Intuition - your inner voice

Listening to Your Inner Voice in Yoga Practice and Life

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it is easy to lose touch with our inner selves, to ignore the profound wisdom that resides within us. Yet, in the practice of yoga, we find a sanctuary a sacred space where we can reconnect with our intuition, listening to the guidance of our inner voice.

Discovering wisdom within

Yoga is not just a physical practice; it is a journey inward. Through mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation, we create the conditions to hear our inner voice more clearly. This voice, often referred to as intuition, is our innate ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning.

How to Listen to Your Inner Voice
​

1. Create Stillness: In yoga, we often begin with stillness. This could be in the form of seated meditation or simply taking a few deep breaths. Stillness allows us to quiet the external noise and tune into our internal world.
2. Practice Mindfulness: Being present in the moment is key to accessing your intuition. Whether you are on the mat or going about your daily life, try to stay fully engaged with what you are doing. Notice the sensations in your body, the rhythm of your breath, and the flow of your thoughts.
3. Trust Your Feelings: Intuition often speaks to us through our feelings. Pay attention to how you feel in different situations. If something feels right, it probably is. Conversely, if something feels off, trust that feeling too.
4. Reflect Regularly: Take time to reflect on your experiences. Journaling can be a powerful tool for this. Write down your thoughts, feelings, and any intuitive insights you receive. Over time, you may start to notice patterns and gain deeper insights into your inner wisdom.

By cultivating a regular yoga practice and making space for stillness and reflection, you can strengthen your connection to your inner voice and live a more authentic, fulfilling life.
