‘Train your mind to see the good, train your body to feel the good.’ - Patrick Beach.

Monday reminder to carry that relaxed weekend nervous system with you into the week ahead.

Best way to do that? Mindfulness.

3 tips to get mindful before your work day:
1. Close your eyes for a moment. Sense how you’re breathing. Watch belly rise & fall.
2. Do a body scan - are you clenching, holding tension in jaw, fists, shoulders neck. Invite it to relax.
3. Become sensory - what can you see? What can you smell? What can you feel? (Heat, breeze). Bonus tip- do all 3 as you take a sip of morning coffee. Close eyes, inhale the beans, enjoy that first sip, relax. You’re good to go👊🏽

New year, new bro code.

What if this year you decided to outgrow those limiting belief systems holding you back…

You know the ones you have ready to go whenever someone mentions yoga.

‘I’m too old to do yoga’
‘I’m not flexible enough to do yoga.’
‘I can’t touch my toes so I’d be no good’
‘I couldn’t do meditation, I can’t concentrate enough.’
‘My back would hurt if I had to sit for that long.’
‘This old body’s too tight there’s no point’
‘I’ve got too many sporting injuries, not worth trying.’

What if rather than the above, you took some advice from a legend Martin Luther King instead.

He says, You don’t need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

Why not make 2022 the year you move, breathe, mobilise & give your body and mind the peace it deserves?

Just a thought😉

Watch this space for class announcements or DM/email for privates.

Kicking off 2022 with our first athlete bro yoga session of the year💥⚡️⚽️🥅

Our founder Sam put the South Hobart FC NPL team through their paces taking the lads through a 45 minute pre training lower body mobility flow.

Focusing on hips, hamstrings and thoracic mobility the team hit the ground running throwing their bodies back into pre season training for the year and moving through a series of twists, lunges, half splits and forward folds to free up tissue for the season ahead.

With only 2 of 15 lads having tried yoga, all managed to ‘hit the ground running’ (so to speak) and give it a red hot crack. Thanks to all the bros present and the open kindness and good banter along the way👊🏼🙌🏻

It also helps tight hips, piriformis and lower back.

To try it… see guide below.

Reclined pigeon - lying down
1. Lie back on a mat, spine relaxed.
2. Bend knees, soles of feet on earth.
3. Hook one foot over a knee.
4. Flex toes if can (in towards body)
5. Thread hands through the gap between legs
6. Interlace fingers behind hamstring of underneath leg
7. Draw the underneath leg towards chest.
8. Relax head down, chin tucked in.

Standing pigeon - for during office hours

2. Cross one foot on top of knee.
3. Squat down.
4. Stay for a while, relax head down

Aim for 10 breaths! Inhale to relax exhale to squeeze in a little more.

Note boys: the neck often gets strained in this one if not aware. Practise unlocking the jaw, closing eyes, letting head relax.

Never done yoga because it seems to be a ‘feminine’ sport?

We feel you. Between the mums, Lycra, sea of women and modern aesthetics it’s a bit much.

Well not our space lads…

At bro yoga our studio spaces are considered with men in mind.

We selected spaces that feel comfortable, non-intimidating, ‘manly/masculine,’ simple and align with men.

This is our main class location.

Located at a martial arts studio in Sydney CBD, with exposed brick, comfy floors and New York loft vibes with good light.

Held at Garage Jiu Jitsu - 422 Kent St,
the main crowd usually pulling moves here are men.

Come make moves with us next week for our Movember x bro yoga launch!

Wed 1st Dec - 1:15pm - ticket link in the bio 🙏🏼
