Dayleeoga Day 9 | Because Day 9 is magical, trust me… Flow Yoga to Energize
Funny, I was glancing at my notes earlier in the week and I noticed a big gap in “Deep Thoughts” until Day 9 the first time I did this challenge. This class is perfect, and that’s not just the endorphins talking. For me, a class like this is the perfect mix between motion and meditation. A few deep stretches, a bunch of sun salutations to get the heart pumping but at a pace where you can maintain a deep steady breath. Every motion in this class is synced with an inhale or exhale, so it really allows me to dial in and focus on what I’m doing and get the most of each pose.
A huge tip for “dialing-in” that I wish I had learned sooner was to practice with wireless headphones in. I got a super inexpensive (like $12 or $15 bucks) pair on amazon about 2 years ago for dog walking, but once I started using them in yoga. it was a game changer. For me, even if the class doesn’t have music, the outside noise canceling effect allows me to block out all outside noise and feel somehow a lot less self-conscious about what I’m doing. It really helps, if you can grab a pair I’d highly suggest it.
I’m also pretty pleased that I was able to keep up with the full expression of every pose without any modifications, or stopping to rest in child’s pose instead of finishing out the sun salutation. That’s huge for me. I remember not too long ago needing more frequent breaks for fear I’d strain my back or neck, straining to make up for a lack of core strength.
Deep thoughts?
Today I had the overwhelming feeling that I was safe, and that all my immediate needs were taken care of. Really it's true. I've got food and shelter and warm clothes for the changing season. When I think of things in that perspective, most of my anxiety just melts away and it's replaced with contentment and greatfulness. <3
Yay Day 9! I see you! Being all awesome and stuff! I want to give a special shout out to @bynaomi and @lenadr who’ve decided to jump in and start their 30day challenges as well! Super rad, you go ladies!
Love & light,
<3 Dayleeoga

Woot! Sounds like the yoga is starting to sink into your brain. And only day nine! Nice.
I wonder, is it cheating to do two videos a day until I catch up to you? :)
