New Year

What if you could let go?

You've probably heard at least one of the teachers at Awakened Yoga tell you to let go during your practice; maybe during a hip opener, or just during a difficult pose when we can see your jaw clenched.

But really, what if you could and DID let go?

In yoga, as in life, holding on rarely provides any benefit; unless, perhaps, you are hanging on to the edge of a cliff. When you let go, real change can and does happen.

So give yourself permission to let go. Let go of any poison in your life in relationships, thoughts, feelings, or reactions. Release negativity, fear, and harmful habits. Make way for positivity and love for this upcoming year. For every bad thing you let go of, you make way for new, beautiful, and exciting changes in your life.

Let 2012 be the year that you cross boundaries, command your fears to get out of your life, and open your heart to all the good that there is.

Breathe into the difficulty that letting go faces you with. Match the intensity of your breath to the intensity that you might experience. And wait for openness, because it IS there. 

Here's to 2012 being the best year yet-and may you keep all the resolutions you make.
