3 ways I keep my mind present while practicing asana 💡

1 set an intention : usually it’s something I want to practice or implement in my life off my mat. I bring all of my awareness and focus to this intention and if I feel any sort of suffering in the body or mind I allow my intention to bring me back to the present moment 

2 find my edge : when I am holding each asana I try and find my edge the moment when my mind wants to wonder or body wants to give up I ask myself what if I stay just for one more breath and then boom magic happens 

3 I listen for my breath : how many times do you hear your teacher say this? The breath is what carries you through the asanas to a much deeper place in your soul and when I disconnect from that I feel anxious and the racing thoughts come back 

This is a constant practice for me to stay present on my mat and each time I arrive here I learn I grow I transform into a better version of myself off the mat 😌✨
