Yoga, Care and Wellness: Take Good Care of Yourself
As many yoga teachers emphasize: pampering and caring for yourself is also 'yoga'. Do you have no energy to stand on your yoga mat? Then treat yourself to a relaxing foot bath, light candles, put on some soothing music, and take the time for some breathing work.
Tips for Self-Care
- Tired Legs? Do a long session of "Legs Up the Wall" and place a lovely smelling eye pillow on your eyes. An eye pillow helps you turn inward through the light pressure on your eyes and the pleasant lavender scent.
- Breathing and Nasal Rinsing: If you have a cold, suffer from hay fever or have difficulty breathing, a nasal rinse with a neti pot can work wonders. In fact, this can be your best preparation for the day.
Balance Between Body and Mind
The most important principle in yoga is the balance between body and mind. This means taking good care of yourself. Listen to what your body needs and respond accordingly. This does not mean that you have to do 50 sun salutations every day. It is important that you exercise regularly, but also take rest, meditate and give yourself extra attention through wellness, care and good nutrition.
