Neurogenic Yoga practice
I did a NEUROGENIC YOGA PRACTICE today and I love it. But I am not going to lie, sometimes it can be very hard for me to slow down and it was hard for me in the beginning. As we went through the practice I felt better and didn’t try to hurry things up, but it is how I have been for a long time and I am really working on this for myself. Not everything has to be fast. I want to feel my body and understand and feel how it feels and what it is telling me.
As we move through the practice waking up different muscles in our body preparing to tremor, the exercises are not hard at all. They are soft and gentle and I worked within my own body and felt very good. It is very subtle. I love goddess and horse pose the most and right now I say to myself that I will always include this into my practice and when I teach. For me, it is very empowering and I feel very alive when I go in between these poses. It feels good and I feel very powerful in them. Not physically, but in a sense of knowing and understanding it feels good in my body and mind.
I almost fell asleep at the end! LOL :)
When we got to the shaking while standing…..I LOVE THIS! I loved this the first time I did it in training. It feels so good and I feel so alive while my body is doing its thing. It is funny, because the first time in training when Jennica did this I was like what the heck? I was just bending my knees and going up and down. LOL! Then I understood what she was saying and then my body took over.
For me, letting my body take over is amazing and trusting and beautiful. My body will do what it needs to do. I sense that this healing will help me to learn to trust myself more as well. If I can let go and let my body do its thing and trust it like I never have….can that trust in myself be that much further along? When I say trust myself I mean the inner knowing. In so many ways I have this inner knowing my entire life, but when it comes to certain things I get myself stuck. Maybe it is because I don’t want to hurt someone, or make that big decision? I will figure this out in time, but for now I know that I will be trusting myself more and more as I heal. That I do know.
I shook standing up and it was fun and went through the rest of the practice until the official shaking. I didn’t do much. I was tired, but I did a little and I let my body do its thing while laying on the ground. It always feels good to shake it up!
I cannot wait to teach!
