Let’s Think About This
APPLICATION
Let’s See What You Have Learned
ACTIVITY
Let’s Talk About These
Imagine that the positions you are doing are feelings. Those were
some of the feelings you caught during the lockdown/pandemic/disaster.
They are feelings of fear, boredom, anxiety, etc. Stop doing the yoga for a
9
moment. Stand straight, deep breath and accept the feeling. Say to yourself,
“Yes, I was feeling afraid.” Or “Yes, I was feeling anxious.”
10
by actually changing your thoughts about the feeling. This process is called
REFRAMING. Where is the feeling coming from? Or, you can ask, “Where is the
ball coming from?” Why did it hit you? How do you manage your feelings? You
can manage it by changing the name of the ball into feelings of gratefulness,
understanding, happiness, and contentment. Breathe in. Breathe out (5x)
