How to get your mojo back through yoga
Feel sexy and creative again with this short yoga sequence.
Feel like you have lost your mojo? Not your normal sparkly self? Want to feel good again? It can be easier than your think. By working on your second chakra, the area of creativity and sensuality, it is possible to get a spring in your step again!
Try this sprightly second chakra yoga sequence next time you are feeling a bit flat.
As with all exercise, please check with your doctor for suitability, and exercise at your own risk.
Warm-ups
1. Stand up tall, make sure the chin is not sticking out. Isolate your shoulders, moving them up with each inhalation and down with each exhalation. Do this ten to fifteen times. Remember to breathe in and out through the nostrils.
2. Next, put your hand on your hips and start to draw circles clockwise with your hips. Start off with small circles and gradually make them bigger. Do this ten to fifteen times, and then repeat on the other side.
3. For the final warm-up, I want you to dance to three tracks of music that you love. Dance as if no one is watching you. Let it go! This will help to wake up the second chakra. As you come to the end make sure you slow down gradually.
Hip Hips
Hips stretches are good for balancing the second chakra.
1. Cobbler pose
As long as your knees are okay, sit up straight and bring the soles of the feet together with legs either close to the body, or further away in a diamond shape. No forcing but rather ease into the pose with the use of breath. Hold for five to twenty breaths. Relax.
2. Wide legged forward bend
Next, from sitting position bring the legs wide apart. You can sit on a yoga block or cushion if you find this hard to do. The goal is never to force yourself to the ground. Instead, it is all about relaxing and letting yourself go forward with the breath. For some just sitting up straight in this pose is a deep enough stretch. Listen to your body.
Come into final relaxation by resting on your back or side for five to ten minutes.
Get up slowly and try doing something creative.
Yeah! Yoga is bringing sexy back!
