Hello Beautiful ones. I appreciate you for taking a minute or two to read about the little nuggets that I find along the way on my Journey to Zen. As a business owner, its quite cathartic to come here to release and rejuvenate my spirit by sharing a little of me with you. This blog originally started out in my head to be a source for sharing my yoga journey and the beauty I find in the practice. Instead I have decided to just let the present moments lead me in my writing and just go with the flow of what pours out from my heart to the pages of this blog. Today I will speak Yoga and tell you about one of my favorite poses. I must say the first time that I did it, I felt a little exposed and a tad bit self conscious. It took me all the way back to the birth of my son. Truth is I LOVE this pose because not only does it loosen up my hips but it stretches out my inner thigh and groin muscles that don’t typically come in to play while I’m sitting at my desk handling business all day. The benefits of this lovely pose is that it will gently stretch the inner groins and the back along the spine. It calms the brain and helps relieve stress and fatigue.
I think of the little babies always seemingly fixated with grabbing their little tootsies and the bubbly smiles they have on their little faces while doing so. I have to admit at my age it brings a broad smile to my face as well. Why?? Because I can still reach both of my tootsies at the same time. Oh yes my muscles put up a little fuss and resist sometimes but eventually, breathing into the pose gives way to that opposition and the resistance just melts away. So next time you have a really hectic day where any and everything plucks your last nerve. Come on home, kick off your shoes, lay back on the floor or the bed and grab those tootsies. Let go of the day’s stress and return to the happy little baby that still resides somewhere deep inside all of us. Your brain and your body will love you for it. Ananda Balasana
