What’s Inspiring Me This Month by YeeB

The wonderful Oca studio opened its doors in May, marking the beginning of a journey.  It gives me hope that opportunities for new beginnings are always around and here for everyone.  A chat with a stranger, discovering a song, tasting an unfamiliar food or even teaching a new yoga class, these moments have potential to lead to paths of friendship, passion for new interests and community.  It can be a little scary when trying something new, and myself being extremely prone to procrastination I was comforted recently by this version of the proverb by Tao Te Ching. 

"A thousand mile journey begins where one stands"

Simply where you are right now, you are already in the exactly right place to begin! Whether reading this on the bus, at a desk or on your sofa you can choose the next safe moment to do yoga.

Mountain pose
For foundation and stability

Standing, bring your feet parallel hip width apart and ground through the soles. 

Float your hips over the ankles and draw the lower belly up. 

Allow the chest to rise and relax the shoulders away from the ears. 

Turn the palms of the hands forwards. 

Stand tall.

*Pause*

Soften your gaze towards the horizon and take 3 full breaths through the nose. 

Congratulate yourself, you have taken a step on a new journey! 

Love Yee xx
