Meditative, gentle movement and breath work. Clear your mind, focus on the moves and tune into your chi. Improves balance and connection with the earth.
Great to do alone or with a group when everyone has learned the moves. Plus the moves have cool names like “parting the wild horse’s mane”, “grasp the sparrow’s tail”, and “snake creeps down”.

Anything that plays with balance is fun. And I liked tracking my journey of improvement in crow
My fav part is when teachers would do guided meditation or breathing together in savasana. Half the reason I was taking these classes was to manage my anxiety and that helped.

Start with doing yoga as a moving meditation. Yin Yoga or Yoga Nidra might be a very soft introduction to bring your mind & body into a meditative state. Lie down at the end, take your time and start appreciating Shavasana.
Start feeling every body part at once by simply putting all your mental energy & thoughts into a specific area of your body. Start with your feet, move on to your knees, your stomach, chest, arms, fingers. End with your head. Start to feel thoughts as clouds passing by. After some tries you find your mind empty, released & at ease.
Every time is different. Some times it will feel very easy, on some days you won’t feel it working at all - But still you stopped 5 minutes from doing whatsoever, switched off your brain for a bit. It will help you feel calm on the long run 💎

wowowow I watched this for the first time last night and loved it. I knew it was groundbreaking at the time, but what I didn’t expect was to see such a beautiful variety of landscapes and for it be have such romance.
The choreography is insane and it was so refreshing to watch action that isnt cgi to the max.

No problem getting to work/important appointments on time but any leisure or social plans? Expect me to show up fashionably (some would say frustratingly) late.
