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

I am so proud of you!

"...don't stay timid. Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people day, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who won't risk the ocean."
-Rumi

Congratulations! I'm so proud of you for being here and going through this journey with me. I hope you're proud of yourself too! Whether you made it through in 30 days or it took longer, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you showed up for yourself. You got onto your mat, moved through the postures as best you could and focused on your breath. The breath focus is where the magic happens! Poses come and poses go, but the breath is constant. Think back to day 1 and how you felt. Notice if there are any differences. I bet you feel physically stronger! I also bet that you're feeling calmer, more centered, and peaceful. You probably also feel more confident and good about yourself...as well you should! Keep getting on your mat as often as you can. If you want to continue with me tomorrow, be sure to go to http://www.patreon.com/fightmasteryoga and sign up to become a patron. I'm so grateful for your support and I wanted to be able to offer something in return. So, you'll have access to 7 additional yoga classes focused on each of the 7 chakras that won't be available anywhere else. It's just a small "thank you" and token of my gratitude. You'll also get discounts on courses, workshops and retreats. Plus, I've been meeting up with our Patron group once a week for Live video calls to answer questions, and chat about yoga! I hope to see you there! 
Keep up the daily affirmations! You'll be amazed by the positive changes that occur in your life:
"I release the past, I am free to move forward with love in my heart." 

Additional "homework:" Continue your visualizations of your dream life!  Set aside 15 or 20 minutes a day where you focus on what you want to bring into your life and be sure to visualize it as if it's already happening. Most importantly, practice gratitude for everything! Don't stay timid...set out onto the ocean and never, ever, ever give up on yourself! 

Love,
Lesley
