Yoga Fix 30 - Day 4 - Vinyasa Flow to Strengthen Shoulders and Arms
Is it what you look at? Or what you see?
"Be careful how you interpret the world. It is like that"
-Eric Heller
Remember: you are the architect of your life. You're the author of your story and the director of your screenplay. You decide where to go, what to do, how to feel and most importantly, how to interpret to your circumstances.
It's day 4! Are you starting to feel the addiction take hold? I hope so! Here is today's affirmation. Remember to recite and/or write it at least 10 times:
"I am safe in the universe, and all life loves and supports me."
Additional "homework:" Meditate laying down or sitting up for 5 to 10 minutes and then write 3 pages of whatever comes to mind. Try not to censor yourself...
Love,
Lesley
Yoga Fix 30 - Day 6 - Total Yoga Body Workout
Know Thyself
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right."
-Henry Ford
Welcome to day 6. Today's practice is a little slower...slowing down is always a good idea. In fact, today's "homework" has to do with that:
Create some time in your schedule to relax. Take at least 5 minutes to do absolutely nothing. Sit comfortably or lie down and feel your body and mind relax. If it's too difficult to find the time, you're not alone. Keep at it. Try some Yoga Nidra if you can fit it into your schedule. I've included a video below that you can follow. Yoga Nidra is a wonderful way to cultivate some much-needed downtime. Taking time to slow down, relax and get quiet is the best way to get to know thyself!
Don't forget to practice your daily affirmation:
"I am a Divine expression of life. I love and accept myself where I am right now."
Love,
Lesley

Yoga Fix 30 - Day 13 - Total Body Vinyasa Flow
Practice and let go!
"The appearance of things changes according to the emotions and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves."
-Kahlil Gibran
Thank you for opening this message. I love that you're still participating in this 30-day program. Please, please, please do not worry if you're not doing it perfectly. If you miss a day, just continue as soon as you can. You many have heard me say, "just do your practice and let go of the results." In the Yoga Sutras, this is called "Abhyasa and Vairagya" Yoga is all about finding balance. We find balance in our physical bodies on the mat as we move through postures. We balance as we link our breath with our movement. We find the balance while generating heat in the body and then cooling it down. We must also remember to balance the mind by letting go of how we think things "should" be or what we think we should be able to achieve on our mats or in our lives. Just do your best. Don't you dare give up on yourself! Let the mysteries of yoga and life unfold as they will. Here is today's Louise Hay affirmation...it goes really well with Abhyasa and Vairagya:
"There is time and space for everything I need to do. I am at peace."
Additional "homework:" Get your journal out and write about something you were worried about recently and then how it resolved. Next, write about what your yoga practice was like when you first began and how it has evolved over time. What postures did you used to struggle with that have gotten easier? What are some things that you're struggling with now? How can you let go of the struggle? Finally, write down 10 things that you're grateful for.
Love,
Lesley

What scares you?
"Always go with the choice that scares you the most because that's the one that's going to require the most from you."
Thank you for reading my email!! Yay, you're still here!!! I'm overjoyed that you're feeding your addiction...to yoga! Seriously, you're doing an amazing job of creating a healthy habit for your life. Keep up the great work!
Repeat today's affirmation at least 10 times. It's a powerful one...Louise Hay was such an amazing woman!! Here it is:
"I am important. I count. I now care for and nourish myself with love and with joy"
Additional "homework:" Take some time to daydream about a life beyond your wildest dreams...even if the idea of how to get there scares you. Focus on the awesomeness of your dream-life. Spending time there will help you to co-create it!
Love,
Lesley
