Yoga Off the Mat: during February, the month of love, the invitation is to focus on all the ingredients of self-love❤️. The #1 Self-care question is “What do I need right now?” Is it rest? Hydration? Activity? Nourishing food?? Ask and answer this question multiple times throughout the day, and notice what impact the practice has for you🥰. Wishing you a weekend of self-care😌

Yoga Off the Mat: Self-compassion has been defined as extending compassion to yourself in situations of perceived inadequacies, failure, or general suffering. This requires self-acceptance and is an important ingredient in self-love. This week I gave myself grace for not being able to accomplish everything I had intended to do. How do you show yourself compassion? 🤔❤️🥰

Yoga Off the Mat: It’s February, the month of LOVE❤️! And you can celebrate by practicing Self-Love all month long. It starts with Self-Awareness😌. Try this Sense Scan: sit, stand, or lie down comfortably. Soften your gaze or close your eyes if that’s comfortable for you. First notice anything you hear (sounds around you, your breath/heartbeat); notice anything you feel (sensations, temperatures, textures); focus on what you see (even with closed eyes! What colors, patterns, shapes do you notice? Or lack thereof?); taste your saliva—what are you aware of?; and breathe in the scents around you, or the smell of your own skin… When you’re back in your body, you have greater self-awareness, the first step towards self-love🥰

Yoga Off the Mat: As we roll through the first month of a new year, it’s not too late for self-reflection. What were your biggest accomplishments last year? Did you earn a degree or promotion? Run your first 5k/half marathon/marathon? Did you learn a new skill or make a new friend? Acknowledging our successes builds momentum for the future. You may know I published my first book last year. Looking back, what can you celebrate about 2024? I’d love to hear your thoughts! 🤗

Yoga Off the Mat: how’s your 2025 going so far? Have you set resolutions that are unrealistic and doomed to failure? If you’re not preparing for more Bliss😌, you may experience more Burnout🤬. So what does that look like? It includes time reserved on the calendar to reflect on goals and intentions for the coming year—subtly different from a resolution. For me, a natural introvert, it includes self-care of getting into the cool spaces in nature—making snow angels, and breathing crisp clean air. What seemingly small steps might you take towards enhanced self-care and Bliss?🤔🤗
