Yoga Life

Aurélie De Meyst

re-exploring the connection to my body ~ since being in Ericeira I have been doing many more different forms (cross training, Pilates, dancing..) of movement and much less asana practice than I’m used to. —this changes my time on the mat so much. every movement feels different. —it’s amazing to feel the difference in sensations, especially in postures that I would feel really comfortable in before and feel more challenged in now. —i’m definitely feeling more tight through the hip flexors and shoulders. but at the same time feeling much more strong through my core and glutes. —it changes how I connect to my breath throughout holding an asana, it changes how I move from one asana to the next, it changes how i talk to myself on the mat and it impacts how I feel after practice. —i especially have been feeling this difference in my back bends. and this awareness (and growth of awareness) is what defines yoga for me always a date with myself, getting to know myself a little better again every day. be it physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually . . #yoga #dailypractice #movementtype #movingwithawareness #selfcare #slefgrowth #reflecting #yogilife #yogilifestyle #ericeira #ericeiralife
