Introduction

Hi there, Sarah Beth here! Welcome to this quick and transformative yoga practice that will help you overcome insecurity and discover your inner resilience and strength. In this practice, we will focus on tapping into that inner power and building confidence in your body.

Finding your Inner Strength and Resilience

Even if you don’t see or feel your strength and resilience today, trust that it is within you. Take a moment to breathe deeply and let everything else melt away. As you continue to breathe in and out, trust that the strength and resilience within you will reveal itself.

Starting in a Comfortable Seated Position

To begin, find a seated position that is comfortable for you. I am here in Easy seated pose, but you can choose any position that suits you. Take a moment to tap into that inner strength and resilience, knowing that it is within you, even if you can’t see or feel it. Take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale out through your mouth, letting go of everything else in this moment. Nothing else matters right now.

Establishing a Strong Foundation in a Modified Plank

When you’re ready, come into a modified plank position. Start on your hands and knees, with your hips positioned between your knees and your shoulders. Press your knees and the tops of your feet into the mat and fan your fingers out wide. Fire up your core by dragging the heels of your hands back towards your body. Feel the strength within your body, even in this challenging pose.

Building Strength in a Prone Position

Slowly lower yourself all the way down to your belly, maintaining that inner strength. In poses like plank that can feel so challenging, remember that you have the strength within you. In your prone position on your belly, take your hands underneath your shoulders with your elbows pointing up to the ceiling. Press your pelvis and feet into the mat as you lift your chest up for a low cobra pose. Let your hands be light on the mat and feel your back working. This pose will help improve your posture and build confidence in your body.

Improving Posture and Confidence with Chest Lifts

Keep your gaze a few inches out in front of you as you lift your chest up off the mat, allowing the back of your neck to stay long. Feel the strength in your back as your hands hover above the mat. With each breath, allow your chest to lift further, improving your posture and building confidence in your body. Perform three gentle chest lifts, breathing in and out with each movement.

Adding Variation and Challenge with Locust Pose

Lower your left ear down to the mat, relax your body, and take a moment of belly shavasana. Then, take your arms down by your sides and peel your chest up off the mat. Lift your legs and arms off the mat gently, hovering just a few inches. This locust pose is similar to low cobra and is great for improving posture and creating a sense of pride. For an added challenge, interlace your hands behind your lower back and feel your chest opening up. Embrace the strength and confidence that comes with this pose.

Finding Rest and Relaxation in Belly Shavasana

Lower your right ear down to the mat and release any tension in your body. Take your arms long by your sides or stack your hand underneath your forehead for support. Wiggle your hips from side to side, releasing any tension from your lower back. This gentle movement will help you find a moment of calm and comfort in belly shavasana.

Returning to Child’s Pose for Calm and Comfort

Plant your hands underneath your shoulders and lift yourself up into a tabletop position. From there, move into child’s pose by taking your knees wide and bringing your big toes together behind you. Lower your forehead down to the mat and extend your arms long in front of you. Breathe deeply and let go of any remaining tension. This pose will provide you with a sense of calm and comfort as you release and relax.

Cultivating Inner Strength and Resilience

True strength and resilience come from within, just like a muscle. It’s something you can practice and develop. As you continue to practice, it will become easier to feel strong and stand tall. Hold your head high and embrace the inner strength and resilience that you have cultivated through this yoga practice.

Closing with Gratitude and Namaste

Slowly walk your hands up and come to a seated position on your mat. Place your hands together at heart center and take a moment to express gratitude for tapping into your strength and inner wisdom today. As I express my gratitude to you, I invite you to express your gratitude to yourself. Namaste.
