Unwind Body and Mind

Several yogis have recently commented on my yoga clothing. I can’t wear synthetic fabrics anymore so purchase bamboo clothing from this lovely Lady. Sharing in case you want to visit Steph, you can find her at these markets this weekend ☺️🙏💜

Full weekend of markets again this weekend -
Saturday until 1pm and
Sunday until 1pm. Just got a restock of silk favourites! 😘

This week in our meditation circle, we will continue with the theme of balance as it relates to the mind.

🧠 Our left brain hemisphere governs practical, analytical, logical thinking
🧠 Our right brain hemisphere governs imagination, emotion, creativity
🧠 Both are important
🧠 In our culture left brain thinking is often prioritised

Physically the hemispheres are separated. They communicate through a part of the brain known as the Corpus Callosum. Research has shown that in meditators the Corpus Callosum was "remarkably stronger, thicker, and more well connected".

Balance in the brain is a natural, positive side effect of regular meditation practice. This harmonising of the left and right brain gives many benefits e.g. better memory, clarity, creativity, and focus.

In our meditation circle this evening, I look forward to sharing some breathing and meditation practices specifically aimed at helping balance left and right brain 😊

Hi Yogis! 😊

When I put the call out last week as to what you would like to practice more of, balance emerged as a clear theme. In yoga we practice balancing postures which becomes a metaphor for finding balance in life. It is helpful to cultivate balance both on and off the mat:

☯ Dark & light
☯ Masculine and feminine
☯ Giving and receiving
☯ Doing and being
☯ Physical activity and rest ...

This time of the year is a perfect opportunity to feel into balance more, and reconnect with our mean point. The stillness we touch in our yoga practice allows for awareness to arise, and course corrections may become apparent if needed.

Join me for our third final week together before the end of year break. An invitation to move towards balance within and without!

What simple practices gift you with calm presence?

Yesterday at breakfast, I decided to try something new. Each time I took a bite of food I closed down my eyes. I noticed two things: 1 ~ my mind slowed right down and allowed me to be in the present moment, and 2 ~ I could taste my food a whole lot better! Breakfast was so much more enjoyable, this is a simple practice that is here to stay 😊

Self care doesn’t have to take a lot of time or resources, I’d love to hear what practices you use to support you in moving through your day? 💜🙏

Thanks everyone for another beautiful week of practice, I hope you enjoyed our focus on vrksasana tree pose 😊🌳

Is there a yoga pose that you have always wanted to explore more in your personal yoga journey? What the benefits are, alignment tips, or how to find comfort and ease in the pose? Or one we just haven't shared in a while and you are keen to revisit ....

Drop me a comment and I'll consider it for a class focus in the next couple of weeks 🙏💜

Who inspires you or has inspired you on your life journey?

There are so many teachers out there! Some are famous, self-realised beings, and others are ordinary people who have found their way through challenges and share what they've learned along the way. I've found Louise Hay's wisdom to be incredibly helpful. As an "ordinary" person who survived and thrived through many challenges and traumas, her teachings are very practical and relatable.

This week in our meditation circle, I'll share a short excerpt from a talk Louise Hay gave on the subconscious mind ... her explanation is incredibly helpful in understanding how the mind works and how to work positively with it.

Then we'll meditate 😊🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

Hi Yogis! 👋

Recently a yogi commented to me that they had a goal to master Tree pose. It's something that looks simple but there's a lot going on! Strength, flexibility, focus & balance. It's a very worthy goal and I'd like to honour that with a practice this week based on learning the finer nuances of Vrksasana, Tree pose.

By spending an entire class on one we can learn a little more about the benefits of the posture, preparatory poses, alignment tips, and adjustments for different bodies. ️

Some more about Vrksasana:
🌴 excellent for practicing balance which strengthens the standing foot and leg
🌴 helps keep you present in your body, which calms the mind
🌴 aids flexibility in the hip joint and encourages length in the spine
🌴 has several variations if you're needing to work gently or keen for stronger asana practice.

Those with foot/leg/hip injury or pain may need extra support. If this is you, let me know so I can provide adjustments.

I look forward to sharing some self care time with you this week 😊

So this happened yesterday 🪈 🎶😊🎵

Some time ago I had the most beautiful experience in a yoga class, the yogi instructor played a wood flute for savasana, and it was sublime! Soon I hope to offer this experience to you 💝

Thank you Rustic Elements - Tania Clark for my beautiful Earth Tone 432hz flute and a most beautiful day welcoming me into your space and teaching me how to play. It has the most beautiful sound and healing frequency 🙏🪷
