Sun, May 24, 2020 ~ Dancing Water Daily ~ Moon River Restorative Yoga: Connect with Presence

We all get lots of practice at comparing and rating ourselves to each other but how do we practice connecting with presence? Today’s super-simple restorative yoga series uses minimal props and any part of it can be done to help get us out of our think-y, comparing heads and into our wise, compassionate bodies.

I use variations on these poses when I’ve been on screens for a long time, I’m over-thinking, or I feel rattled or upset. Find the video here.

Props for the Practice:
~ carpet ~ blanket ~ yoga mat (or all three)
~ 2 big, thick bath towels
~ 1 bath mat or another towel
~ tea or water (optional)

I’m experimenting with fewer, easier-to-gather props and I’d love to hear what you think! What do you have in your house and what feels good in your body? Please leave a comment below!
