Yoga and Confidence: Building Self-Esteem and Self Trust
Viviane Wolfe | JUN 12, 2023
We have arrived in the month of June and Spring is in full swing. By the end of the month we will officially move into summer, a time of activity, sun, events, and heat.
The theme for this month is CONFIDENCE and we will be exploring how we can cultivate a healthy sense of self-esteem and courage through the framework of yoga.
CONFIDENCE, for me, is a combination of self-love, self-trust, and self-awareness. So as we move through this exploration, remember to stay connected to your sense of SELF and you will find all the confidence you need.
On the yoga mat, we build confidence by staying connected to your intention and purpose. Why are you practicing yoga? Also, taking up space with your body and your breath sends signals to our brain that we deserve to be seen. Lastly, knowing that yoga is a practice, not a perfect, and that failure (like stumbling in a balance pose or resting in child's pose instead of doing another round of vinyasa) is part of the journey and shouldn’t be avoided. We learn in our moments of rest and recovery, just as in our moments of effort.
Off the mat, all these principles apply equally. See where in your life you can take up space, connect to your purpose, and build awareness in moments of “failure.”
