Nervous System Reset - 7 Day Yoga Program | Day 1 - Observe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 окт 2024
- Hello and welcome to your 7 Day Nervous System Reset program! Today is DAY 1. The intention for today’s class is to OBSERVE. Throughout this practice, you will have opportunities to observe your physical connection to the earth. This practice will invite you to notice which parts of your body are connected to the ground and which parts are lifted away. You’ll have opportunities to observe body patterns. For example, is more weight being placed on one side of your body versus the other side in certain poses? Or what happens to your physical body when you explore a more challenging pose? Do you shake, hold your breath, clench your teeth? How do you move from one pose to the next? Do you notice which parts of your body touch the ground first when moving from a seated position to all fours? Which muscles support you in the poses and transitions? Can you sense the subtle movements in your body, even in stillness?
Day 1 of our Nervous System Reset program encourages you to approach your practice through a lens of curiosity. You have opportunities to notice body patterns and habits without passing judgment. With that said, you may choose to make adjustments to your patterns in order to deepen your connection to the surface beneath you. I invite you to look at these patterns as interesting and good information. Maybe you begin to observe how the patterns you identify on the mat are similar to your patterns off of the mat. For example, when standing in line at a store, are you placing more weight on one foot versus the other? Do you shift your weight from one side to the other? Is one hip lifted more than the other? Are your shoulders feeling tense? Is your breath shallow? Can you feel any tension in your face, especially your jaw and brow bone? How does the ground feel beneath your feet - hard, soft, firm, bouncy?
This type of practice enhances body awareness, encouraging us to be more present in our body. We explore shifting our focus from the external environment to our internal landscape.
Once again, I invite you to approach today’s class with curiosity. Do your best to focus less on, “Am I doing this right?” and instead ask yourself, “What do I notice?” You can even use the following prompt: “I observe ____________” throughout your practice. For example, “I observe that my right leg wants to lift up when doing a side body stretch.” “I observe tension in my lower back when sitting upright.” Or “I observe that when I spread my fingers wider in tabletop position, I feel more steady in the pose.”
It is my hope that you enjoy the first day of our program!
I encourage you to leave a comment down below. You can tell me what you observed on your mat!
Thank you for choosing to go on this inward journey with me!
Sending you love & light,
~Rachel

Hi Nancy 🤗 You're so welcome! Thank you for your kind words and feedback! I'm so happy to hear that you're loving the somatic exercises! I appreciate you ❤️ Enjoy the rest of your day, and take care 🙏
Good morning Rachel! Day 1 in the books!!! It’s funny what you ignore within your body when you don’t take the time to observe it! I was able to notice tension throughout my body, especially my back and shoulders that I wouldn’t have if I didn’t sit and pay attention!!! Thank you for the amazing practice! I’m looking forward to tomorrow!!! ❤🙏😁🤗
Good morning Sean! YESSSS 🙌 you did it! Thank you for sharing your observations with me and the community. It's interesting what stillness can show us in relation to what's happening internally. Bringing our attention to bodily sensations can help us identify patterns, tendencies and areas of tension. Thank you so much for being here! See you tomorrow! Until then, take care 🤗💖🙏
Thank you Rachel. This is teaching me to slow down and observe my body. A really important practice. Thank you. Look forward to session 2. Although think I'll do this se session a few times.
Hi Cathy 🤗 You're so welcome! Yes, slowing down to observe inner sensations is such an important practice especially in our fast-paced world. Feel free to explore this practice as often as it feels good! I hope that you enjoy day 2 of this journey!! Take care 🙏🤗
Day2 of your sessions and Im really enjoying this! Thankyou Rachel
Hi John 🤗 You're so welcome! I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying our practices! I hope that this 7 day journey serves you well 😊 Enjoy the rest of your day, and take care 🙏
Having tried our beginners 3 times a week for two weeks - I completed it today and then decided to move on to this great session. I was unable to lift my knees at tabletop mote than once. I'm overweight, have had a stroke and was 60 this week.
I definitely enjoy these movements and breath.
And your voice is so relaxing, with each move so well explained.
Thank you
Trish
