Fill your heart with light

A big part of living a joyful life is intentionally cultivating positive experiences and taking time to absorb them into your body and your brain. You can do that in your yoga practice by closely monitoring your experience during asana, by maintaining deep consistent breathing pace, and by using simple inspirational imagery. Images from nature work especially well because they evoke similar feelings you get when you are out in nature.

This short yoga practice evokes the image of sunlight and uses a line from the song Light and Day by The Polyphonic Spree as a chant. It invites you to “Follow the day and reach for the sun!” This practice is useful any time you feel guarded or timid. It will energize your body, help you breathe deeper and encourage you to be a bit more open and courageous.
