Usually, I learn my life lessons from running, but yesterday, yoga was my teacher. After a series of gruelling crescent lunges and some shake inducing boat poses, I was so ready for savasana (the final resting pose). As we prepared to settle into savasana, my instructor talked about giving ourselves permission to just let go, and do nothing. She said that we had earned it. It was true. I worked really hard, doing my very best and persevering when I thought my muscles would break. I had earned a rest. My next thought was about life in general. We go through hard times every day. Some trials last a minute, some last decades. And there are times that we may want to just give up and let our muscles quit, because it's too overwhelming, and we can't take it. But you can't do that. The problems will still be there, and you still have to deal with them. Savasana doesn't come until the end. And when it does come, and you know you've earned it, it's a wonderful feeling.
Teaching Savasana correctly will send your students into a deeply blissful state, allowing them to completely relax their minds as well as their bodies.

For Your Meaningful Life Above the Noise
"So Hum" is derived from the Sanskrit words "Sah," meaning "that," and "Aham," meaning "I" or "self." When combined, it can be translated as "I am That" or "I am That I am." "So Hum" serves as a powerful affirmation of one's connection to the universe. It reflects the understanding that the individual self is not separate from the universal consciousness but is, in fact, an intrinsic part of it. #yogamantra #yogaoffthemat #bohoflow #WealthCreation #ManifestingMoney #GratitudeForWealth #AffirmationsForAbundance #SpiritualWealth
