Sunshine Salutation July 25th, 2021. Mindful or mindless this Summer?

SUNSHINE YOGA SHACK

Elevate Your Yoga Practice!

Sunshine Salutation July 25th, 2021!

Greetings!

How is your summer so far? Are you enjoying every moment or are you letting it slip by without taking time to enjoy the sweetness of life?

I was fortunate enough to start my yoga journey when my children were babies. The oldest is now 20 and I can tell you from my heart, I enjoyed every moment. The challenges and the joys of every small detail. It goes so fast. Just like summer. Sometimes I feel outside of my body and I get to watch all of the beauty to sear it in my memory.

This is the act of mindfulness. Taking time to sense and feel life instead of staying in our mind to only focus on each task we are given. Yoga is a mindful practice and helps train your brain on how to be mindful. We will be exploring this mind-body connection this week in my classes.

Sunshine's 5th Annual Showcase is coming! Are you interested in performing? If so reach out to me today via email. This will be the best show yet and we cannot wait to celebrate with you. See below for more information.

Also, Yoga Teacher Training will close registration on August 10th. Reach out if you are interested.

Meet our new Aerial Sub! Whitney will be subbing aerial classes and you may know her already from showcase last year or in classes at the studio. Read her story below.

This week's pose of the week is Gate pose or parighasana. Parigh is the term used for a latch or closure. Gate posture is a wonderful side stretch and great for all levels. It will help to expand the sides and open the rib cage to allow more oxygen on the inhale. As with most of our yoga postures, we are in a state of opening and closing the energy centers of the body to remove blockages.

Show us your version and post on social media, please use the #sunshineposeoftheweek and #sunshinetribe!

Love and Light,

Lynn

My name is Whitney Boatright, and I have done yoga off and on for the last 6 years but became more interested and involved in practicing yoga about 2 years ago when I found Sunshine Yoga Shack.

Since then, I have found that yoga is able to help me through many things in my life from the daily stresses to the larger ones such as changing jobs or temporarily losing my job due to the pandemic, as well as going through and effectively dealing with the pain of childbirth.

Currently, I am a mental health professional working with children and teens, and my job is to help people find coping skills to better manage their feelings and anxiety, in my experiences, yoga is the most effective for this job overall, as it combines many coping skills into one. In addition to Yoga I have become passionate about Aerial yoga and the challenge and thrill it presents, in my opinion, it is able to teach participants to address their fears and push their limits as well as to continue to push through tough situations as they arise

It is my hope to assist my future yoga students and clients to find their ability to calm themselves and really connect with their true and most capable self through their practice, and better handling things that occur in their daily lives than they could before.
