Welcome to Day 9 of our 21 Day Yoga Challenge. If you are just tuning in, the 21 Day Yoga Challenge is to simply set the intention to do at least 5 minutes of meditation and 5 minutes of yoga a day. I’m here to support you with yoga videos, audio meditations, tips and recipes for healthy living.

Today’s focus is Matsyasana (mat-see-AHS-anna), fish pose. This pose has a plethora of benefits including:

• reduces fatigue
• reduces anxiety
• reduces constipation
• improves posture
• stimulates the organs in the body
• feeds the thyroid and parathyroid
• increases lung capacity
• opens the heart, shoulders, spine and neck – stretching the muscles
• releases tension in the belly

…And I could go on with the benefits. You wouldn’t want to do this pose if you have a serious back or neck injury. Also, this pose is somewhat stimulating, so it’s not the best choice before going to bed.

I have several suggestions and “tricks” that you may not have seen elsewhere. Take a look at the video.

Namaste,

Suzanne
