    A mindful approach to mindful yoga

    “Mindful Yoga” is an invitation to slow down and meet your experience with curiosity, honesty, and kindness.

    How mindfulness can help

    Mindfulness offers a steady place to stand while you work with any topic. Instead of being carried along by reaction, we notice what is here, sensations, thoughts, and feelings, and respond from presence rather than pressure.

    Gentle steps to try

    1. Begin with the breath. You might take three slow breaths before opening the worksheet, and let the body arrive.
    2. Read with curiosity. Move through each prompt slowly. Notice which questions soften you and which ones tighten you.
    3. Write what is true now. There are no right answers, only honest ones. What is true at this moment is what the worksheet is asking for.
    4. Close with one breath. When you finish, pause. You might place a hand on your heart and thank yourself for showing up.

    Insight does not arrive on a schedule. Trust the practice of returning, and the honesty you bring each time you do.

    A note from Sean

    Try this today. Lie on your back with your arms by your sides, palms up, and breathe naturally for a few breaths. Then breathe in and sweep your arms overhead along the floor, and breathe out and sweep them back down. Do three rounds, slowly, and notice what your body feels like.

    This suits beginners and anyone who finds sitting still hard. Everyone’s body is different, so move slowly and stay inside what yours can do. If a posture hurts, come out of it early, and skip any posture you cannot do. If you have an injury or a medical condition, check with your doctor first. If strong feelings come up, go gently. Stop when you need to.
