I learned to think about my relationship with my self through the lens of self love. I had never considered that our relationship with ourselves is the most intimate relationship we will ever have. I also learned how and they why of how there are yoga poses that can promote self love and acceptance. One of the poses I learned was Construtive Rest which is where you lay on your back with your arms across your chest as if you are giving your self a hug. Your legs are bend with your feet hip width and the knees knocked in. This position helps release the psoas muscle which I learned is the most important muscles that is connected to emotion.
