We have reached the end of the week, and we hope you've found this journey with the My Daily Thread Podcast enriching and insightful. If you're enjoying the podcast, please subscribe or follow so you don't miss any future episodes.
Yesterday, we delved into the concept of Tristana, a foundational element of Pattabhi Jois's teachings. For those who missed it or want a more detailed exploration, you can find a helpful guide to Tristana on Jeff's website's resource page. This guide, which you can access for free, is part of Jeff's e-book Anxious to Awesome. Visit jefflichty.com/anxious-to-awesome to download your copy and deepen your understanding of this transformative practice.
In addition to these resources, we are excited to announce an upcoming retreat in Mexico this February. This retreat offers an intimate setting with a group of 8-10 people, where you can immerse yourself in your practice while enjoying some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. For more information and to secure your spot, visit jefflichty.com/events.
Tristana, which integrates Drishti (gaze), Vinyasa (breath with movement), and Bandhas (body locks), can significantly enhance your strength and vigour. Jeff frequently emphasizes the importance of these principles in creating a balanced and powerful yoga practice.
Jeff has a simple exercise to try as we head into the weekend, especially when you're feeling heavy or weighed down. Lift your heart and the crown of your head, take a deep breath, smile, and relax your shoulders. This minor adjustment can create a beautiful, uplifting effect on your body and mind.
Observe the transformation this practice brings, and let it fill your weekend with lightness and joy. Thank you for being a part of the My Daily Thread community. Enjoy your weekend!
