Theme: Making Space for Myself
This is a practice in creating internal space for your emotions, your dreams, and your quiet power.
- 🌀 Shy Introverts: Feels safe and cocooned while gently opening space inside—no pressure to “perform” stillness.
- 🌀 Quiet Introverts: Expands breath and emotional space without requiring any verbal expression. You can stay in your world while physically opening up.
- 🌀 Loud
Introverts: Softens overdrive and helps recalibrate nervous system energy without needing to “do” anything. Encourages ease in being rather than acting.
🧘♀️ How to Prepare
- Lie on your back.
- Walk feet to the right corner of your mat.
- Reach arms overhead and curve hands to the right.
- You’ll look like a banana shape.
- Repeat on the left side (or stay longer on one side).
- Optional: Place a
bolster or folded blanket along the curve of your side for gentle support.
