During my study today I came across a quote by the Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Max Planck - "When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change". This is so true of the problem/niggles that crop up during our daily lives, and certainly in our Yoga practice. This week my intention is to embrace the niyama of Santosa - a spirit of contentment, optimism and acceptance in my approach to work, to life, and my yoga practice.
Santosa encourages honesty with yourself, about what you can ask of your body on any day, choosing an optimistic mindset of the benefits to be gained from modified poses, accepting our limitations and leaving self-judgment at the door (or i the case of Yoga in the park, in the car :))
5.45 pm Monday 10th Feb. Please remember your mat, a towel or rug, water, insect repellent and a grateful, optimistic heart and mind ☀️🙏

I’m coming back to my teaching 🙏. I’ve had some enforced time away with health issues, which, as always in life, has had the silver lining of gifting me time and space to reset and research.
I will continue to be gentle with myself, but interestingly, it now includes working hard at building strength 😁
As I build strength in my body, the benefits of which I’ll go into another day, I’m also creating changes in my brain. When I’m lifting heavy weights I’m teaching my brain I am strong, I am capable.
Your brain believes everything you tell it. And it feeds that back to your body.
As your brain and your body strengthen, when you keep balance with meditative practices, your spirit strengthens too.
All can be beautifully connected, enhancing our experience of life.
We just need to begin.
If you’re unsure how, get in touch.
Namaste, Sally 🙏
