Good morning and happy new moon - new lunar cycle begins,
This morning I’ll be teaching a Slow Soothing Sunday Yoga Session at 10 am for the Online membership (you have instant access if you join now).
I asked the members what they needed (usual timetable is Wednesdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 9am). And I had an overwhelming response: a relaxing slow class.
So that’s what they’ll get. And it’s perfect timing in many ways. It is the new moon. A great time for inner contemplation, of planting seeds, slow rejuvenation, new beginnings - yet we are still in the very dark time of the moon phase. And its the perfect time to prepare and tend to the soil where we plant these seeds or even contemplate and meditate on what might evolve...
Moving slowly and finding ease gives us that space.
In fast-paced times where doing, achieving and being busy (very pitta and Type A qualities) are celebrated, it can be easy to get carried away - and to burn out.
When there are worries, instability and change in the World and our personal lives (very Vata), it’s easy to feel ungrounded and anxious.
So we need slow, steady groundedness (like Kapha dosha). A time to be more still and let our minds (and bodies) have a bit of a rest.
I see this through an ayurvedic lens. But as you can see, this is pretty intuitive, and we learn it with experience and awareness. For me, Ayurveda has the language, principles and foundations to understand life and myself better. It is the sister science of yoga. They have the same roots... And that is how I teach the yoga classes too. From the ayurvedic perspective.
So I share a few principles like this in our newsletter and classes. But I would love for you to understand it better for your own yoga practice and life - and if you teach yoga too.
That’s what Ayurveda: The Sister Science of Yoga online course is all about. We start the course on Tuesday 26th May. Running for 6 Tuesdays between 5:30 - 7pm with all session recorded so you can watch anytime if you can’t make it live on zoom.
