Article SummaryX

To do yoga meditation, start by finding a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Then, sit on the floor with your legs crossed and your back straight, and start deepening your breath. Once you’re relaxed, start working your way through different yoga poses, like cow pose and thunderbolt pose. As you move between poses, focus your attention on your breath and body, and try to let go of any distractions. If it helps, keep your focus on a single object in the room, like a mark on the floor. The goal is to be completely present and aware of how you’re feeling, but don’t worry if you find yourself getting distracted at first. With practice, yoga meditation will get easier!
