This type of breathwork usually begins with an in-depth interview about past experiences and current concerns, then concludes with counseling and further exploration.

Cortisol is a hormone that’s released by the adrenal glands during times of physical and emotional stress. Its job is to increase your heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, and breathing rate to give you a natural energy boost to take on whatever stressor is coming your way.

This is great when we’re actually in physical danger, but not so helpful when our blood pressure rises while we’re sitting in traffic!

Luckily, breathwork can lower cortisol levels and bring balance back to the parasympathetic systems that start escalating when you’re under stress.

The next time you feel your emotions running high, take one minute to stop what you’re doing, and focus on your breath—you’ll feel a little calmer!

One of the most common ques in yoga is to “lengthen.”

When we’re bending deeper, we lengthen.

When we sit tall, we lengthen.

When we hug and ground down to the mat in a child’s pose we lengthen our spine.

Why? Because lengthening means opening and opening up brings new possibilities.

Practice lengthening in your life off your mat by opening up to new experiences and stretching a little bit further out of your comfort zone! Is there anything you’ve been curious about trying lately that’s a bit out of your realm of comfort? If so, share in the comments!

Driving can be stressful…sitting in traffic can be too!

Take these opportunities to channel your inner Zen and pull your emotions back from road rage or the irritability that comes with sitting in traffic. If you feel your blood pressure rising, try shifting your focus to the words you hear on the radio, the scenery around you, or the bumper of the car you’re situated behind. Don’t forget to breathe!

Even the most seasoned yogi might not be able to master that crazy headstand you’ve seen on Instagram, and that’s okay – because yoga isn’t about the crazy poses.

It’s about the feeling of acceptance that comes when you’re so in touch with your body and mind that you can finally start feeling at peace with yourself.
