Yoga Fix 30 - Day 29 - Vinyasa Flow Hip Openers

Party Tricks!

"Happiness is available. Please help yourself to it."
-Thich Nhat Hanh

Can you believe it's already day 29?!? Where did the time go? I'm so proud of you for being here and continuing to get your yoga fix as well as continuing to read these messages! Today's class includes lots of twists, hip openers and arm balances. It moves quickly so please push the pause button to practice any of the arm balances more. If these poses are difficult for you, you're not alone! These are challenge poses and although they can be fun, they're no measurement of how how good of a person you are! LOL So, remember, if you can't get into the arm balances, it doesn't matter at all...they're good party tricks, but not a measure of how "advanced" your yoga practice is by any means!

Enjoy and practice today's affirmation:
"I live in a loving, abundant, harmonious universe and I am grateful." 

Additional "homework:" Speaking of gratitude, it seems to be a great day to write a gratitude list! Write down at least 10 things that you're grateful for. Then write down 10 more things that you're grateful for that you've been visualizing bringing into your life. When you write them down, make sure to write them in the present tense as if they are already a reality. Our subconscious minds don't know the difference between reality and what we're manifesting, so this is a great way for your dreams to become real! 

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."

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
