Most people believe meditation means stopping thoughts.
That’s why they sit down, close their eyes… and feel like they’re failing within seconds.

The mind starts racing.
Plans appear.
Memories surface.
Worries knock loudly.

And people conclude: “I can’t meditate.”

But here’s the truth 👇

Meditation is not about forcing the mind to go blank.
It’s about changing your relationship with your thoughts.

At first, the mind is noisy — and that’s not a problem.
That noise was always there; you’re just noticing it for the first time.

Then something subtle happens: You stop fighting the thoughts.
You stop chasing them.
You stop believing every story they tell.

You begin to observe without reacting.

Thoughts still arise —
but they no longer own you.
They pass like clouds, while you remain the sky.

With time, the mind naturally settles.
Not because you controlled it,
but because you stopped interfering.

And in that quiet awareness: • Clarity replaces confusion
• Peace replaces restlessness
• Presence replaces overthinking

Meditation is not about thinking less.
It’s about being less controlled by thinking.

Sit.
Breathe.
Observe.
Let go.

The calm you’re searching for
isn’t something you create —
it’s something you uncover.

I found the study!
I’m back and hope to see you all tomorrow 🙏♥️

Stronger legs could mean a sharper mind
Your legs might be the key to a sharper mind! A groundbreaking 10-year study from King’s College London has revealed that leg strength can predict brain health better than genetics. The study followed 324 female twins and found that those with stronger leg power at the start of the study experienced slower cognitive decline and better-preserved grey matter after a decade.

What’s fascinating is that the twin design of the study controlled for genetics and early environment, isolating leg strength as a unique predictor of brain health. This suggests that activities like squats, lunges, climbing stairs, and resistance training could be among the best investments you can make for your future brain health.

The connection likely stems from improved blood flow, growth factors, and the complex muscle-brain communication pathways that are activated when you work your legs. The stronger your legs, the more likely your brain will remain sharp as you age.

It’s a simple but powerful takeaway: if you want to keep your mind in top shape, it’s time to hit those leg workouts! The future of brain health might just lie in your lower body.

Hi Students. Our class will not be going ahead on Friday due to the cyclone.
Please note next week New starting time is 10 am till 11:30 am on Fridays.🙏♥️

Greetings to all my new students. I’m so delighted to have you in my class.
My class runs from 930 till 11 am on Fridays.
Don’t worry it is not an hour and a half of exercise. There is plenty of relaxation.
Classes are $15 cash.
Please bring with you if you have them-
A good Yoga Mat that won’t slip.
A Yoga bolster if you have one. If not I can advise you where to buy one. Necessary for the restorative poses and to make your practice more comfortable.
I have  a limited supply of blankets, but if you wish to bring your own please do so for under your knees back and neck. Also a sarong or something to cover you for relaxation.
An eye cover if you would like to use one.
 I have yoga straps but if you have one that you would like to bring please do so and exercise band is fine.
Water.
 Please don’t bring your mobile phone into class. If you do please make sure it is switched off. Once the class starts there is no talking in class.
Please don’t wear strong perfumes to class as some people are sensitive and allergic to them.
 If you come late, that is fine, but please come in quietly and just join the class.
I don’t adjust my students so please listen to my instructions and demonstration. Do not look at what other people are doing in class as everybody is just doing their own thing within their own limits and you do the same. I want everyone to feel comfortable in the class And work at their own pace.
It is fine to skip poses if you feel they are too challenging. I teach a multilevel class which means I give you many different options. Just do whatever feels right for your body on the day and if you just want to relax that is also fine if you need a break come into child’s pose or just lie down on your back.
If you snore ( during relaxation) try lying on your left side or having a bolster under your back usually stops it.
Please let me know if you have any limitations or injuries before the class by coming early so that I can advise you. And I am free to talk to you after the class.
I so look forward to sharing the benefits of yoga with you🙏♥️
