Whent it comes to hot yoga, believe it BEFORE you see it

In hot yoga, the need to see immediate evidence of your so-called progress is the most significant hindrance to getting what you want from your hot yoga practice.

When you attempt to take score of your progress too soon, you actually move further from the results you seek; you are focused AWAY from what you want, and looking squarely at your problems, physical and otherwise....so guess what you continue experiencing...more of those same problems. What you focus upon expands.

When you discover the power of feeling better first, by deliberately choosing to focus your mind away from problems, struggles, irritants, and any other unwanted things—and focus your mind upon the feel-good simplicity of your own breathing—you will have found the key to the power of allowing.

Breathing - throughout class, in savasanas between the hot yoga poses, and most poignantly in your final Savasana -allows you to focus on how good it feels when the breath fills your body. After class, stay awhile in your Savasana. Control less, enjoy more, and revel in how good it feels to feel good -  and how easy it is. In this moment, in every hot yoga class you take, everything is working out for you in the best possible way.
