5 Ways to Turn Your Yoga Class Into a Gratitude Meditation
Here are a few ways to incorporate gratitude in your yoga class:
Breathing
By focusing on our breathing, we get to appreciate even more the very gift of life with each breath we take.
Mountain Pose with Raised Hands
Through this pose, feel grounded, hopeful, and grateful for all your dreams and the unknown adventures that the future holds.
Camel Pose
As you open your heart and shoulders through this pose, find gratitude for all the courage you’ve summoned into your life.
Child’s pose
Through this pose, we appreciate the safety and security in our lives as well as the value of slowing down and resting.
Thank You Mantra Meditation
Spend a few minutes at the end of your yoga practice meditating. Say aloud and resounding “thank you” on your exhales.
In Conclusion
When a teacher weaves the mental and emotional aspect into the physical practice it adds the element of “why” we do yoga, rather than focusing on the poses.
