The Breath You Aren't Breathing

Are you forgetting to breathe?

I have to admit even as a yoga and pranayama teacher there are times when I too forget to breathe. This past year, having a baby has drastically changed my meditation, pranayama, and yoga practice, both in time spent and frequency practiced. I previously thought I might incorporate meditation into breastfeeding, which I am currently laughing at as I write. Reality, or real life, can often present us with much less romantic truths. While I find I am not practicing in the way I previously imagined, I am creating a newer and more true experience which meets me where I am.  I find that I currently take my deepest breaths, the most conscious and full bellied, in the evening while watching our son take his bath. Why, I am not sure. Perhaps, it's the slowing down after a long day that takes me directly into my body and the power of my breath. 

Have you ever felt your practice change or shift?

Have you ever felt you did not have time or just forgot to practice, move, or meditate?

Have you ever realized you were breathing shallow, not using your full lung capacity?

Me too, almost every day, and so,  we created a free brief meditation to help us ALL get back on track.
