48. Explore your energy: A prana meditation

In yoga, prana is your vital life force. It’s not something you can see or touch, but it’s certainly something you can learn to feel, understand, and work with.This meditation is a gentle introduction to prana, combined with a practical check-in to help you notice what is nourishing your energy, and what may be depleting it.Through simple awareness of your breath, body and mind, you’ll begin to:connect with your internal energy stateunderstand how your day is affecting youexplore the relationship between breath and nervous systemgently shift from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more steadyWe’ll also touch on the foundations of pranayama - not just as breathing techniques, but as a way of working with your energy through the breath.This practice is both reflective and regulating, and you can return to it whenever you need a deeper check-in with yourself, a reset during a busy or overwhelming day or a gorgeous moment to reconnect with your energy and priorities.Enjoy!---If you’re thinking “I want to understand how to actually use my breath to change how I feel”, then I’d love you to join me for my free workshop:Pranayama: Ancient Practice, Modern Science In this workshop, we’ll explore:🫁 how breathing affects your nervous system🫁 how to move from feeling overwhelmed to steady🫁 how to practise safely and effectivelyThe details:🗓️ Wednesday 17th June⏰ 12:30💻 Held on zoom 💛 Save your seat to join live, or get the recording ---👋 work with me💛 1:1 therapeutic yogaPersonalised support for anxiety, sleep issues, stress or back pain.
