BLOG: Lighten up: 3 Tips to float in your practice
Spring is here with its warm weather, fresh scents, and bright sunshine. It's a season of growth, exploration, and even transformation. You may feel lighter both attitudinally and physically, which can lend well to experiencing a shift in your yoga practice. Especially when it comes to transitions such as floating forward from the back of your mat to the front.
You hear the word float and it's likely you think of lightness and freedom. Perhaps you hold an image of yourself floating on water and the peace the rhythmic waves bring to your well being. In yoga, instructors intentionally use words like this to encourage you to first think of how a physical sensation may feel, long before it may actually occur. That is the case when it comes to the ever-challenging float forward.

We share—it’s not easy to personally grow. It means you have to do or think something different and in order to make that happen, you often need to hear different perspectives. So we’ll share ideas from our own learning.
Will yoga help me lose weight?
Let’s begin with a brief history lesson. There are references of yoga existing as far out as 10,000 years ago—long before anyone was concerned about their weight, muscle mass, appearance, or general body shape. It was a stressful time and their big concern was doing the work to get basic needs met, such as food, water, and shelter. They also spent time resting and connecting to spirit because most of what they needed perceivably depended on mother nature or higher power. So they sat and dedicated their time to purity of thought and reciprocation of the gifts (crops, water) they had received from her/him.
What to expect at Ignite Yoga in Centerville
It takes courage to start. We recommend you register for a class ahead of time, come a few minutes early, and don’t eat 90 minutes before practice. Pack your mat, towel, and water. Once you arrive—leave your socks, shoes by the door and all your electronics outside of the studio room: a little detachment goes a long way.
