Today, as we were conducting our last pose "The Pawly Pose" I was explaining that even in the 'meditation' part of the class, you still need to listen to your body.

If you are like me (ADHD) and feel you need to move, then listen to your body and move. I explained that I needed to do a more complex pose before my body feels like it is able to relax. So I lifted my legs up in the air and put the over my head (well, as much as I can anyway).

As I was doing this, Pascoe decided to join me. I was trying so hard not to laugh as I had my 'relaxing meditative voice' on. As I was in this pose, not only was I talking the guys through the relaxation stage of the class, but I was also trying to capture this moment on camera. How I didnt fall over is beyond me.

What a bloody cutie you are Mr Pascoe, you melt my heart. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿพx

The power in slowing down is very underrated.

We are so conditioned to hurry and rush everything we do, particularly if you were in the military or emergency services.

By slowing down, we are able to tune into our bodies and listen to what our body is trying to tell us.

* Is there a part of your body that is holding tension?
* Is your body telling you that you dont feel safe in the environment that you're in?
* Is your body warning you? Maybe the yoga pose you are performing is too intense?

By slowing down, we can tune into our bodies and gather information that may prevent further injury and build up of emotional stress.

The hardest part of yoga isn't the pose, it's patience with yourself.

My style of yoga teaches us that we have a choice when it comes to our yoga sessions. This is giving individuals agency.

What does this exactly mean?
* I can choose not to do this pose,
* I can move slowly from one pose to another if thats what feels good for me today,
* I can choose to do a completely different pose to what the teacher is doing,
* I can lay down and close my eyes if I feel like thats whats best for me, and
* I can leave the class if I choose to.

These are only a small handful of examples that explains what choice base yoga is.

If it doesnt feel right for you- then you have the choice to listen to your body and not do it.

Holding poses for a longer period of time helps stretch the deeper muscle fibres and fascia that has been proven to help calm our nervous system.

Here are some Yin Yoga Poses you can try. Start by holding these poses for 3 minutes and extend to 5 minutes by slowly increasing over time.

Always listen to your body, as your body will always tell you what it needs. This includes when to transition out of a pose. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฉท

A great pose for those that need to gently stretch out your back and neck.

Remember, this pose can be achieved by standing and placing your hands on the back of a chair or bench.

Yoga with Karney at Wellbeing Spot and at Cockburn RSL Sub-branch.

I ๐Ÿฉท how many different ways you can deliver "Stretching & Breathing" to the Veteran cohort.

Today, being the spring equinox it made sense to do yoga in the memorial garden. Being out in the sun, surrounded by flowers and having our feet touching the grass was exactly what the soul needed.

Thank you again to my yogi mate Damian Ranson for your comedy and to master yogi, Pete Pawly ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฉทx

Gentle yoga stretches to help those with back pain.

REMEMBER: Always listen to your body. Our body will tell us what we need and when something is too much.

It's our heads (Ego) that pushes us to go beyond our bodies abilities, which results in pain and sometimes injury. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฉท

Lately, if i havent been teaching yoga, then I haven't been doing yoga.

I wouldn't the first and I will certainly won't be the last yogi instructor to experience this.

If life has been bumpy, you know you need to do the things you know that work- sounds simple, right?

However, when you find yourself with no energy and life seems a little too overwhelming, doing the things you know that work can be bloody hard!

So why am I sharing this? Firstly, that's just what I do!

Secondly, the more we're open about these sorts of things, the more people will make the realisation that they're not alone and they're not the only ones feeling like this.

In saying this, I would do almost anything, if it meant it would help someone in need. So, by helping others, I am helping myself.

To my yogi's who keep showing up, thank you!
Not only are you doing it for yourself, but you are also helping me as an instructor and those who also put their self care first and show up on the mat. ๐Ÿ™

This is where the magic is:
