Scientific research on fidgeting suggests it has evolutionary benefits. Yoga teachers may tell you differently. Here's what you need to know.

RESTORATIVE YOGA has PROPS supporting you.

Reclining bound-angle posture uses a belt to support hip-opening with blocks supporting your spine & skull.

As the soles of both feet are pushed together evenly, the energy flows up leg bones and creates space in the knees, hips and spine. Your inner thighs lengthen until abdominal tension lets go, increasing circulation to abdominal organs.

Because the chest is open and it's easier to breathe in this position, we practise breathing techniques for up to 10mins here.

📷 6.45am session at Noosa Leisure Centre today. See NLC website for details.

We each have two ways of looking at ourselves.

One is inwardly drawn, hyper-focused and ultimately defensive.

Another is open and ready to receive and express life. It's assertive.

Practising yoga helps nurture patience between these two aspects of ourselves. It brings a level of patience and listening to feedback from the mind and body, that I’ve never found with any other discipline.

It brings me to the present moment again and again, when I surrender all my doubts, fears and stories cluttering up my ability to feel clear and free.

Many people say that after starting yoga they feel mentally stronger, more relaxed, less depressed and more level-headed than before.

In other words, yoga teaches a new kind of attention.

People who practice yoga learn how to accept all the stress-inducing thoughts that flit around in one’s head – negative self-talk, worries, snap judgments – as just that: thoughts, and nothing more.

Since reacting to our thoughts is typically what gets us into trouble, learning to attend to them and accept them nonjudgmentally is key. Then we can let them go.

By practicing yoga, we’re training our awareness to attend to the flow of thoughts, feelings and sensations in the body – and to be with these different states without self-judgment or reactivity.

Paying attention to one’s thoughts in a nonjudgmental way is what mindfulness training is all about. Scientists have studied how mindfulness courses can change people’s reactions and behaviors AND how they can literally change the structure and functions of the brain.

Life is a lot more pleasant when we learn to stop seeing our thoughts as serious matters, and start seeing them as interesting, entertaining and harmless, unless we react to them.

They are like clouds that float in and out of our consciousness. Your mind is open and clear blue sky.

When you have done a few yoga classes, you’ll start to notice space between your thoughts. You'll notice space between each breath in and out. This pause provides a moment of time between one thought and the next.

It gives you the opportunity to react or surrender to the flow of your breath, knowing it comes from a wiser and more powerful source than you, that always wants the best for you.

Life. BE in it.

PS. We will be focusing on arm balancing and abdominal postures all this week, starting today at 9.45am. See noosaleisurecentre.com.au for details.

Im going to tell you before I tell these people, pictured in deep relaxation this morning, after practising backbending & twisting postures.

It's after a yoga sequence that identifies spinal afflictions and releases patterns of thought, feeling and actions associated with their discomfort.

At this final stage of the practise, I encourage people to allow their awareness to follow the in-breath to the tailbone, observing sensations there, while consciously softening with each exhalation ( because that's when the body naturally softens )

I encourage them to ask their tailbone if it has a
message for them today. It may come as an image,
word or feeling. It may come as an intuitive understanding or 'knowing'.

I see a long-legged black spider clasping my tailbone and moving its legs to climb up my spine. Rather than create a story about it in my head, I continue to release tension in that area and watch what happens there. I sense the spider wants to tell me something.

Then I invite us all to follow the breath into the middle
of the spine around the back waist. My spider has
moved there and is continuing to move up my spine. I feel energy rising up my spine with it but I also feel congestion on the right side of my tailbone. I picture it as dark and limitless space, filled with cells like a beehive. I cannot see into the tubular cells and ask the spider what it is.

The answer is "that's more spiders waiting to come out and work for you."

What the??? Spiders weave the web of life. They symbolise creativity and feminine sovereignty. But I don't dwell on what all this could mean and return to the meditation, by focusing on following the in-breath into the spine, observing sensations and being receptive to what that part of the body is telling me.

It tells me to release tension in the neck. So I guide everyone to observe the front and back of their spine inside the neck. I release tension in muscles either side of the cervical spine and ask if it has a message for me.

The answer is: " You have so much more to say."

And that's why I am sharing my experience with you. I shall lead all my yoga students in a similar meditation before, during and after yoga postures next week.

Put your hand up 🙋‍♀️ if you'd like me to provide this meditation for healing online and I can organise an effective way to do it.

This is Week 2 in our 5-week cycle of postures. It's time to be more playful with arm balancing and abdominal postures.

You never know what you can achieve with these playful postures because we practise all kinds of postures to help you progress in all kinds of postures.

We just dont get enough time to focus on all kinds of postures in every class. Today is the day we start focusing on arm blancing and abdominal postures like this Flying Splits Pose / Koundinyasa (Sanskrit)

We did it early this morning but I did it again because it brings so much joy and lightness into my world.

This is the art of yoga.

It makes you better. It makes your body better. It makes the world a better place.

Eight-Angle pose (Ashtavakrasana) is an advanced arm balancing & abdominal yoga pose. We practice it after consolidating both sides of the body evenly, in the seated Staff pose (Dandasana). Then we put our leg over the shoulder in Elephant Trunk pose (Eka Hasta Bhujasana) and then lift the hips in Eight-Angle pose (Ashtavakrasana)

Categorized as an asymmetrical pose, it impacts both sides of the body differently. So we return to Staff pose (Dandasana) to consolidate afterwards.

If you look more closely and imagine how it would feel, leg-over-shoulder balance satisfies an innate desire to draw in the outgoing energies of the pelvis, legs and arms.

It helps us ignite a fire in the belly (your determination) that is dull or asleep, drawing it up to energy centers in the heart, throat and head. Integrating wayward energies of the pelvis and chest can be difficult but it is an important prerequisite for sitting poses like Staff pose (Dandasana)

Practising any yoga posture helps us weave wayward energies, organizing & integrating them into a coherent form.

This is the art of yoga.

I hope you enjoy it.
