Connecting Yoga

Greetings!
Zoom in for Beginners Ashtanga Today (and every Wednesday) at 12pm (CST) at Dallas Ashtanga Yoga Shala

Find balance from a strong foundation

As this month is awareness month, I’ll be sharing a few ways to navigate diastasis through yoga. One of my biggest takeaways, when I was working on healing my diastasis, was to move from a point of connection; that connection is the breath. The respiratory diaphragm is a part of the ‘core’ muscles therefore the way we breathe has an effect on the intra- abdominal pressure. Learning how to relax the diaphragm so that it descends down on the inhalation and then increase the length of the exhale can help with finding that connection to the transverse and pelvic floor. A ratio of 4:8 breath and slowly increasing the length of the exhale to 10 / 12 count is something to explore. When practicing yoga with a diastasis, the breath should be the instigator for asana, along with body connections and self-inquiry. Let the breath be your guide ❤️

In life there are times where we feel we are being pulled in different directions. Our practice is to find balance.

Join me tomorrow and for at Divine Center of Yoga at 10.30am (CST)
