Wedding Stress?
Yoga, pranayama- Stress coping techniques that work for me!

Hi ladies,

It's been a stressful week. Some BM drama and it also just didn't work out with the sari I ordered so back to square one... I just want things to be done. Mark is kinda MIA on course and it's kinda tough feeling like the last priority when he's away on deployment, so I am trying to remain calm dealing with some family issues and just generally feeling kinda lonely..

Anyhoo, my mom is a yoga teacher, and she always talks about the calming effects of yoga. She is NOT kidding. It really works. It makes me feel like a million bucks. Also she started talking about the breathing techniques in yoga - pranayama - you can do these in your own home, or wherever you are when you get some time.

I know alot of us are stressed - some days/weeks are better than others, but I thought I would share since these are working great for me.

I wish my mom had a video, she has this amazingly calming voice. We make fun of her cuz she's so slow, but when you're sitting in her yoga class, it's awesome.

So in short - my suggestions - take a yoga class, you-tube a yoga workout, or pranayama techniques.. Here are some pranayama videos. I don't know how to post the actual video in here lol. Sorry!

I really hope they help you ladies if you're feeling stressed. They have really been helping me!

I love doing yoga, guided meditation, journaling/blogging, and visualizing what I want to happen.  And I try to get a massage at least once a month.  All of if It really helps me refocus, and helps keep me centered.  :)

And embedding videos on your post is really easy.  
Photobucket
Copy the embed code on the right side of the video, and paste that text directly into your blog post.  (It will just look like a bunch of text on your post, but when you press save and people see it, voila, the code works and up comes the video!)

So true, it's all so helpful in keeping you positive, centered and balanced isn't it?

And thanks for the tutorial! :) Awesome. Mark is the techie, I kinda like to shut that part of my brain off lol. But that's easy enough even for me :) Thanks sweetie!
