Picture this: It is one of your first times practicing yoga. You are excited and a bit nervous. You aren’t quite sure what to expect but you have heard about the benefits of yoga from others. As the class begins, you put your foot here, twist a bit there, and you try your darndest to breathe when the instructor says to!
At times during the class, you think to yourself, “Am I doing this right?” or “How on earth did I get my body into this pose?! This is weird!”
After the class ends, you lay in Savasana and have a few moments to yourself. You can’t help but notice that you feel GOOD!
To be a new yoga student is a time of wonder, curiosity, and at times awkwardness. I think we all know what it’s like to step onto the mat for a class, not knowing what to expect but feeling amazing afterwards.
For some of us, the awkward moments in yoga are enough to make us not want to come back. Some of us want to practice but don’t have the confidence to.
To help us move past some of these awkward feelings, we can use affirmations.
Affirmations are a great way for us to practice yoga off the mat. It can be so motivating to keep working towards a healthy mind, body, and spirit through yoga.
