It does not always have to be about a long yoga practice; sometimes a short and sweet refuge from a busy day does the trick – as long as it is mindful, you have so many options to add a little yogatherapy into your day
I like this little post-it below. I also like one minute of:
-inhale through nose, exhale through mouth – AAAHHH
-watch the inhale come in slightly cool, and the exhale go out slightly warm
-repeat a mantra (108 times)
-foot/ankle circles, stretching of toes
-wrist/hand circles, stretching of fingers
-shoulder rolls (forward,up, back and back, up forward)
-use a little hand cream and massage your hands
-palm the eyes ( for the technique, click here )
If you have a little longer, check out my Yoga Mind Cd and I am available for private yoga classes if you want to personalize your tips, tricks, techniques
