Mindfulness and meditation 🧘🏼‍♂️🧘🏼‍♀️

Mindfulness - mental state of the mind by focusing on the present moment

Meditation - a practice that involves focusing attention to train the mind, achieve a state of calm and increase mental awareness

Mindfulness meditation helps us to focus on what is happening in the present moment. Tuning in to what you are feeling and sensing without judgement. Techniques such as breath work, guided imagery, yoga nidra and mantra repetition can all help to relax the body and mind and calm the nervous system.

"Mindfulness is the pause button you've always wanted in life" 🙏🏼 💛

The Power of Gratitude 🙏🏼

An attitude of gratitude helps us to appreciate the simple things in life.

Gratitude is a Buddhist practice that helps us to cultivate mindfulness, humility and awareness of our connection with others and our world around us.

Grateful for the support we get from our loved ones and our wider community.

Appreciation for the food we eat, the roof over our heads, the clothes on our backs.

Being grateful for every moment we are given to appreciate life in the present moment.

"I choose to live with gratitude for the love that fills my heart and for the blessings that life gives me" 🙏🏼🩷

Mindfulness & the present moment 🙏🏼

Yoga and Buddhism teach us about the importance of being aware of the present moment.

With all of the distractions around us and within us it is hard to bring ourselves into the present moment.

But mindfulness is about awareness of our thoughts, feelings and body sensations. When we start to notice we start to delve deeper and bring about greater awareness.

Mindfulness is a type of meditation where we focus on ourselves:

🥰 Observing without judgement.

🥰 Focusing on the experience, not the outcome.

🥰 Finding greater balance and inner peace

Be more mindful 🙏🏼 🩷

Buddha, Yoga and Enlightenment 🙏🏼

Buddha is 'the awakened one' or 'the enlightened one'.

In every age Buddha's arise to share the Buddhist teachings to the world and rediscover the path to Enlightenment.

Yoga and Buddhism are both practices of self reflection and spiritual awakening. Understanding the true nature of our human existence and our connection to the spiritual.

🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼

Buddhism and Yoga 🙏🏼🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼

Both traditions have influenced each other over time.

Yoga began approximately 5,000 years ago studying sacred texts, chanting and singing sacred hymns and different rituals aimed at reaching spiritual enlightenment.

Buddhism emerged around the 6th Century BCE studying, reciting prayers, practicing rituals aimed at reaching a state of liberation or freedom from the suffering in life.

Both of these practices share the same essence of attaining Enlightenment through the discipline of their spiritual practices.

"Spiritual discipline is what pleases the soul" ✨🙏🏼✨

My door is always open! ❤️
(A poem by Debra aged 6-0!!)

If you ever need to talk,
If you ever need a friend,
My door is always open,
On me you can depend 🥰

Whatever time of day,
I'll be here into the night,
To hold you in my arms,
To squeeze and hug you tight 🤗

My door is always open,
Step inside and take a seat,
Share your deepest worries,
Take the weight from off your feet! 👣

You're always more than welcome,
To come and sit with me,
I will listen to you talk,
As we share a cup of tea! ☕

My door is always open,
My door is never closed,
Feel free to come around,
If you want to try this pose!! 😜

Summer Break! ☀️
No classes until September 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♂️

It's time for me to sit back and relax!
To slow everything down and recharge my batteries!

Thank you for being in my classes this year. I've really enjoyed your company.

Enjoy your time off and I look forward to seeing you back in class in September.

Om shanti 🙏🏼

Yoga gives us a space and time to journey from the external to the internal.

🧍🏼‍♀️Our external environment - proprioception.

Proprioception connects us with the position, movement, balance and coordination of our bodies in the space around us.

🧍🏼‍♂️Our internal environment - interoception.

Interoception connects us to the internal state of our bodies and our emotions. Allowing us to connect with ourselves on a deeper level.

Having more awareness helps us to tune into the signals that connect the body and the brain.
