As a human being living in today’s world, you have likely experienced body image issues before. Unfortunately, society has minimized the value of feeling good in our bodies as second only to “looking good.” We’re comparing ourselves to others all day long, through real world interactions as well as the fake filters technology floods us with.
If you’re having body image issues, I highly recommend adding some sort of movement into your daily routine. By learning to move in our bodies, we learn to feel them and ultimately connect with them better. I always try to focus on – our body is our temple. We must love and nurture it and it will love and nurture us back. Let’s look at why yoga is such a wonderful movement practice to help you resolve body image issues and feel more confident and sexier in your skin.

We all deal with the day to day struggles in life.
That’s just it… It’s life.
The highs and lows. The good and bad.
It's going to happen to us no matter what and I look at that as a gift. We woke up today. We are breathing. We are alive. We are working on recovery. That's a blessing!

Left nostril breathing especially.

Breathing is the essence of life!
It’s also the essence of yoga.
Breathe is our life force.
As long as we are breathing, we are alive.
We go through life with very shallow breath and we don’t even acknowledge it.
When we are depressed, stressed or anxious our breath is uneven and choppy.
When we are tense, we hold our breath.
If we feel scared, we might gasp for breath.
On the other hand, when we feel calm and relaxed the breath will become slow and even.
I understand the struggle when it comes to this.
Addiction and anxiety always made my breath erratic.
We all live very busy lives and get stuck in the daily grind or the hustle and bustle of life.
It’s challenging and exhausting at the same time to find any balance.
As you learn to breathe slowly and deeply you will calm the mind, as well as the emotions that might be triggering you that day.
Then with a calm and clear mind you have the tools to face any situation head on.
If your like most people you probably don’t pay attention to the breath.
That’s ok! It’s completely normal.
