It can happen during all sorts of activities and seasons. Using the senses to become aware of sights, smells, sounds, and other parts of our surroundings is one way to bring the mind to the present. Observing one’s breath, one’s physical and mental state or one’s thoughts without judgement, is another way to bring the mind to the present moment. Some opposite states of mind that take us out of the present moment include when the mind is racing, wandering and daydreaming, living in the past or the future or elsewhere, escaping from the present moment and surroundings. It is human and natural for the mind to wander, and daydreaming has a lot of benefits! If the mind wanders or races too much though, it can lead to diminished returns and negatively affect quality of life. The practice of shepherding the mind back to the present moment or object of meditation can help with cultivating inner peace and focus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/0e05294c-cff8-441c-b4bc-8c45e6555e9f/IMG_5150.JPG Blog - Living Mindfully - During activities where it’s common for my mind to wander, like doing the dishes or driving or gardening, I make it a game to see if I can become aware and bring my mind back to the present moment. I often use my senses to do this, either observing my surroundings or doing a body scan of all my muscles and joints and seeing if anything is tense and what I can relax. Sometimes when my awareness comes back to the present, I’ll realize I’ve been holding my breath! At that point I try to spend a little time focusing on taking steady breaths until I feel more balanced. There are many tools and resources out there these days for living more in the present, and many benefits from consistently doing it. It helps with feeling more grounded and in control, finding aspects of life to be thankful for, feelings of contentment and being connected. https://www.yutoriandyoga.com/blog/blog-post-title-four-lxbwr monthly 0.5 2025-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/3df79c72-ab3e-447a-a20a-93cdec0cf477/IMG_5484.JPG Blog - Slowing Down When life feels like it’s passing by and you don’t have any control, that can lead to burnout, stress, anxiety, and a handful of other unpleasant mental health effects. For me, slowing down has been a positive way to lower those feelings of life passing me by, and therefore lower burnout and anxiety. When I consciously take time out of my day and think through some of the below thoughts, I am able to continue my day afterward feeling a little more refreshed and in control. Saying “No, thank you” is OK and allowed Blocking out time during the day to sit still or do nothing is also OK and allowed Recognizing that good things take time Re-realizing that consistency is key Acknowledging that intention matters Acknowledging that self care tactics can look different depending on person, place, timing, needs and wants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/c325828e-63a5-4905-bb42-d6dc034effe7/_DSC3376.JPG Blog - Slowing Down - Make it stand out Walking around the neighborhood taking pictures of flowers is one activity I lean into for slowing down. https://www.yutoriandyoga.com/blog/blog-post-title-three-p3538 monthly 0.5 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/ffc3b928-9b0d-4dd6-94a2-26bdbf3d8956/7fb2291c-a960-4cde-b363-e002078c53ab.JPG Blog - From India to the world - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/60c78ba4-7567-4dc6-8d6c-122b1458a631/Swami_Vivekananda-1893-09-signed.jpg Blog - From India to the world - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yutoriandyoga.com/blog/blog-post-title-two-h6kfj monthly 0.5 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/e5f14636-704e-48ba-84e8-2452dae65f52/_DSC3470.JPG Blog - The Chakras - The Chakras can be thought of as ‘energy wheels’ vertically aligned in the body. They influence and indicate flows of energy up and down the body. Each chakra / wheel is associated with a color, a lotus with a specific number of petals, and several foods and factors that can influence that chakra’s wellbeing. In the world of yoga, keeping the chakras in balance is key for a healthy and peaceful life. When one or more become imbalanced, the symptoms can show up in a person physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. There are often natural and holistic ways to bring the chakras back into balance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/4eca89e6-fd56-47c6-bf45-161b57096dee/576362.jpg Blog - The Chakras - There are tons of resources in books and online about the chakras! One of my favorite books that goes really in depth about the chakras is “Eastern Body, Western Mind” by Anodea Judith. https://www.yutoriandyoga.com/blog/blog-post-title-one-lapmd monthly 0.5 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/1746636099104-UQJHRNF96FORF40SEQ6V/unsplash-image-S297j2CsdlM.jpg Blog - 8 Limbs of Yoga - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/8d955dba-b33e-4d46-b109-1c3e71e58455/Screenshot+2025-06-02+at+8.26.14+PM.png Blog - 8 Limbs of Yoga - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yutoriandyoga.com/blog/category/yoga monthly 0.5 https://www.yutoriandyoga.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/ccec0cbe-a500-45f5-84ca-d635cc28fb06/_DSC9242-2.jpg https://www.yutoriandyoga.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/6fdb6ea8-f229-419b-83ca-3fc4349cfe1e/IMG_5984.JPG https://www.yutoriandyoga.com/about daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/50c4894a-c656-4397-945b-af338b599174/F9ABD57A-3DA9-48F4-8916-D6FA8FA048C0.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e6bde9497ab2667afe6c2b/a07cdf60-7985-45b4-8e95-2c506de3e472/_DSC9561.jpg
