🏎 Does your mind race all the time? 🏁

Or lose control?

Or go around in circles?

even though you want to stay on track and
BE in control...

and be connected to the powerful centre, silence and stillness within...

Yes?...but how?

🌬 By learning to use your Life-force /
your 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝...to 𝙎𝙃𝙄𝙁𝙏 internal gears to
higher self...higher mind...

⚙️ Shift higher from the lower levels of powerless chaos, confusion, overeaction, overwhelm, overthinking ...

to cool, calm, clear and connected higher BEING...by learning in time to 𝙎𝙃𝙄𝙁𝙏 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙉...

🏛 The 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙨 taught us to focus on controlling our internal world to be able to handle whatever comes our way in the external environment.

This is not a magic cure or miracle claim...

💪 But with regular practice, your 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙘 𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 and mind will start to recognise the new patterns and new habits of empowered breathing, mental focus/clarity and emotional control to put you back in the driver's seat.

🙌 And yes sometimes we have to ride out some turbulent situations if we've left bad mental/emotional habits rule us, but over time, as part of your mindfulness and wellbeing practices, these breathwork/meditation exercises can positively influence your physiology, build resilience and new ways of consciously responding instead of powerlessly reacting.

💫The Inspiring quote from the 13th-century Persian poet and mystic, Rumi:

"Before you speak,
let your words pass
through 3 gates;
Is it true?
Is it kind?
Is it necessary?",

invites us to pause, examine and qualify our words before they come out into the ether and shape and influence our reality and those around us.

💫 Our words have power.⚡️

🗣 Whether you're speaking to yourself/internal dialogue, to another person directly, either verbally or writing/texting/emailing or even if you're posting comments on social media,
this "3 gate buffer/check-list" has the potential for positive transformation and/or for saving us from regret/negative consequences due to thoughtless, conditioned or impulsive expression.

⏳ Acting as a filter, it allows time, reflection and more importantly, enables emotional regulation, so before you open your mouth or press send, this invitation encourages the practical application of virtue, reason, and aligning with core Stoic principles of being able to control our internal environment of our thoughts/words/actions and not over the external world, so helping us create mindful and harmonious dialogue within ourselves and out toward others.

❌️ This is not about muzzling expression or policing every word, ✅️ but rather empowering, meaningful and mindful communication and strengthening relationships, be it personal or professional, on or off your mats.

💬 By asking these questions:
❓️Is it true?
(Is what you're about to say based on facts? Gossip? Or Assumptions?)
❓️Is it necessary?
(Is what you're about to say add value? Have purpose? Or improve/help the situation?)
❓️Is it kind?
(Or is it cruel? The old "do no harm" principle teaches to speak with tact, empathy and respect. It is not about avoiding conflict, rather learning to speak from the heart truthfully with care, integrity and compassion.

⚡️Words are powerful tools — they can create joy, heal, build, hurt, break or cause us pain.

🙏 Always choose them wisely.

☀️ Join Nia for a unique

𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨
Inspired by Plotinus'
"Return to the One"

BOOK NOW:

💫 7pm - Tuesday 16 December '25
💫 Bookings essential. Text 0403 276 133.
💫 Limited places.
💫 $25 / 1 hour
💫 Ramsgate Life Saving Club

Overlooking beautiful Ramsgate Beach 🌊

💫 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩:
Class will involve slow flow movements to begin with to prepare the body and mind for a nourishing breath centred / meditation practice with focus on unique and practical breathing and visualisation techniques to calm the nervous system and bring about a harmonious connection between breath, body, mind, heart and soul, with the hope to reach a peace within that surpasses all understanding.

🏛 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙋𝙡𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙨?:
Plōtînos / Ancient Greek: Πλωτῖνος; was an ancient philosopher who lived in the 3rd-century CE, regarded by modern scholars as the founder of Neoplatonism school of philosophy, whose ideas had a deep and lasting impact on Western thought and spirituality.

🏛 In a nutshell, Plotinus's philosophy was centered on the spiritual journey of the soul towards mystical union / unification (Henosis /Ancient Greek: ἕνωσις) with "The One",
the ultimate, the supreme being, described as ineffable, transcendent, beyond the limitations of the human mind, essentially the source of all existence and from which all things emanate.

