Yang Energy​​​​​​​​

​

Yang energy involves active, dynamic, heat-building movement. We focus on building strength, stamina, and flexibility by engaging muscles to improve circulation.​

​

Increasing yang energy in your fitness regime begins with creating inner heat. This can be achieved through high-intensity weight training and cardio that makes you sweat.​

​

As the weather gets warmer and the sun shines brighter, brisk walks or runs outdoors, soaking up the sunlight, can also improve yang energy.

​

In yoga, we can use mindfulness to support yang energy by balancing, calming, or redirecting active energy through intentional awareness. This can involve grounding yoga, restorative yoga, and meditation.

​

Conscious breathwork, such as deep breathing, box breathing, or focused breath, allows us to manage stress by calming the body and mind.

​

Breath of fire and alternate nostril breathing can be used to boost motivation through activation of the core, creating inner heat.

​

As we build heat, increase action, and encourage expansion, not only will we improve yang energy, but we will also strengthen and enhance our personal power.

​

Let’s use this month to challenge ourselves, create our own inner heat, and build our physical and emotional inner power.
