This week, we worked on toning the body, especially the deep abdominal muscles. While doing some research about what "tone" actually means, I found a definition of the word. The first definition referred to the tone of one's voice. The example, listed was a parent saying to their child, "Don't take that tone with me!"
Consider how closely this relates to the tone in your body. A well toned body is both strong and flexible. Note, that a tight muscle is NOT a strong muscle, and a weak one is not necessarily flexible. When you speak, or think, in a negative tone, feel how your body tenses up. When you are humble and caring, the muscles relax and let go a bit.
So, when you're working with finding a nice balance between strength and flexibility, consider finding this same balance in your words and actions.
Namaste,

Today is the first day of the rest of your life!
This Blog was created for students of THY to get an idea of what we're talking about and working on in class each week. The goal is to provide an overview of the week's theme with perhaps a few words about what we worked with in hopes to spark a broader view of Yoga and the value of your practice. As for more details about postures in a home practice (between classes), I am completing my book, Home Yoga, which will provide a number of poses and how to sequence them in a creative manner.
