Introspective Flow | Audio Only Yoga Series
The Introspective Flow Series is an audio-only yoga practice designed to facilitate introspection and create space to tune in to the subtle energies and responses of the body. This practice falls under the category of Pratyahara in Yoga philosophy, the 5th yogic limb, and translates into "withdrawal of what's taken in." Not to be confused with sensory numbing or dulling, sensory withdrawal means minimizing external stimuli to reverse the energy flow and focus on what's within.
This is typically done by minimizing the use of senses to 1 or 2. This helps us become more attuned to what's happening inside and absorbed with what's within so that what's outside of ourselves no longer distracts us.
In these audio-only yoga flows, we practice sensory withdrawal while in movement, minimizing the sense of sight and tuning in to the sense of feeling and listening. We are feeling the physical sensations both within and on the outside of the body, and we are listening to the details of the cues.
By decreasing the use of sight (watching and imitating), there is a natural tuning into the body, the space around the body, what feels good, and what the body is telling you to make intuitive adjustments and discoveries.
You are invited to practice trusting your intuition, trusting what you are feeling in the moment, and releasing self-doubt, self-criticism, and judgment of right or wrong based on what you see vs. what you feel.
You are taking a moment to notice yourself….
Our being often tells us when we need sensory detoxing. Every time we use our DND setting, what our being is needing is a sensory break. Every time you desire to shut down all comm or disappear and retreat, this is your body begging for nervous system regulation.
