It is important to preserve emotional balance for our best health. Sometimes the intensity of our feelings might make us feel exhausted and alone. Thankfully, yoga offers a powerful approach to encourage recovering emotional balance. Yoga may help us get a deeper understanding of our emotions, teach us how to manage them effectively, and eventually help us discover inner peace. Let's look into how practicing yoga could assist us in achieving emotional balance.

Yoga provides a safe, encouraging atmosphere in which we may explore and understand our emotions. Through asanas (yoga postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation, we raise our degree of self-awareness. As we shift between different positions and focus on our breathing, we learn to observe our feelings without passing judgment. This non-judgmental awareness enables us to accept and value all of our feelings, whether they are uplifting or challenging. We must first recognize and embrace our emotions in order to handle them with compassion and resilience. Our daily lives will be more emotionally balanced as a result.

The fusion of the mind and body is one of the fundamental principles of yoga. We focus on the present moment and establish a connection with our body experiences as we progress through the physical poses of yoga. Our inner knowledge and intuition may be accessed through the body-mind link, which creates a strong foundation for emotional balance. We achieve a sense of harmony inside ourselves by coordinating our breath. We gain the capacity to respond to difficult emotions with composure and clarity through frequent practice, promoting emotional balance and general well-being.

Hi, everybody. My name is Rehl Clarke. Thank you so much for practicing with me today. Today, our flow is going to be centered around emotional balance. Why emotional balance is so important is because sometimes in life we have something we are looking forward to and maybe the plans change or a trial that happens. When life seems like it's all over the place, we can turn to God for that steady, consistent love that God is always going to give us. Yoga is also another great way to find emotional balance. Through breathing, through movement, through connection within ourself, we are able to find that steady flow and that constant piece that we're all looking for in life. I'm super excited to share this yoga practice with you today, because when we have emotional balance, we can understand what we are needing, we can understand what is best for us, and we can share more love and light with other people. So with that being said, let's get into it. We're gonna start in a seated position and we're gonna work on some box breathing. Box breathing is a amazing way to relieve anxiety, relieve stress. How it works is we're going to inhale for four breaths, hold that breath four counts, exhale for four, hold for four, and inhale again. I like to imagine a box, commonly why it is called box breathing. It's gonna go something a little bit like this. Inhale, three, two, one; hold, three, two, one; exhale, three, two, one; hold, three, two, one. At this time, I want you to find your own rhythm with this breath. Maybe holding those counts a little bit longer. Find that rhythm. We're gonna be here for a couple of minutes, finding ourselves, being present in the moment. While you're breathing, I wanted to touch a little bit on our heart chakra. Our heart chakra is an amazing chakra to have in balance to help with emotional, and mental, physical balance. Because when our heart chakra is in a line and everything's good with that, we are able to accept love, accept change, and we are able to give love and give encouragement to other people. When our heart chakra is open, we are ready to receive. We're ready to receive love from God. And that is what this flow is all about. We're going to be doing a lot of movements that are opening up our heart chakra all across our chest, our shoulders to receive that love that God has for us, to help us feel a little bit more emotionally balanced today. With that being said, keep that in mind while we breathe here. Focusing on this box breathing. One last box breath. And on your last exhale, placing your hands on top of your knees, sitting up strong, our shoulders are broad and out. We are smiling. Happy to be here. We're going to inhale through our nose, exhale through our mouth. Inhale through our nose, and exhale through our mouth. Inhale through our nose, and exhale, releasing everything. Last time, inhale and exhale . We're going to inhale, our arms up to the sky. Exhale, opening our chest, reaching our hands around, clasping our hands, and lifting our chest high. Slowly releasing that, inhaling up; and exhale, cactusing our arms again, reaching behind us, clasping our hands, and lifting up to the sky. Inhale up one last time; and exhale, cactusing our arm, clasping our hands, lifting up to the sky. Inhale, arms come up; exhale, placing our hands on either side of our knee, keeping a bend in our elbow, we're going to bring our nose to our knee. Inhale, arms up to the sky; and switch, falling to our left knee. Elbows are bent, touching our nose or our forehead down to our knee. One last time, inhale up; exhale, falling to the right. And inhale up again; and exhale, falling to the left. Coming back up to center, we are going to come into a tabletop position here. We're gonna do a couple cat-cows. We're gonna do the opposite of traditional breath work with cat-cows. This time we're gonna inhale, arching our back, bringing our naval to our spine; and exhale, releasing, melting our heart down, gazing out in front of us. Inhale, coming up; and exhale, gazing out in front of us. Inhale up, really engaging that core; and exhale, letting your heart melt down to the floor. Inhale up; and exhale down. A couple more times here. Inhale, rounding that spine, tucking your chin; and releasing, gazing out in front of you. Moving on to a couple wrist circles here, we're gonna go all the way around our mat going left to right, right to left couple of times, getting some nice, good movement in. Warming up our wrists for some of the poses we have later on in this practice. Just a couple more wrist circles here. Finding stillness, we're going to inhale our left arm up to the sky and exhale, letting it fall back behind us. Our left fingertip should be touching our right hips or on top of our right thigh. Wherever you are at is great. And inhale, reaching that up to the sky, bringing your left hand back down to center. Inhale, right arm goes high; and exhale, releasing that.

