One of the main benefits of yoga is helping those of us (myself included) who have trouble being in the present moment. Watching the breath, working through challenging balance poses and meditation all add up to a more mindful life.
Here’s a practice to help you be more in the moment:
Seated with Ujjayi Breath (practice Ujjayi through each yoga pose to create a focal point)
Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle)
Adho Mukha Svanasana (Down Dog)
Tadasana (Mountain Pose)
Utthita Trikonasana (Triangle Pose)
Parvrrita Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle Pose)
Vrksasana (Tree Pose)
Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose)
Garudasana (Eagle Pose)
Utthita Hasta Padangustasana (Big Toe Hold Balance Pose)
Nataranjasana (Dancer Pose)
Adho Mukha Svanasana (Down Dog)
Balasana (Child Pose)
Savasana
