Yoga For Stress

Yoga For Stress Yoga for Stress My name is Kyle Lee-Young. I began suffering stress and anxiety in 1999, though I did not know it at the time.

I was feeling out of my depth in a new job, driving long distances in heavy traffic to work, and partying on weekends. Needless to say, I wasnโ€™t looking after myself. Stress turns into a panic attack

I had one of the scariest experiences of my life when I had a panic attack one night. For several months after, I suffered insomnia, anxiety, racing thoughts and constant worry and found it difficult to socialise. It wasnโ€™t a life I was prepared to keep living. Yoga for stress

At my friendโ€™s behest, I tried yoga. Initially it was difficult, but I always felt relaxed, calm and happy by the end of class. I found yoga helped me sleep deeply and to cope with work at my new job. I fell in love with how yoga made me feel. I wanted to share it โ€“ so I decided to become a teacher. Yoga in modern life

My life is still busy. I still work full-time in an office, but yoga helps me prevent and minimise stress, anxiety and burnout. Sometimes things become difficult, despite my best prevention. Then yoga is invaluable for restoring equilibrium faster. Whether you can reach your toes or not is irrelevant. Yoga provides countless practical tools and techniques that you can use in your modern life to bring harmony and balance, while still enjoying life to the fullest.

To kick off the Meditation lounge this Wednesday 7:30pm, under the waning power of Tuesdays full moon, we'll be exploring...

Transformational attitudes of mindfulness practice

"To cultivate the healing power of mindfulness requires much more that mechanically following a recipe or set of instructions. No real process of learning is like that. It is only when the mind is open and receptive that learning and seeing and change can occur...The attitude with which you undertake the practice of paying attention and being present is critical".
Jon Kabat Zinn - The Full Catastrophe

These attitudes are great to bring into your awareness, followed by intentional practice.

One per week over 8 weeks, coupled with a meditation from the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program.

Even if you can't join at the time, the session will be recorded in the group so you can listen back at any time.

๐ŸŒŸ ACCEPTANCE - THIS WEEK!
Bringing openness to, kindness towards and welcoming of experience just as it is in the moment.

๐ŸŒŸ NON-JUDGING
Assuming the stance of impartial witness/observer to your experience.

๐ŸŒŸ PATIENCE
Recognition that things can only emerge in their own time.

๐ŸŒŸ BEGINNERS MIND
A mind that is willing to see everything as it is for the first time with fresh curiosity and vitality.

๐ŸŒŸ TRUST
A faith in the validity of our own experience and an allowing of the process of bringing awareness to experience to unfold in it's own way.

๐ŸŒŸ NON-STRIVING
An attitude of willingness to allow the present to be in a way it is without trying to fix things.

๐ŸŒŸLETTING BE / LETTING GO
Seeing the possibility of moving out of the perpetual human tendency to want to hold on to pleasant and get rid of the unpleasant.

๐ŸŒŸ KINDNESS AND COMPASSION
Undermining reactivity and blame and practicing kindness and compassion towards all beings.

Get comfortable in your lounge wear, light a candle, relax and open your mind! All parts of you are welcome.

We'll go live at 7:25pm so you can say hello and get set up.

Going barefoot in nature immediately helps clear your energy. Stepping out onto the sand, putting your feet in the ocean, hugging a tree, all of these clear your energy. Nature is an incredible neutralizer of energy โ€“ Anita Moorji

Getting our feet and bodies directly on the earth is good for us. It also recharges our batteries naturally.

Come along this Saturday - clear and recharge your energy this Saturday. Hug a tree if you want! I'm sure the tree will love it too! ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿค—

We'll be doing our practice inside and out!
