Aparigraha, the final yama teaches us the art of letting go. As Autumn leaves fall and return to the earth, we too learn to let go of holding on to thoughts, emotions, possessions and tension.

Autumn connects us to the yin yang pairing of the Lungs and large intestine. The first draws in the air and the latter gets rid of the waste. Nature reflects what is needed through our body at this time.

When unbalanced the lungs hold our grief but as the air cycles through the body and is transformed so can our grief be transformed into gratitude through time and rest.

🍂 are you able to let go of circling thoughts, clutter, unnecessary work?
🍂 do you allow yourself to feel sadness and grieve when needed?

Let Autumn be your time to shed and let go, to move into Winter unburdened, ready for rest.

Exploring all this and more in yin yoga this week.

Brahmacharya - moderation

Literally, means connecting with the divine.

Historically this was done through the preservation of energy through celibacy. In today’s world this means moderating and concentrating our energy by building our inner vitality and in doing so committing to our spiritual path and finding oneness with the divine.

We can do this by
💫 sitting quietly and gathering energy through our breath
💫 concentrate on your thoughts and become aware of where in your life energy is drained or where it is strengthened
💫 connecting with our own energy changes and soul needs leads to a more personal connection with the divine

Off the mat this week, consider how you use your inner resources. Does your energy drain or replenish in your thoughts, actions and relationships?

Asteya is the practice of non stealing but the third yama has more subtle definitions.

🍂taking from yourself: energy, breath, lack of self care, comparing to others
🍂taking from others: time, ideas, possessions
🍂taking from the earth’s resources through waste or overuse

Yin is a practice of giving back to ourselves of not stealingour time, energy or breath. It’s asks us to not move beyond our limitations, to breathe completely and practice self care, allowing ourselves to be fully in the present moment.

Satya - honesty or truthfulness

Exploring the second yama this Thursday in yin.
Satya means honesty or truthfulness with our words, thoughts and actions. Yin asks us to be honest with our bodies and how far to go in a shape on the mat. Off the mat this yama asks us to be sincere and authentic so that our actions line up with our values.

Satya is a heart practice asking us to be brave and be honest with what we are doing with our lives, who we are and our intentions.

Restorative yoga changes your internal state.

🍁Change your internal state, change your consciousness.
🍁Change your consciousness, change how you interact with others.
🍁Change how you interact with others, you affect everyone around you, your family; your friends; your community.

Restorative yoga invites calm over reaction, peace over anger.

Change your state of being.

Follow your breath.
Follow the rise and fall of your belly.
If a thought comes, acknowledge it.
Return to following your breath.

A focus on breath awareness in our next restorative mini retreat. Where our breath goes energy flows. The exhale lengthens and the body and mind responds with calm and relaxes.

What a soothing way to start back after the holidays!

January’s restorative mini retreat focused on deep rest to gather energy for the transition into the Year of the Horse.

Thank you to all who came, it was lovely to lead you into rest and relaxation.

I would like to thank everyone who has followed and supported me in the past year whilst I began my yoga teachings in the Yurt. It has been a year of surprises, challenges but also one filled with rewards. Without you coming to my classes or mini retreats, or following me online, I wouldn’t be able to exist. Thank you with the deepest of gratitude for sharing my yogic journey.

January can bring lots of noise about resolutions and reinventions, vision boards and goal setting but it may feel the wrong timing to make new beginnings. Energetically, we are still in the Year of the Wood Snake. We are in the space between endings and beginnings. Depending what you follow, many New Years are celebrated in February, Solar New Year - 4th February; Lunar New Year - 17th February and Lammas - February 1-2. Until then we are in a place of letting go.

Now is the phase of the deep exhale. This time is not for pushing forwards but for clearing; decluttering; letting go; becoming still and being present. Use this time to look at what no longer serves you, what drains your energy and what no longer aligns with you. Use the quiet to integrate what you have learned over the past year to transform into the next 9 year cycle.

Our next mini retreat will give you a pause before the rush. Invite in this time to rest, to breathe, to shed and to clear your mental space.

With love and light,
Amelia
