Refections on Stability in Change.

Abyasa - the effort to be stable.

According to Patajali’s Yoga Sutras, abyhasa sets the stage for practice and discipline so that we can arrive in clarity (nirodah) with a true foundation beneath us.

✨This might be a physical stability that comes about through gradual and consistent practice - as well as knowing when too much is too much and stepping the practice back.

🌷It might be a link to a steady breath that becomes the monitor for our nervous system and our body function overall. It is neither forced nor too relaxed. Breath and body are in tandem. Interplay.

🌗 It can be an effort to put supports in place so that we have greater capacity to fly in life. To experience freedom.

Abyasa can give us direction. It needs time and practice to grow and embed.

Abyasa teaches us humility. Too often we go beyond what we can do right now and suffer as a result. Failing to see limitation or making the wrong decision for that time.

Or we give up completely because we don’t have the foundation to keep going.

Forming abhyasa takes time and consistent practice. Sometimes we have to swim upstream a little to challenge ourself - away from stability so we know what stability is.
Gradually abhyasa becomes the compass. 🧭

Abyasa cultivates positive states for us that are lived and felt - not simply blissful or fleeting experiences.
When we practice it we have protection and a quiet inner strength to keep moving forward. It is our gift to ourself in yoga and life. 🙏

It’s felt like a long break… a Summer of stepping back and observing, being with the flow rather than dominated by it. ☀️

Some quiet and reflective classes are on offer this week to keep you grounded before we step back into a new term after Australia Day weekend.

Join me on the mat - in studio or at home. All welcome. 🙌🏻🧘🌻

Solitude gives birth to the original in us ~ Thomas Mann

💫 What does it take to return to the ‘original’? We spend most of the day in disconnection from the truly original within us. The layering of life easily forms us as we take on roles, attitudes, protections, practices that pull us into an outward motion… away from centre...

🧘‍♀️ Yoga as a discipline and a practice offers a return to wholeness. By definition the word yoga means ‘to yolk’ - indicating a linking of two things, a merging and reclaiming of a centre we have moved away from.

🌺 The practice doesn’t ask us to be a particular way when we start out but rather to integrate steps that lead us in a direction of inner healing, uncovering an invisible but felt source where our own truth resides.

🌖 Coming out of practice can be like the wiping away of cobwebs or dusting away of a residue. We may have operated at a particular level of ‘ok’ with the residue - yet once it is removed we see the full potential of what exists underneath. A glimpse of this ‘original’ in us becomes the drawcard that leads us back into practice, to once again return to the source.

☀️ This journey to the ‘original’ is a solo endeavour. How amazing that we can be in a class with other people yet still have an innately individual experience! The collective focus or harmony of the group can aid this journey.

🪷 Without doubt we have to make this return to solitude consciously, over and over - we cannot sustain it indefinitely. This is the human nature and a product of living in the world. The tools of practice - body, breath and focus of mind become the pathway. And once we learn these pathways we have them for life. Each return a new birth back to self.

👑 Solitude is our reset.

Intention is the beginning of yoga practice.
We don’t arrive with the first breath or asana.
Our arrival into the process starts much earlier. ✨

Intention begins outside the practice space. Maybe the night before or when we rise in the morning. Maybe weeks before as we sign up for that course or term.

Intention flows all the way through to the final point of savasana in each practice. Or the namaste we recite at the end. And then it begins again.

Intention breeds commitment.
In itself it is a practice in discipline. A collecting of the fractured energy of the mind into a decision and an arrival.

What drives intention? Many things. In yoga we link it to relationship with self. The quest for sitting a little deeper in your own seat. The removal of the clutter. 😶‍🌫️

Stepping in to practice we find the obstacles are still with us. A distracted mind. A stiff body. The to-do list. Past memories floating in.
All is welcome on the mat.
And as soon as the distraction rises, the intention floats in behind it. Ah… I remember why I am here!
I am taking a step forward. 🙏

In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras the very first sutra talks about arriving into the practice with intention - atha! It goes on to describe yoga as a step forward onto a path that must be followed ‘anusasanam’ in relationship… between teacher and student. A journey that has many layers and challenges but rewards those who can maintain the process. ☀️

In life as in yoga, intention rises before action. It is a plan, a hope, even a soft and unspoken maybe… it is the beginning of a path that guides us forward - an eternal beginning and a first step.

Intention is an interwoven link with all our actions. Foundation. 💗

The Therapeutic Space. ✨
There are so many stories in this room. It’s not just a space for group class but a place that holds the individual who comes seeking inner balance and re-connection through the tools that yoga offers.

This is the yoga therapy space.
Individualized practice….seeker and teacher…moving… breathing…chanting…laughing…wondering…sometimes simply listening. 🧘‍♀️

The journey to personal reintegration has many paths. Sometimes it needs a solo approach.
A space to practice or guidance for home practice.
All is possible. 🪷

I’m constantly in admiration of my clients who come seeking personalised practice. There is a desire for personal empowerment when we take the solo over the group path. It involves a deeper knowing or desire for change.

Sometimes it’s convenience, sometimes necessity. The outcome is liberating.

Yoga Therapy isn’t Yoga as you know it: nothing is prescriptive or done a set way. There is simply the understanding of what the person in front of me needs - at that time.
It is an approach that offers support, direction and hope for so many things that this bodily form encounters and its various needs.

Physical - Energetic - Emotional - Personality Patterns - Mental Impressions.
Stepping out of suffering.
Healing through self motivation and action. ⭐️
