Y’all know Mercury is in the microwave - that’s why we all feel a lil crazzzzy! This too shall pass, right?

Actually it will, we’re half way through this madness! But let’s break it down a little. Plus ways in which you can center and ground during this madness. Yoga can be a powerful tool to help navigate the challenges that often arise during Mercury retrograde. This astrological period is known for communiction mishaps, travel disruptions, and technological issues. First and foremost, let’s start with a big few DEEP and FULL breaths. Send them right to the belly! 

Your grounding pose during this time: Mountain Pose. This will help you stay centered and balanced when things feel chaotic while combating the scattered energy that Mercury retrograde can bring, keeping you focused and calm.

Your breathwork during this time: Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana). This will enhance mental clarity and focus while improving communication and decision-making, areas often affected during Mercury retrograde.

Your relaxing pose during this time: Legs-Up-the-Wall (Viparita Karani). To help calm the nervous system! This will encourage clear and thoughtful expression, minimizing misunderstanding.

Your reflection practice during this time: Consider Yin Yoga or longer holds in poses that allow you to go inward as Mercury retrograde is a time for reflection. This gives you space to reassess, revisit, and realign your goals and intentions.
