Forrest Yoga can help you find balance during times of change. Change and transformation can be scary business. When faced with fear, these are some of the best tools for recalibrating and finding your balance:
1. Active Feet: When we get fearful, we get caught up in our chest, neck, and jaw. Keeping your feet active makes the energy travel down to some of the biggest bones and muscles and makes you rooted, grounded. It also keeps you more aware, because you’re breaking a habitual posture.
2. Deep breathing: When we’re afraid, we hold our breath, literally making ourselves gasp for air. This keeps you from being clear-headed and centered. Deep breathing changes your physiological response to fear, making you better able to think clearly and take right action.
3. Relax Your Neck: This is essential for changing your response to fear. A perpetually tight neck and jaw send fear, stress and anxiety signals throughout the body, which stunts your ability to transform.
