The amazing Swenja Tanner is back at Pere Marquette Beach this week and going to be taking you on a full body experience to spend the quality time on yourself you deserve this week.
Beginning with the all essential breathing it’s a ride through your hips, legs and midsection to stretch, limber and lighten life’s burdens in an ancient practice that’s embraced the world over. But, let’s stop and ask a question this week. Breathing? Why the focus?
From Fit Evo.com “When we focus on our breath during yoga classes, we tap into a powerful source of energy within us that can help with back pain. Deep, intentional breathing helps to circulate prana, the life force that flows through our bodies and supports a healthy back. Regular classes can further enhance the benefits of this practice. By consciously directing our breath, we can ensure that this vital energy reaches every corner of our being, including our back. This can help us in our classes.”
It’s great advice, and a great way to share with you why Swenja brings it up week after week.
Swenja would love to come to your home and work with a family or small group in to help teach yoga! Imagine that? Just you and those you are close to and comfortable with. No judging eyes. No membership to join. Just a relaxed and casual setting of learning and growing. She’s also got programs designed for kids. What a great way to help teach lifestyles at an early age that will help with balance when it comes to all that life throws at us from time to time. CLICK HERE to email Swenja about your group and build a schedule for when you’d like to meet up in private.
Remember, with any physical activity, it’s important to know your limits. Swenja is a long time practitioner of yoga. If you are new to the experience, take your time to get into the motions and don’t over do it. Injuring yourself is the fastest way to ruin an amazing experience that will only enrich your life for years to come. Keep in mind too as your progression continues, that adding a healthy eating habit will add a lot to you’re program as will upping your physical fitness in other ways. On the Muskegon Channel, we have a weekly feature called Fit and Healthy With Becky and you’ll find a great new weekly work out there.
