🌿 Monthly Theme: Muladhara – The Root Chakra
Muladhara is our energetic foundation. It governs grounding, stability, safety, trust, and connection to the earth. When we feel rooted, we move through life with steadiness and inner support.

We will be working with our core, inversions and supine poses in week 2 of the new year.

🔥 Core Poses – Building Inner Support
Core work is deeply connected to Muladhara because it creates physical and energetic stability.
Benefits:
Strengthens the muscles that support the spine and pelvis
Improves balance, posture, and confidence
Builds resilience and inner strength
Root Chakra Connection: As we strengthen the core, we cultivate a sense of inner safety and support. A strong center reminds us that stability doesn’t come from outside circumstances, but from within.

“Feel your strength rising from the centre of your body, anchoring you to the mat.”

🤸 Inversions – Trusting the Foundation
Inversions invite us to explore balance, courage, and trust.
Benefits:
Builds strength and body awareness
Improves circulation and focus
Encourages mental clarity and confidence
Root Chakra Connection: When we invert, we rely fully on our foundation and grounding. Inversions ask us to trust the base we’ve built—physically and energetically—reinforcing the Muladhara qualities of security and steadiness, even when things feel unfamiliar.

“Stay rooted through your base as you lift—grounded, supported, and safe.”

🌙 Supine Poses – Deep Grounding & Integration
Supine poses allow the body to fully release into the earth.
Benefits:
Calms the nervous system
Encourages deep rest and release
Supports integration of the practice
Root Chakra Connection: Lying on the mat reminds us that the earth is always holding us. Supine poses nourish Muladhara by restoring a sense of belonging, safety, and deep grounding, helping the body and mind settle.

“Allow the mat to support you completely—nothing to hold, nothing to prove.”

🌱 Bringing It All Together
Through core strength, trusting inversions, and grounding supine poses, this practice invites students to reconnect with their foundation. We strengthen our roots so we can move, explore, and rest with confidence—on and off the mat.

Wishing everyone an abundant 2026 filled with love and laughter.

Namaste

BOOK REVIEW .........I just finished The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele, and wow—what a gem! These 10 ethical guidelines (known as the Yamas and Niyamas) come from Patanjali's ancient Yoga Sutras and form the foundational first two limbs of the eight-limbed path of yoga. Long before the physical poses (asanas) we often associate with yoga today, these principles guide us toward living more skillfully, harmoniously, and authentically in the world.
The Yamas (five "restraints" focused on how we interact with others and the external world) are:
Ahimsa (nonviolence)
Satya (truthfulness)
Asteya (non-stealing)
Brahmacharya (non-excess or wise use of energy)
Aparigraha (non-possessiveness or non-greed)
The Niyamas (five "observances" turned inward for personal growth) are:
Saucha (purity or cleanliness)
Santosha (contentment)
Tapas (self-discipline or disciplined effort)
Svadhyaya (self-study)
Ishvara Pranidhana (surrender to a higher power)
Deborah Adele brings these timeless concepts to life in such a relatable, down-to-earth way. She dedicates a chapter to each one, weaving in philosophy with everyday stories, personal experiences, and modern examples that make you go, "Ah, that's exactly how this shows up in my life!" It's not preachy or abstract—it's practical wisdom that helps you navigate relationships, challenges, and self-doubt with more grace and clarity.
If you're curious about the deeper side of yoga (beyond the mat), want tools for living with more integrity and peace, or just love books that spark reflection and growth, this is a must-read. It's accessible for beginners yet profound enough to revisit again and again. Highly, highly recommend!

Good evening, everyone! 😍 Don't judge me, but I finally treated myself to my VERY FIRST full-body massage today... and OH. MY. WORD! 🤩 It was pure BLISS!
Cynthia at House of Asante Spa is an absolute LEGEND – hands down 10/10 (or should I say 100/10?!). From the second I walked in, I was spoiled like royalty – total queen treatment! 👑
Those stubborn knots in my shoulders didn't stand a chance; Cynthia worked her magic and banished them like a pro. I floated out of there feeling lighter, looser, and completely rejuvenated!
If you're craving some serious pampering, RUN don't walk to House of Asante for your next massage. You won't regret it – highly, HIGHLY recommend! 💆‍♀️✨

What I’m Reading Right Now
The Yamas and Niyamas: Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele.

At the heart of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras lie the Yamas and Niyamas—gentle yet powerful guides that shape how we live, breathe, and move through the world. They’re often described as yogic ethics, tenets, or invitations to live with more awareness, compassion, and integrity.

As I journey through this book, I’m deepening my understanding of these teachings and embracing the wisdom they offer both on and off the mat. It’s a beautiful reminder that yoga is not just something we do—it’s something we practice in every moment.

Shanti – the Sanskrit word for peace.

In yoga, Shanti is more than the absence of conflict. It’s a deep inner stillness—a gentle balance and calm that we can nurture through mindful movement, breath, and presence.

This December, let’s embrace Shanti both on and off the mat. Together, we’ll explore peace—not as something we chase, but as something we return to. In yogic tradition, peace is both the path and the destination. Through stillness, breath, and awareness, we practice it, and in aligning with our true nature—both individually and collectively—we come to realize it.

Join me at any one of my classes this December. Contact Louise
