27/04/2025

As we move deep into autumn, let's talk a bit more about Vata - that dosha that embodies this season 🍂 Vata is all about cold, lightness and movement, ruled by the two elements Ether and Air.

You might have noticed how the weather can feel a little all over the place at the moment - one minute it’s warm and sunny, and the next, there’s a chill in the air and the mornings are getting darker. That’s Vata energy all around us!

For many of us, this shift can lead to feeling a bit ungrounded.

You know that feeling when the wind picks up and suddenly you’re feeling a little scattered? Maybe your routine is getting disrupted as we transition from summer fun to cozy winter activities, or perhaps you’ve noticed your hands and feet feel a bit chillier.

All of this is a normal part of the transition through the seasons, but also a sign that you might need to move your focus to bringing some balance back into your life.

The antidote to a Vata imbalance is to embrace the opposite qualities - warmth, stability and stillness - and for us this week the energy of practice will move towards a state of feeling balanced, grounded and secure 💫

Physically you'll be exploring Skandasana, a side lunge that allows for exploration of different heights, arm positions and use of props to support yourself in this posture 😊

You'll be focusing on lower body flexibility, hip mobility and core strength - all essential ingredients to help you feel more connected and stable. Plus you'll be warming the body up nicely so you can move into the sweet rest of savasana at the end of practice (everyone's favourite asana 🥰) 💕

Pratyahara is the fifth limb in the eight limbs of Raja Yoga as collated in the Yoga Sutras. Drawing attention inward, it's a journey towards mastery over your external senses, withdrawing your awareness from the outside world to your inner world.

Life is hectic and this powerful practice of moving awareness in to cultivate and expand your own energy helps bring presence and focus to life when you're back in the usual happenings of the week 😊

Restorative and yoga nidra practices are quiet, restful ways to practice pratyahara. But we can incorporate this practice into asana practice too, and that's what you'll be experiencing this week with Kurmasana (turtle pose).

Kurmasana helps to quieten the external distractions and soothe your nervous system, balancing excess Vata (which you might feel as agitation, anxious thoughts, mind racing) in your system so that you can bring more peace and stillness to your day ❤️

Head to our website to book your place in class.

And with two consecutive weekends of public holidays, here's a reminder of the changes to our schedule 😊

◇ Monday 21 April - 9.30am Hatha on as usual (6am and 6pm classes are cancelled for this Monday only)

◇ Friday 25 April - 9.30am Yin is on as usual (6am class is cancelled for the public holiday)

We also have our monthly Sound Bath + Yin class on Sunday 27 April at 3pm. You'll be guided through a deep inward journey, beginning with an exploration of Yin and pranayama and gradually moving towards the more subtle, inner experiences of sound. Learn more and book your spot at our website 🕉

See you soon 💕

We're taking practice back to twists this week, focusing on the seated twist Marichyasana III.

Marichyasana III, the sages twist, is a beautiful shape to focus on creating a stable, grounded base. By grounding through the points of your body touching the earth, you'll be able to focus on the internal lifting and rotation of your spine, starting from your navel and working all the way up to the top of your head.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali tell us "sthira sukham asanam" - steady and comfortable should be the posture.

In this twist, you can explore the interplay of these qualities of sthira (steadiness) and sukha (ease) - finding stability through your base, connected to the earth, so there can be ease and freedom in your movement and breathing. Your breath helping to release tension in your body so you can settle deeper into the stillness of your practice ❤️

​Head to our website to book your place in class this week.

And with the Easter long weekend coming up, we have a few schedule changes:

◇ There won't be any classes on Friday 18 April or Sunday 20 April

◇ Beach Yoga is on as usual on Saturday 19 April at 8am

◇ And only one class on Monday 21 April - 9.30am Ayurvedic Hatha

See you during the week 💕

Malasana is one of those poses that can communicate so much about what's going on in your body. We all have different ranges of mobility, areas of tension, strengths and challenges and these all play a big role in how you feel and look in this posture.

In English we call Malasana garland pose or yogi squat and yes it's a get-your-knees-wide, bottom-close-to-the-ground squat 😊

Unless squatting is a daily part of life (which for most of us it isn't!), Malasana can feel a little awkward and clunky. But this week we're going to pay attention to bringing fluidity to the ankles, knees and hips so you can find your most comfortable, stable Malasana.

And this might mean your feet are facing the sky! We're going to explore Malasana as both a standing, grounded asana (with prop options to support your body) and a supine, fire building core asana.

