Yoga For Getting Over a Break-Up
Jul 23, 2008
Pretty much everyone knows from first-hand experience how hard is it to get over a break-up. Even if you are the one who is doing the breaking up we all know how hard that can be too. Everything in life suddenly different because that person isn’t there. The shock is almost too intense to describe, but it’s a universal feeling.
At those times, it’s good to get out of your head and stay active. Try practicing this yoga routine during a break-up, or other difficult period, or anytime for that matter. Daily life presents its own set of struggles so this routine is for you people having a generally happy time too!
The poses in this sequence have two main ingredients: strength and expansion. Each pose requires strength in the legs and core. Your strength allows you to find expansion in the back, chest, shoulders, and head. Oh, the psychological parallels! Resisting getting too flowery with my wording here, I think it’s a nice routine to practice when working through difficult times.
