Odaka Yoga: What emotion are you? How to make your Yoga practice Experiential<\/strong><\/p>\n

Life inevitably presents us a wide range of emotions, both positive and negative. Emotions are part
\nof us, at times we can feel them powerful, energizing, revitalizing and this happens when we feel in
\nlove, happy and grateful; other times some emotions can turn off our energy, suffocate us and leave
\na sense of bitterness and frustration in our thoughts by creating blocks, making us accumulate toxins
\nand hindering our quiet life.<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered what emotion you are?<\/strong>
\nWhat makes us happy, attractive and useful is our very ability to perceive, generate and express
\npure emotions that wash the dirt from our soul.<\/p>\n

Recognizing and managing emotions, both positive and negative, becomes fundamental for a <\/strong>yogi and for anyone who wants to take the reins of own life. For a Yoga teacher it is vitally<\/strong>
\nimportant to know how to move in this ocean of emotions and help those who feel drowned<\/strong>
\nwithout being emotionally involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know, it’s not easy but with a little compassionate practice everything will become easier and more
\nnatural over time. The good news is that Odaka Yoga offers us both a philosophy and a set of<\/strong>
\npractical tools to alleviate challenges and shine in our essence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before starting your practice or your normal daily activities, stop for a moment, find your<\/strong>
\ncenter and listen to yourself. How do you see yourself? What do you hear? Observe the parts <\/strong>of the body where these emotions materialize and name your feelings. Here, now that you <\/strong>recognize them you are ready to transform them! So take a few more moments and ask<\/strong>
\nyourself: How do you want to see yourself? What do you want to hear? Your experiential yoga <\/strong>practice has just begun, it\u2019s wonderful!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If anxiety and suffering are about to take over it is possible that you are beginning to think of
\nyourself as lonely and alienated. You may feel listless, disappointed, tired and unmotivated. Do not
\ndrown in these emotions, but by identifying the area in your body where this feeling manifests itself
\nyou will also know by where it can flowing, to emptying you and welcoming the best and
\neverything you need to be happy. There are many specific asanas that stimulate our nervous<\/strong>
\nsystem and make us capable of developing different and better reactions to life events.<\/strong> At the end of each of our experiential practices we moved, squeezed and transformed the emotions we
\ndidn’t want from our body, making room for well-being and a deep sense of fulfillment. We<\/strong>
\nnaturally feel freer and lighter because we have realized that although negative emotions<\/strong>
\ncause not being pleasant, they are ultimately not who we are.<\/strong> Scientific studies also agree in
\nshowing that yoga and meditation techniques actually activate a specific part of the brain, the left
\nprefrontal cortex, known as the “happy” side of the brain where positive emotions reside.<\/p>\n

Remember that you are like a gold coin buried in a pile of dust, your light sometimes hides<\/strong>
\nunder your physical and emotional reactions to life, but it is always there at your disposal and <\/strong>ready to shine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Odaka Yoga offers endless sequences of asanas and practices designed to respond to the changing
\nneeds of each of us. It trains teachers capable of creating regenerating and always original yoga
\nsequences and classes. As an artist draws from his palette the colors to make his picture harmonious
\nand varied, so every Odaka Yoga Teacher draws his colors from the deep knowledge of asanas to
\ncreate an ever new mandala, a unique structure every time that allows us to rediscover the calm,
\nhappiness and strength to shine.<\/p>\n

So from today, to make your yoga practice experiential and your life wonderful, be the one to <\/strong>decide who to be and what emotion to live as you flow with the flow of life!<\/strong><\/p>\n
