In this meditation by yoga instructor Vicky, you will be guided through breath counting and breath stages, to allow you to focus on the inhalation breath, the space between, and your full exhalation. Your worries will melt away and you will learn to release tension and anxiety as you follow the simple counts and listen to Vicky’s cues and follow the journey of the breath.
Please ensure you are sitting or lying comfortably before you begin this meditation. Start by closing your eyes. Relax and take a few slow, deep breaths into your abdomen. Feel the tension in your body dissipate and notice how the muscles in your face, jaw and shoulders start to relax.
About the author
Vicky started practicing Yoga while she was studying Foreign Languages at the Universidad Central de Venezuela, 15 years ago. She practiced Hatha Yoga during that time; then left Venezuela and went to Spain, where she lived for 6 years.
Vicky lived in Girona, in the mainland; then moved to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. Here she had the pleasure to meet her Azul Family: her Yoga teacher Radhika who was teaching in Azul at that time, as well as Jamie and Karissa. Vicky assisted Radhika’s Hatha Yoga and Meditation classes. At the same time she started to work with Azul, helping with everything from breakfasts to guiding guests around the Island. She had the opportunity to complete her teacher training in Hatha Yoga at Gayatri Yoga School lead by Radhika and Kiran. She finished her course in 2011 and taught Hatha Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Meditation at Villa Azul and at the Lotus Lodge.
In 2013 she left Fuerteventura and returned to Venezuela. She started teaching Hatha Yoga and Yoga Nidra in the Holistic Center Shamagin, located in Lechería, in the north Coast of Venezuela. She continues to follow her own practice, with her teacher Marlene, and continues to write yoga and meditation resources for Azul, as sharing the benefits of yoga and meditation are Vicky’s passion.
