Nirodhaḥ Yoga Blog
With Mother's Day coming up, we are offering a peaceful, 3o-minute relaxation and visualization. Whether you're mom to ten or are just really good at mothering yourself, you deserve a chance to reset your body and mind. Luxuriate in this relaxation, called pratyahara (sensory withdrawal) in the 8 Limbs of Yoga, and then let your spirit be restored with a calming visualization. Visualization is very relaxing and has many positive effects on the body and mind. We'll finish with a few moments of silence to assimilate your work. You will hear a chime at the end, which will signal you to either slowly open your eyes, ready for the day or drift into a restful sleep.
First, prepare yourself to receive the gift you are giving - the gift of your relaxation. Make your surroundings as comfortable as possible. Dim the lights, maybe light some incense or put a few drops of an essential oil in a diffuser, lay under a cozy blanket. Make sure you have enough room to lie down comfortably. When you're ready to start, separate your legs a few feet apart and bring your arms away from your sides slightly. Place your palms face up and close your eyes.