Being the Vata season of autumn, practice will continue with the qualities of nurturing and centering but also warming, staying with the focus of activating your parasympathetic nervous system so you feel tranquil and balanced after class.

Twists are an important part of our personal practice, and there's rarely a class we teach where there isn't some kind of twisting asana included.

Standing, seated or lying down, twists are amazing for spinal health and feel so good too 🌟

Building stability and flexibility in your spine, twists are also super helpful for stretching and lengthening your spine, helping to keep your back happy and healthy 😊

The breath is an important focus as you move in and out of twists and focusing on the exhale while moving helps to stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system (the part of your being responsible for rest and digest).

The combination of twisting and exhaling is energetically centering. Concentrating prana (your life force energy) at your navel centre, twists help you to cultivate inner balance, create focus and aid in digestion of your experiences in life.

And that's what you'll be doing in practice this week. Different variations of lunge twists to enliven your spine and create an inner experience that is calming, grounding and centering.

Can you feel the shift? The days are getting shorter and autumn's cool embrace is slowly coming into our nights 😊

In Ayurveda, autumn is known as a Vata dominant season, bringing dryness, wind and subtle changes as we transition from summer's fiery days to winter's chill.

We're honouring this beautiful time of change by infusing practice with grounding, nourishment, steadiness and warmth. And this week, we're weaving these qualities into practice with Parsvottanasana - pyramid pose.

The invitation in class is to focus on grounding through the feet, creating steadiness and stability. Allowing your deep belly breathing to regulate and soothe your nervous system, creating calmness in body and mind.

Nurture your inner balance by joining us for class this season - book your place at our website.

And a reminder our monthly Sound Bath + Yin class is happening next weekend, Sunday 30 March at 3pm. Bookings essential.

And we have some special announcements!

✨ A big welcome to our newest teacher Claire 🥰 Claire is a graduate of our Yoga Teacher Training and we're thrilled to have her continue sharing her connection to yoga with all of us. Claire and Laura will alternate teaching the 8am Sunday morning class.

✨ We've just released details of our brand new Ayurveda workshops! The first workshop will go over the fundamentals of Ayurveda and will be followed by workshops on the three pillars of health.

✨ And we've also announced dates for our 2026 Yoga Teacher Training 🥳 We've changed the format slightly so that now all modules will be held over the weekend, so you won't need to negotiate time off work to complete your training.

Many thanks for being part of our vibrant community, see you during the week 💕

On Thursday we'll be honouring the Autumn Equinox, one of two moments in the year where day and night are equal. A balanced moment in time as we begin our journey into autumn 🍁

Ayurveda attributes certain qualities to everything that we share our planet with, and autumn is seen as dry, rough, windy, erratic, cool and subtle.

There's the variable weather, some hot days still sneaking in as our environment gradually begins to cool down. The wind can feel a little chilly, especially at night and you may begin to notice nature's delicate changes ☀️

To counteract these qualities of Vata, it's important to draw in the balancing qualities to create stability - warmth, grounding, nourishment, heartfelt relationships and a sense of routine.

Balancing Vata means connecting with deep, restful forward bends, and this week you'll be exploring Prasarita Padottanasana (Wide Legged Forward Bend) in practice.

Slowing down the breath to soothe the nervous system and focusing on stillness, stability and support ❤️

You can book your place online at our website.

And our monthly Sound Bath + Yin class is happening on Sunday 30 March at 3pm - bookings essential.

See you during the week 💕

Have you noticed it yet? The cooler nights and *some* not-so-hot days are rolling in as we move into the Perth version of autumn 🍁 It might not be the golden colours of other parts of the world, but it's our unique way of experiencing the seasonal shift ☺️

Speaking of shifts, have you heard of the astronomical autumn equinox? It's that special moment when day and night are perfectly balanced, and it's happening this month on 20 March. It's a wonderful opportunity to encourage the idea of balance into your yoga practice too.

This week, we'll be honouring the transition from summer to autumn, from Pitta to Vata season, by exploring some fun balance asanas in class. You'll be playing with poses like Vrksasana (Tree Pose), which requires a strong connection to the earth while reaching for the sky. Just like a tree, you'll be finding stability and steadiness through your grounded foot, while letting your upper body be fluid and supple.

As you step onto your mat this week, consider setting an intention to cultivate calmness, steadiness, and focus in your body, mind, and spirit. These are all wonderful benefits that your practice can bring during this time of change, and the qualities that we look to cultivate throughout Vata season.

And a reminder our monthly Sound Bath + Yin class will be on Sunday 30 March at 3pm - you can find out all about it at our website.
