I AM CALM ~ Sadhana Series
11 Day Challenge of breath-based kundalini yoga practices & meditations to calm the nervous system
This 'I am Calm' series will work on calming the nervous system to take us from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system where we can rest and digest. These classes will be focused on soothing the nervous system and regulating the breath. The breath has a powerful effect on how we feel. When we breathe shallow and rapid we can feel more overwhelmed and anxious. By slowing the breath down and bringing the diaphragm into a rhythm we can center the mind and calm the nervous system. Over the 11 days, we will move through some gentle breath-based kundalini yoga practices followed by an 11-minute meditation each day.
Sadhana means spiritual daily discipline. Doing a home yoga or meditation practice can be hard to be consistent and keep motivated. This I AM HEALTHY series will help you to create a daily habit of looking after your mind and body. The Kundalini Yoga classes will be 30- 40 minutes a day combining physical movement with breath practices and meditation to bring you into a calm and relaxed state.
What to Expect:
~ 11 Day Series that can be started at anytime
~ 30 - 40 minute classes which include an 11 minute meditation
~ Spotify playlists to use alongside your classes
~ An 11 day calendar to plan your classes
