Hi Yogis!

Following on from last week's theme, here are some reasons why I believe people seek yoga as a stress management tool...

Yoga is so much more than exercise! It works on all levels of our being: mind, body, energy, and spirit. When we're stressed the body tenses, the mind becomes troubled, our energy contracts, and we find it hard to connect with our inner spirit or wise self.

In Yoga practice we are:
🧘‍♀️ moving the body in a way that releases tension and invites relaxation,
🧘‍♂️ practicing mindfulness and presence,
🧘‍♀️ inviting in more life force energy (prana), and
🧘‍♂️ reconnecting with our spirit.

Focusing for a moment, on just the mind:
🧠 A troubled mind overthinks, catastrophises, ruminates and worries.
🧠 A calm mind stays open to all possibilities.

It is my belief that yoga is the antidote to many of life's challenges, call me biased but I'm a living example of this. It is in the gap between our thoughts that wise solutions to our challenges can arise, and yoga is one of the best ways to cultivate those gaps!

🌟 No Monday classes this week due to the Labour Day public holiday. All classes running as normal on Wednesday. Monday yogis are welcome to book in Wednesday if you still want your weekly dose of calm 😊

Knowing how good you feel after your weekly yoga or meditation class, imagine how amazing you'll feel after gifting yourself a whole day of self care?

Absolutely nothing to do, putting the phone and the chores down, relaxing, being nurtured and supported for the whole day!?

In case you're finding it hard to imagine, here is a snippet of feedback from our previous retreatees. I absolutely love curating these events and supporting your self nourishment, as comments show, they are consistently positive across all of our retreat days.

ICYMI our next Sunday retreat is 19th July, details and booking here

I look forward to welcoming you 😊

There is only one of you in the entire universe! 🌟
You are totally unique and absolutely amazing 🤩

How true are you being to yourself? ... and how much of your life, thoughts and decisions are influenced or ruled by the expectations and opinions of others?

In yoga and mediation we use the Sanskrit term "Samskara" ~ a subconscious impression created in the mind; a set of beliefs which shape our thinking. Our Samskaras are accumulated as we grow, learn and find our way in the world. They are generally formed when we are young and impressionable. They linger in the mind and as we mature into adults they continue to limit our thoughts and choices to those deemed "acceptable" by society and culture.

The mind is not the enemy, but it does live in this land of "shoulds".
The heart and soul have a different opinion.

Holding your truest essence, the heart yearns for open expression, truth and freedom. Through meditation, we can learn to listen more to this voice, and before you know it your life will have blossomed in the most beautiful and fulfilling ways.

We will chat (briefly) on this in tonight's meditation circle, and then we'll experience it together. I am so looking forward to meditating with you! 🧘‍♀️🙏

Hi Yogis!

Do you know what the #1 reason is for why people take up yoga practice? ... Relief from anxiety and stress!

The World Health Organisation defines stress as "a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation". In other words, we often find ourselves in stressful situations, but our thinking is the true cause of stress.

There are several different ways yoga supports our physical and mental wellbeing, and there is more and more research being published that is building a very solid case for the many benefits of yoga.

My personal yoga journey has been one of healing from (among other things) chronic fatigue syndrome. I've just been reading this article that Dad sent me (thanks Dad!) about the link between chronic fatigue and constant activation of the nervous system (from stress) which also effects mental processing, digestion and elevated heart rate .... you can access the article here https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cb9oEKw1M/

All of this makes complete sense! And also explains why yoga and meditation have played a huge role in my own healing, and why I'm here sharing yoga with you 😊

Join me this week for another moderate practice which is an opportunity for inviting more calm and wellbeing into your week. As always adjustments and variations are provided so you can challenge yourself or practice more gently as needed. Looking forward to seeing you on the mat 🌀

Our whole life occurs in the present moment! Staying present to life can be a challenge.

Much of the time, we are thinking by default. Our thoughts follow familiar neural pathways that have been laid out over many years. The mind often operates in the past (rumination, regret, guilt) and the future (fear, worry, anxiety), which means that while we’re in our mind we are missing out on life.

Mindfulness and meditation practice are one of the keys to presence. By choosing where to place your focus, your mind can learn over time what you want it to do and how you want it to operate. It's a practice we cultivate over time and with repetition. Each time we come to meditate, we move a little closer towards awareness and presence.

I so appreciate the opportunity to meditate with you in circle and look forward to seeing you there! 🤩🙏

Hi Yogis!

Welcome to term 2 of yoga and meditation 😊 I trust you enjoyed your Easter break and am looking forward to reconnecting with you this week.

Our yoga this week will be a moderate practice focusing on the heart: so much more than a physical pump which is a very important role but not its only purpose. Some interesting facts about the heart that you may not know:

💜 The heart has a strong electromagnetic field that extends outside of the body
💜 It has a network of neurons, sends messages to the brain, and functions in many ways like the brain
💜 The heart provides us with intelligent guidance that supercedes mental logic (cardiognosis = heart knowing)
💜 Working with heart coherence quickly brings you to calm, balance, and focus

A healthy heart can hold both love and grief, hope and sadness, compassion and courage. Connecting with our heart opens us up to gifts of presence, intuition, happiness, and of course love.

Many yoga poses are good for the heart both physically and energetically and several other practices are helpful to heart healing and wellbeing: gratitude, doing things that give feelings of joy, spending time in nature, certain types of pranayama and meditation, mudra practice, and more.

See you soon! 😍
