Today I am grateful for my breath. For the reminder that striving and forcing creates tension and resistance, a contraction in the being. Im grateful for the physical, emotional and soulful reminded that feeling is healing and the only way to get it started is to release the armour, relax and shift from effort to pure curious exploration. The practice of Allowing unfolds the layers. Thank you Agni & Iskaan, deep belly breaths held by beautiful guidance and support through our Yoga Therapy training in the Breath & Bioenergetics module.