💫The "Return", the journey of Epistrophe / επιστροφή, (turning back) is not a physical journey, rather an internal journey, a process of Remembrance, an internal awakening, of going inward, re-orientating consciousness and transcending the senses to reach the deepest, most divine part of oneself, ones own core, to re-establish contact and connection with this bliss, higher source, divine Love.
💫

🧘‍♀️ In this Stoic Yoga meditation, we will strive and surrender to attain even a glimpse of this mystical, ineffable wonder, stillness and peace💫🙏

🦋 “Everything's destiny is to change,
to be transformed, to perish.
So that new things can be born.”
- Marcus Aurelius

🏛 Our old Stoic friend, guide and philosopher Marcus Aurelius reminds us in his quote that sometimes an old version of ourselves has to die for the new one to be born. The butterfly after metamorphosis doesn't mourn the death of her old self the caterpillar. It understands that life is constant change.

🙌 Pain and suffering often result in us clinging onto old ways that no longer serve our highest good.

🐛 🦋 Metamorphosis, change, transformation, and endings don't have to be perceived as negative events but more positively and necessary as a natural part of life that creates space for the new to emerge.

🐛🦋💪 The word "metamorphosis" / "μεταμόρφωσις" was formed in Ancient Greek from the roots μετά (meta), meaning "change", "after" or "beyond," and μορφή (morphe), meaning "form" or "shape".

🦋 As we are in our last days of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere, use this weekend to reflect and release any old negative patterns and habits that is imperative for your positive growth, expansion and evolution.

🏛 Stoicism teaches us that change is not only necessary, but inevitable and when we live in accordance with nature, with the seasons, within the cosmic order of things, we are more than likely to find this elusive inner peace and tranquility we all strive to attain.

🧘‍♀️ In our Stoic Yoga lessons, we see each lesson as a potential metamorphosis, an opportunity for growth and change, moving from releasing the old to making room for the new. One breath, move, thought and feeling at a time.

Happy Friday fellow humans💪🌊🧘‍♀️🌞

"Stop drifting… Sprint to the finish.
Write off your hopes, and if your well-being matters to you,
be your own savior while you can."
Seneca

"Αδράξτε τη μέρα"
"Seize the Day"
"Carpe Diem"

No matter what language you speak, humans across the world have the same sentiments.

Stoicism emphasizes focusing and immersing yourself in the present moment, what's before us and on what is within our control.

It encourages attention, action and effort in the present moment, on today, rather than worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. Two eternities we have no control over but the NOW.

Seize your now moments today!

Happy Friday🌞💪🌞💪🌞

#Αδράξτετημέρα

21/10/2025

👥️ For many of us, it seems as though our lives are lived and experienced from two perspectives:
the past, either in negative recollection or idealised nostalgic reflection, the other,
the unborn future, burdened with uncertainty, false fears, or high hopes,
both having the potential of robbing us of one thing in our current control, the fleeting present NOW.

Furthermore, most of the things we really "need" are right under our noses but do we see them while we have them?

🔹️Our wants? Desires? Endless!
🔹️Our needs? Essentials? Perhaps already in your current experience but the power of your insatiable desires may overshadow your ability to clearly see the difference.

💪 There is nothing wrong with wanting to level up in life and look forward. Growth and expansion is a natural part of the human experience and also, it's perfectly natural, to fondly recall and reminisce the past.

❓️The key questions are you mostly here or over there? Are you content where you are while eager for more?

For eg, when on holidays are you really there?
Or too busy snapping selfies and not immersed in the fleeting moments? Or is your mind on bills?
Or when you're playing with your kids are you thinking of work? Or when in traffic are you dreaming of getting away?

❓️ So when are you ever really content and thankful for what you have or where you are?

🏛 The Stoics, emphasised the most precious time of all, the holy NOW which is in our control and made a thankful heart a daily habit, regardless of circumstance. Our Stoic guide Marcus Aurelius reminds us:

✨️"Do not indulge in dreams of having
what you have not,
but reflect upon the blessings
you do possess,
and then thankfully remember
how you would long for them
if they were not yours."✨️

🧘‍♀️ In our Stoic Yoga classes we try and practice presence, create contentment and move mindfully by focusing on the task at hand, just as we are. Immersed in the breath that we are currently breathing, inhabiting the pose, appreciating what's infront of our nose, the moment before us.