Slowly making your way up to a seated position on your mat. We're gonna inhale, opening our chest. Our hands are gonna come on either side of us. Fingertips are up, lifting our heart chakra and chest up to the sky, feeling and grabbing onto any of those extra yummy emotions that you feel through this practice and holding it close to your heart.

We're gonna do a couple breaths here while in this pose, hands can be on our knees, palms can be faced up, or you can go into any hand mudra that you would like. Deep breaths here. Letting everything out through your mouth. Taking your left leg that is on top of your right leg, we're just going to cross it over and hook our right elbow to the outside of our left knee, gazing over our left shoulder, coming into a spinal stretch here. Slowly releasing that, lying our left shin flat onto the ground, right shin comes on top. Again, hands are down on our knees, palms facing up or in any mudra you would like. And breathing here. In through our nose, out through our mouth. Couple more breaths. Now taking our right leg that is on top of our left leg, we're going to cross that over, hooking our left elbow to the outside of our right knee, gazing over our right shoulder, coming into the other side of this spinal twist. And slowly releasing that. Coming into butterfly, we're going to inhale and exhale, drawing a little closer to our feet with our chest. Straightening our legs out in front of us, clasping our hands behind our back again. I want you to inhale all the love that you feel from God. All the stability, love, comfort. And exhale anything that is holding you back from feeling those things in your life. Slowly coming onto our back. Taking a deep breath here, we are going to move into plow. If you do not have a good back or a neck injury, please only take this pose if it is in your practice and you are comfortable. We're going to place our hands down, straightening our legs and lifting our hips. Our hands are gonna come on our hips. Feel free to hold this here or draw your feet close to the ground, taking this full pose. Slowly releasing that, lowering down one vertebrae at a time, being very gentle with our back. We're going to sit up slightly. Straightening our legs out, our hands are going to come underneath our bum. Our elbows are supporting us, and we're going to tilt our head back so the crown of our head is touching the mat, coming into fish pose. Slowly releasing out of this pose, lying straight onto our back, we're going to inhale giving ourself a big hug rocking right to left, left to right. Slowly extending your legs and arms out beside you, coming into our final pose, savasana. Begin to wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes. Coming back to your awareness. Maybe pointing and flexing your toes, shaking out your hand and your feet. Whenever you are ready, fall into your right or left side in a fetal position. Slowly making your way up to a seated position on your mat. We're gonna inhale, opening our chest. Our hands are gonna come on either side of us. Fingertips are up, lifting our heart chakra and chest up to the sky, feeling and grabbing onto any of those extra yummy emotions that you feel through this practice and holding it close to your heart. God will always be a constant in all of our lives. God loves me. God loves you. God loves every person on this earth. God can help us feel more emotionally balanced when life can be crazy. Thank you so much for practicing with me, namaste.
