Name That Yoga Pose

Yoga Poses

Ever feel lost during a yoga class because you don’t know the name of a pose? When I first started yoga, I remember being completely confused when the instructor told us to position our bodies into random animals and objects. What in the world is a “happy baby”?! And the “rabbit pose” looks nothing like a rabbit… Well, here is a helpful link I found that shows you the most common yoga poses. I hope this helps!

Yoga is a journey.  It can be a journey of finding inner peace or a journey towards an intention.  With that being said, there is no final destination or  end to the journey.  However, throughout your practice, between asanas or even in the middle of one, you may become aware of a rush of happiness- whether it’s joy, exhilaration, or just contentment.  In that moment, no matter how brief, concentrate on that positive emotion you’re feeling and become present in that moment.

Yoga is a journey, there is no end, the time is now, and if you find bliss, then stay awhile.
