Think of a problem in your life, and invite yourself to smile….to not fight it… and as you do, remembering you have control of YOUR situation (how you choose to respond), you are you, not your problem… and inviting in some peace.

What is the quality my heart longs for and desires most. Take time to be still, and to listen.

In synchronising movement and breath, and focusing on this, we anchor ourselves in the present moment. 

In our Flourish yoga classes we focus on what our bodies can do for us, not the limitations we may have.

Tuning in to how the gunas are operating in your life – the rajasic energy of some activities, the tamasic grounded, unwinding of other activities, and the sattvic calm that comes, appears at certain times… and begin to tune in to what feeds each of these?

Wishing you a week ahead aware of when your senses tend to control your actions; and the ability to withdraw from this sensory pull to consciously decide the most appropriate action.

Wishing you a week ahead filled with lots of conscious, deliberate breathing.

Traditionally asana was only 1 aspect of yoga – and in the yoga sutras asana is simply referred to as ‘steady, easy seat’  which was used by yogis to sit, in padmasana, lotus pose, or a variation, for long periods of meditation.

Classical yoga’s guidelines on living better with others, and ourselves.

How I practice and what yoga means to me. The 8 limbs of yoga (Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras).

Reflecting, is there something in my life I'm trying to control? Am I too invested in a particular outcome….. and can I let it go?

Resolving this week, to live with intent. To listen to your heart; to where you need to focus your energy, to live your truth.

Svadhyaya encourages us to get to know ourselves, what’s taking place within… being interested and curious

When do I need to remind myself the greater gains are more beneficial than the obstacles and distractions, and the instant gratification?

Wishing you a week ahead filled with gratitude and acceptance, for the journey you’re on.
