Was feeling very blue but this gave me something to think on
Hi Kino, I need to ask you, what do you do when strong emotions arise in the time of your practice? Today I was so angry and disappointed that I stopped my practice halfway through, did the finishing sequence and left full of tears. Is it wrong to give up like that? Is there any advice I should follow? Thank you!!
+Maria2803 When strong emotions arise during the practice it’s a sign that yoga is working. What to do when that happens is a great topic, thanks for suggesting.
+Maria2803 I have intense emotions arise during my yoga practice too. The body stores emotions, memories and traumas that can often be triggered by somatic work (like massage) or regular mindful practices like yoga. As we go into deeper layers of the body, especially with consciousness and breath work, these emotions and energies can be released. We have a tendency to shut down and judge what’s happening. But by opening to them, honoring and allowing them to flow through me, I find that they are just like waves of the ocean that eventually dissolve. It also helps to recognize that they *want* to be released, for our own healing and transformation. Sometimes I journal afterwards too, to see if I can connect to any memories and help myself work through the emotions.
+Cassie Waldman thank you so much for replying! I have read several times that the body can store emotions in a physical level but only those difficult times I understand what this means, or so I like to think. And yes, they do dissolve if you stay cool!
+Maria2803 It sounds like you are moving from just ‘knowing’ the body stores emotion to experiencing it yourself. 😉 It might be really helpful to take a few minutes to yourself after intense experiences like the one you mentioned, and do some intentional reflecting on the emotions that came up. Anger is anger, disappointment is disappointment, whether it’s about our yoga practice or other areas of our life. Any difficult emotion that arises is here for a reason, with a message, if we can learn to accept it and listen to it in non-judgement.
Yoga in the west has become working out; but ‘true’ yoga is just like everything else in life: it’s a mirror for us to see what’s going on inside of us. Our attitude towards our practice is our attitude towards other areas of our life – for ex, can we be in mindful, compassionate acceptance of what is, or are we trying to force things to happen? Whether it’s our bodies on the mat, or at our jobs, or in the car when someone cut us off in traffic — our response (or reactivity) is all connected. =P
One of the things I enjoy most about +KinoYoga is she shares how our yoga practice can be a mirror and metaphor for our internal lives. =)
one question i have that you may want to address is this:(it always confuses me, or it could be that im not that knowledgeable yet to distinguish one from the other)
any kind of yoga you do,, the poses are still the same.. the order/pace may vary
example: sun salutaions, warrioir I, II, III , etc etc..
so, what is then the meaning of calling yoga, ashtanga or iyengar or anything else?
isnt it just yoga..??
Thank you for this video! 🙂
Hi Kino, thanks for sharing these so profound wisdoms. At times we all feel we’re at the beginning of the journey no matter our levels of experience. Your message is an inspiration for continuation.
All the best.
Could you possibly speak on how yoga and the different philosophies of yoga can help with depression and anxiety?!
+Ayanna Davis That is a great topic, thanks for suggesting.
“At your deepest level you are already infinite.” Beautiful.
Thank you Kino, this is great information you share!
Beautiful
Firstly Thankyou so much for these videos. As some of the comments suggest a great topic would be how to deal with overwhelming emotions that arise unexpectedly during practice that create the desire for me to stop. Also I started practicing yoga as a way out of depression , a discussion on how yoga helps would be a great topic too
I actually prefer your videos on living the yogis life! =) Although I wouldn’t wanna miss out on the others, too, because you really are a great teacher.
My topic suggestion would be: How can you/I deal with the (self made up) urge to do every pose right and deeper and better? Because I sometimes seem to overdo it. Not only does that injure the body but it is also so frustrating…
Thank you for these videos! For me, it is *not* seeing you do advanced asana that is the most inspiring. Although, those are awesome! For me, it has always been your genuinely happy spirit that has kept me following your work, because I hoped for myself that I could experience such simple happiness. Please keep doing what you do!
Love these videos xx
you’re a beautiful person in every aspect :))
Kino, this was a really good video. Thank you for sharing your words!
Yoga is a wonderful journey. The more I expand my strength and flexibility, the more I expand my awareness, and the more obstacles I overcome in my life.
This was great!! Please continue to share the spiritual aspects and teachings of yoga. This helps me so very much. Thank you.
I needed to hear this. Thank you, Kino.
