The Pluses of Plus-Size Yoga

“…yoga isn’t about touching your toes or achieving any other goal; it’s about learning to skillfully move your body through it’s appropriate range of motion. When you practice Prasarita Padottanasana (Wide-Legged Standing Forward Bend), the aim is to fold forward from the hips so that you can stretch your hamstrings without straining your back. It doesn’t matter how close you get to the ground. What matters is that you learn to stabilize your legs and your spine while you bend forward.” - Annie

ALL ABOUT YOGA: WHAT ARE THE BANDHAS? | The bandhas or locks are applied to the body to direct the flow of prana and apana. Prana is a flow of energy into the body and apana is the flow of energy out for cleansing. When these forces are in balance within our body, we achieve a heightened state of balance and neutrality. As such, the yoga bandhas are important tools for health, wholeness and self-mastery. #yoga #meditation #kundalini

‎Get out of head that your legs need to be straight or that it should look a certain way. If you’re breathing and you’re not compromising your body, then you’re doing yoga brilliantly, beautifully. ― Seane Corn

A strong determination to be happy will help you. Do not wait for circumstances to change, thinking falsely that in them lies the trouble. Do not make unhappiness a chronic habit, thereby affecting yourself and your associates. It is blessedness for yourself and others if you are happy. If you possess happiness you possess everything; to be happy is to be in tune with God. That power to be happy comes through meditation. - Sri Sri Paramahansa Yoga­nanda “The Law of Success”

“If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself. If you cannot even love yourself, who else is going to take the trouble.” — Osho

“Every day, think as you wake up: Today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive, I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” — Dalai Lama

Janet Nash, MSW, LISW-S Awesome quote!

It is very interesting how the human mind works. We have the need to justify everything, to explain and understand everything, in order to feel safe. We have millions of questions that need answers because there are so many things that the reasoning mind cannot explain. It is not important If the answer is correct; just the answer itself makes us feel safe. This is why we make assumptions. — Don Miguel Ruiz

I change my life when I change my thinking. I am Light. I am Spirit. I am a wonderful, capable being. And it is time for me to acknowledge that I create my own reality with my thoughts. If I want to change my reality, then it is time for me to change my mind. — Louise L. Hay

"A man of contentment is ever peaceful. Contentment is a sweet ambrosia to allay all kinds of physical and mental sufferings and torments. He who is not desirous of what he does not have, who is free from elation and dejection, is said to be a contented man. Glory to such exalted souls!" — Swami Sivananda

"Pessimism destroys hope. A pessimist is ever gloomy, lazy and lethargic. A cheerful attitude is unknown to him. Become an optimist and rejoice in God. Try to be happy and cheerful under all conditions. Faith and trust in God can root out pessimism and fill you with hope and joy. The holy Name can slay this enemy." — Swami Sivananda
