mind.

🌬️ Why Breath Matters in Yoga

In every yoga class, you’ve probably heard your instructor say “Don’t forget to breathe.” This isn’t just a reminder to stay alive — it’s a nudge to stay present.

Breath (pranayama) is one of the foundational limbs of yoga. It calms the nervous system, anchors the mind, and helps guide you safely in and out of poses. When you focus on your breathing, you deepen your connection to the present moment, and that’s where the magic of yoga truly begins.

🌟 Practice Tip: Breathe Into the Pose

• Inhale to create space: As you breathe in, imagine your lungs expanding and your body softening.

• Exhale to release: Let go of tension, stress, and resistance as you exhale.

• Allow your breath to guide your movement: Especially in Vinyasa or flow classes, let each inhale and exhale lead the transition from one pose to another.

Try this: Next time you’re in a pose, ask yourself — Can I breathe more fully here?
