Sloth Yoga: Deep Relaxation Part 1: How to Relax Like a Sloth Fitness Mindfulness
My daughter and I recently had the opportunity to hang out with sloths in Panama. You can incorporate their slow, non-stressed way of living into your yoga/mediation routine. Here is how to relax like a sloth:
- Lie comfortably on your abdomen (preferable for sloths when not hanging from a tree or stuffed toy) or on your back (preferable for humans).
- Hide your face from the light or place an eye bag over your eyes, if desired.
- Get comfortable and, like a sloth, instantly relax.
- Ignore everything around you – even paparazzi, tourists, etc.
Don’t worry if you fall asleep into a deep, short power nap. Affects will be similar. Imagine yourself as a sloth, and practice relaxing deeply instantly.
Come back next week for part two of Sloth Saturday Yoga and happy relaxing all week long!
