Slow down. Pause. Take a deep breath. Ask yourself, “What do I need right now?” Notice how much more present, centered, and in touch with yourself you feel.

Sometimes we move so quickly through life that we forget to take the time to enjoy deep, calming breaths…. And they are so important! When we restrict our breath or forget to breath, we hold onto feelings of tightness, stuckness, or fear. When we bring prana or life force into our bodies we feel more in tune, intuitive, and whole and the more our awareness expands.

  • How can your breath change your life?

Guest BIO:

In 2009 JIll Novak took her first 250 hours of Teacher Training with the Yoga Studio College of Canada, with great emphasis on alignment and accessibility for all bodies. For the last year she has been training and practicing Yoga Therapy. She loves the concept of working toward what is right for your body regardless of what the pose looks like on the outside; it is how it feels on the inside that counts. She believes that if  we can connect people to that feeling then we are starting to live more firmly in our bodies; this is yoga.
