Sacred Boundaries: Energy Management through Yoga

Every pose we take on the mat is an expression of energy. Brahmacharya asks: Are you scattering your energy, or containing it? Practicing with awareness helps us draw energy inward, rather than constantly pouring it outward.

Weekly Yoga Practice: A Grounding Sequence for Containment

Focus on postures that build inner strength and stability:

• Mountain Pose (Tadasana)

• Chair Pose (Utkatasana)

• Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana)

• Low Lunge with hands at heart center

• Seated Meditation in Sukhasana

Use Bandhas (energy locks) to draw energy inward, especially Mula Bandha (root lock) in standing poses.

Our mantra for the week is…

My energy is sacred. I honor it with every breath and boundary.

Our journaling prompts are…

• How do I use my energy? Do I guard it or give it away too freely?

• What yoga poses make me feel contained, whole, and strong?

• What would it look like to honor my energy with reverence?

And our meditation is…a meditation to connect to and gather your energy

Visualize a golden light at your navel. With each inhale, gather energy inward. With each exhale, imagine this light growing stronger and steadier.
