SAY YES TO YOURSELF

6. NADI SHODHANA Meditation
   In a chair or on a mat: Stay seated or recline in Savasana on
   the floor. Close your eyes or look downward. Bring your
   awareness to your mind: Begin to notice the thoughts and
   feelings that come and go. Each time you notice something
   arise, silently repeat the word “yes.” Then see if you can let
   that thought go. This technique helps us learn to work with
   the mind, accepting the thoughts without judgement, and

then letting them go. Notice if your mind begins to settle,

and if so, enjoy a moment of well-deserved rest.

After a few minutes, take a deep inhalation, slowly exhale,

and then open your eyes. Notice how you’re feeling.

TEACHER Jivana Heyman is the founder and director of Accessible Yoga, a

non-profit dedicated to increasing access to yoga teachings. He’s the author

of the upcoming book Accessible Yoga: Poses and Practices for Every Body

(Shambhala Publications).
