Energy Boosts

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book. ~Irish Proverb

As our days get hotter & longer we tend to run out of energy pretty quickly. Scientists swear by this energy enhancing trick & I have to say from years of experience I'm with them! A 40 minute nap can increase your energy 100% & improve your daily performance by 34%! When we close our eyes this is giving our brains a chance to re-organize & gather new information. We sort out the unnecessary & deal with the details that are needed. Alright, so 40 minutes may seem hard to obtain, but studies even show that 10 minutes spent meditating, or sitting quietly with our eyes closed is enough to help replenish our brains function! If this is even hard to get around to, grab a Yerba Mate. This tea is great for stimulating your nervous system & it doesn't have the harsh affects that high energy drinks have. It's lower in caffeine & wont leave you with jitters! Enjoy this beautiful weather we are having & get your nap on!!

Sukhasana- Easy Pose

If you are not able to nap, try out this pose. Great for that quick meditation. Breathe & relax

Savasana- Corpse Pose

Let our hips melt into the earth, wiggle a bit & adjust. Leaving our hands & feet weightless. Surrender

Well rested already? Deepen your practice this week with my pose of the day! This pose is good for generating great joint stability & balance!

Garudasana- Eagle Pose

Starting on our right side- Gentle bend in our knees, take our right leg & wrap it over the top of our left. If our foot can hook around our left leg, great! If not just rest it gently next to it. Taking our left arm hook it under the right elbow & bring our palms together. This is opening our right hip & right scapula. Even out with the left leg over the right & right arm hooking under the left. (For a bigger challenge, try this reclined & do Eagle sit ups!)
