Sloshing? Great Idea after a Bad Night's Sleep

Okay, I get it.
You didn't sleep well last night?
Especially for those of us who have a busy mind...
You feel like you have incorporated all the techniques you know of to finally relax and turn off your over-active mind.
Then, you worry that you will sleep past the alarm.
No Bueno.

So, you show up on the yoga mat and nothing feels rested.  Why not slosh?
New learning curve for me.
Perhaps I have practiced it before and just don't remember.
It looks like you are lying on the flat in a supine position for final relaxation or Corpse Pose with no bolster or blanket.
Now, here comes the magic!

Begin moving your feet, yes, just your feet.
The rest of your body just follows the movement of the feet.
Plantar flexion, dorsiflexion of the ankles ….forward and back, forward and back, forward and back.
The faster you go, the better you feel.

To me, it feels like chugging.
But, it truly worked this morning, and I plan to add it in to my yoga classes.
Sloshing
Yoga, it does a body good!

  4. 10 minute yoga for beginners is a mind and body exercise with historical origins in ancient Indian philosophy. Different styles of yoga unite bodily postures, breathing methods, and relaxation or meditation. Yoga is now popular as a kind of physical exercise predicated upon asanas (physical evaluations) to encourage enhanced control of body and mind and to enhance well-being.

Even the doctors now understand the importance of yoga and advise pregnant women to practice yoga for back pain.
