Continuing with our safe start, temperatures are rising. Summer is upon us. We all respond differently to the heat. Some have tempers boiling over while others thrive. It’s very helpful to know how to cool down when necessary, just like in the winter it helps to know how to heat yourself up.
Yoga offers all those tools. Breathing in and out of the mouth simply drops our core temperature. Avoiding bearing weight on the arms will diminish the engagement of the triple heater, keeping us cooler. Shoulder stands, rabbit posture, and plough all calm the nervous system. I love “fan club yoga”… which I developed while living in tropics.(practicing yoga in front of a fan, perhaps with an emphasis on floor postures)
Do you like the heat? How about the humidity? Ki to Happiness loves all kinds of weather.
