The Gift of Yoga & Meditation Colette Marie

Follow along with the breathing pattern presented in this podcast episode, to help you make a connection to your own breath pattern and also to help you slip seamlessly into a meditative state.

Today’s practice is centered around Mindful Breathing. It is a breathing practice that will help settle the mind, allow your thoughts to slow down, invite calm and relaxation to both the body and the mind, while establishing a deep connection to the way in which you breath.

Today’s practice is a Vinyasa yoga style practice with a special intention set at the beginning that will be reiterated throughout. Yoga props include blocks and a bolster if needed.

Today’s practice is an unscripted free flowing vinyasa flow practice. All you need to do is simply show up to your mat and let the practice guide you along. Props include 2 yoga blocks.

Today’s practice will focus on long hold times in various postures to help release tension and tightness in the hips and hamstrings, as well as the lower back. This will be a restorative yoga practice, therefore, all necessary props will be appropriate incorporated such as a bolster, head pillow, eye pillow, blanket and yoga strap.

Today’s yoga practice is a 50/50 flow, meaning half of our practice will be dedicated to a nice rigorous flow of movement coupled with our Ujjayi breathing. The second half of our practice will be dedicated to yin yoga, with long hold times, in each posture to thoroughly tap into the hips and hamstrings, groin and quads. Yoga props are recommended to help facilitate certain postures for added comfort and ease.
