Our bodies are incredible. In our natural state, we are designed to function perfectly, and our systems are formulated to eliminate toxins. When we eat whole, natural foods, stay active, and practice yoga, we shouldn’t need help to maintain digestion, circulation, and lymphatic flow. Environmental factors such as the air we breathe, the soil where our food is grown, and the water we drink, however, are often out of our control. Even if we are doing our best to take care of ourselves, external influences accumulate and can leave us feeling heavy inside and out.
If you aren’t diligent with your movement and diet, lethargy and lack of focus can weigh you down. When our bodies feel bloated and cluttered, our mental focus suffers too. Our emotional lives can spiral out of control at times when we’re in the midst of changing careers, moving homes, experiencing relationship challenges, or simply succumbing to everyday stress. To counteract these tamasic or heavy feelings, practice yoga to encourage your body to recharge its inherent cleansing powers. The proper yoga practice will help you stimulate your digestive, lymphatic, and circulatory systems and clear out mental clutter at the same time. You’ll boost your energy, improve your sleep, stimulate your digestion, and be your most vibrant.
In terms of the best postures to kick your body into self-cleansing mode, try twists, forward folds, and inversions. An excellent twisting pose is Revolved Chair Pose, which will encourage your liver and kidneys to release toxins, stimulate your digestive organs to get moving, and pump up your circulation. Try a wide-legged forward fold like Prasaritta Padottanasana to compress your abdomen and organs, and speed up elimination. Inversions like Downward Facing Dog or Headstand help reverse fluids from the feet and legs back toward the heart. Use strong, controlled breath to increase the power of each posture.
To assist you in uncovering your most buoyant, light, clear self, we’re thrilled to offer a 7-class package for internal cleansing and detoxification.
