Top 5 Ways to Cultivate Self-Love Through Yoga

Yoga is an opportunity to connect with your true self on a deeper level and an inner journey of self-discovery. The core of it is cultivating a sincere love and respect for your body’s temples, which are where your conscious mind is housed.

Yoga can help you feel better about yourself and get in touch with your inner self. Yoga allows us to be who we are and to be completely present in our bodies without fear of being judged. It allows us to be still and deeply care for ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually.

How to learn to love yourself?

Taking the time to appreciate and fully love oneself is the essence of self-love. It’s about remembering how good you are and letting go of negative self-talk. Self-love is taking care of yourself and giving yourself a break when you need one. It also serves as a reminder that when you love yourself more fully, you not only become filled with more love, but that love also begins to spill over into the world and radiate outward.

Starting today, here are five simple ways to cultivate self-love.

1. Make time for yourself to celebrate:

You can overcome negative self-talk by cultivating self-love. It gives us a chance to reevaluate ourselves and see ourselves in a more positive light. Write a list of the things you like about yourself in your journal to accomplish this. These can be things you like about yourself, achievements, or physical.

2. “Me time” for yourself:

Many of us have a lot of responsibilities for other people and lead busy lives. This includes relationships at work, with children, and with loved ones. Giving to others can sometimes take precedence over giving to ourselves, resulting in burnout. Keep in mind that the more you love yourself, the more love you will have for others.

3. Make self-love affirmations a habit:

Through daily affirmations, you can practice being kind to yourself. A powerful habit that can alter your deep-seated subconscious belief system is practicing affirmations. You can also use your phone to set reminders to check in with yourself multiple times per day.

4. Set reasonable boundaries for yourself:

Knowing your core values and establishing healthy boundaries for yourself are essential components of self-love. Keep in mind that you need your approval to live your best and most authentic life, not the approval of others.

Letting go of bad things and people in our lives can be part of setting boundaries. We can become more aware of our feelings and the events in our lives through meditation. Relax and allow your inner wisdom to direct you. Be brave and eliminate something from your life if it is dragging you down or taking away your joy.

5. Self-love yoga sequence:

Self-love is a very reassuring practice that requires peace and surrender. Additionally, it is an act of empowerment that gives us courage and strength. Consider combining power poses with relaxing yoga poses to get in line.

We’ve put together a quick home-based self-love routine here.

Young boy:

The surrender of the Child’s Pose deepens self-acceptance and self-love. While holding this pose for at least one minute, repeat the following mantra. I am sufficient.

Start on your hands and knees to perform this pose. Extend your arms out in front of you and bring your hips in closer to your heels. Place your head on the mat and let your belly and thighs relax. Maintain a long spine and a relaxed neck. Feel yourself sink further into the ground as you hold and exhale.

Goddess:

In Goddess Pose, connect with your inner God or Goddess. Strength and self-assurance are enhanced through this power pose.

Move your feet a few feet away from the mountain pose and point your toes about 45 degrees toward the edge of your mat to transform into a goddess. Make a deep squat with your knees bent so that your thighs are parallel to the mat. Move your toes and knees in the same direction. Pause you’re breathing a couple of times.

Savasana:

In yoga, savasana is the most calming position. Make the most of this opportunity to cultivate self-love and self-care. Stay longer than 20 minutes here. Diminishing the lights, lighting candles, and playing delicate ambient sounds can upgrade your savasana practice. You can likewise utilize fragrance-based treatment to incite more internal harmony. For self-love and care, the best essential oils are rose, jasmine, bergamot, and sandalwood.

Relax your arms and legs while lying on your back to perform Savasana. Open your palms slightly toward the sky. Relax your facial muscles by closing your eyes. Relax and take now as you breathe naturally and smoothly. Keep in mind that you can give more of yourself to others if you give yourself time to reset.
