Did you know?... Pausing between poses is just as important as the poses themselves. In yoga, the moments between movements give your body and mind a chance to catch up with each other. These gentle pauses aren’t empty space— they’re where the integration happens.

Why pausing matters:

• It allows your nervous system to settle and shift into a calmer state

• It gives your muscles time to release tension rather than push through it

• It helps you notice subtle sensations, alignment, and breath

• It turns your practice from “doing” into “experiencing”

• It trains your mind to slow down, listen, and respond with intention

Think of each pause as a soft invitation to check in:

How is my breath? How does my body feel? What does it need right now?

In my classes at Just Breathe Yoga and Wellness, these moments of stillness are woven throughout the practice— helping you step off the mat feeling grounded, spacious, and restored.

Take a pause today. A real one. Your body will thank you.
