Yoga Way - Yoga & Meditation Studio, Alice Springs

03/09/2025

Welcome to Spring and the element of Earth and Water. Yoga practice during Spring is about reflection: Including invigorating breathwork like Kapalabhati or Bhastrika and flows like Sun Salutations, backbends, and heating practices to counter Ayurvedic Kapha heaviness.
Spring is such a potent season for renewal, for letting go, and for beginning again. At the Yoga Way studio we are starting our Spring-themed yoga practice. The personal focus is about detoxification, awakening, and lightness, both physically and emotionally.

Based on the theme "Yoga for One Earth, One Health," the 2025 celebration is an appeal to practitioners to see yoga as a point of transition between wellness at the personal and planetary health levels.

In Hatha Yoga, we now entering the Winter season of our practice, this is a time to align ourselves with the earth element. Winter invites stillness, grounding, and deep inner reflection.

Our focus turns to the lymphatic system and the subtle spaces, the pause between inhale and exhale, the silence between thoughts, the space between reaction and response.

In these quiet spaces, we find resilience. In stillness, we root our asana deeply to the earth. From stillness our personal strength arises.

Welcome to winter and the Earth element

We are transitioning from our Summer cooling water practice into Autumn asanas, which are linked to the wind element. Autumn invites us to let go of what no longer serves us. It’s the time to release old habits and outdated beliefs, surrendering them to create space for renewal.

Our Autumn practice reflects the qualities of wind: movement, freedom, and expansion.

Our Wind mantra:
Let the movement of the air free what you’ve been holding onto. Let the wind carry it away. Moksha: Liberate yourself.”

At last after so many months and more months of dedicated study, I have finally completed this foundation course. It’s very complementary to yoga, as yoga is a modality of Ayurveda.
This is through the EQUALS collage in Adelaide.

A long journey, but have now arrived at my destination

Yoga Way classes are back in full swing, we are creating a nice slow cooling session, and we are setting our personal intentions for the term.
Intentions are not goals, intentions are something you are trying to cultivate. Pay attention to your own behaviour.
Very often others will show you the way, your reactions however, are your responsibility, witness your own responses

WHEN GREAT TREES FALL
by Maya Angelou

When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.

When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.

When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.

Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignoranceof
dark, cold
caves.

And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.
