One of my students informed me that since practicing yoga she brings her shoulders back and down while walking -- and it makes a big difference.
That got me thinking...how do we walk? What message do we send out? Do we feel grounded in our feet and strong in our core? Are our shoulders back and down, opening the chest and the heart? Or do we protect the heart with hunched shoulders, losing stability and grounding?
Every way we move, in fact, sends a message to those around us, and the nice thing is, we can choose that message!
With a regular yoga practice, we very naturally send a message of inner strength and compassion with every move that we make.
