Quick and fun, this yoga class will probably suit kids 8 years and upwards. Kids can do it on their own while you get on with something else. Kids will get m...

I have had a few requests for the podcast interview of James Ricketson that I mentioned in class - James is discussing his thoughts on happiness after spending 15 months in a Cambodian jail. Here is the link:

"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good". In class this week we discussed how this applied to different aspects of life. Rather than potentially not doing something because you're worried about not attaining perfection, some things are worth doing just adequately. Yoga self-practice is a good example. It's much better to get on your mat and move and breathe than not practice in case you don't do the poses perfectly. Here are the images I promised of Sun Salutations - I hope they help you get on your mat.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that..” Martin Luther King.

This week for our seated meditation practice we are doing the Loving Kindness Buddist meditation.

It is said that those who practice this meditation will have their fears eased, their heart and minds calmed, they will sleep and wake more peacefully and are able to give and receive love more readily.
