🌟Manipura🌟
This week our focus was Manipura Chakra, located by our navel. It is connected to our sense of purpose, our self-esteem and drive to follow our passions. The element associated with this energy centre is fire and we may be familiar with the phrase “Fire in one’s belly” – our determination. To help connect with […]
🌟Muladhara🌟
This week we looked at Muladhara Chakra. We considered: What is it? Where it is located? What colour could it be? How might we feel when it is balanced. Mulachara chakra is an energy centre at the base of our spine. The colour associated with it is deep red and the element is Earth. When we […]
🌟Svadhisthana🌟
This week we looked at Svadhisthanta chakra located in our pelvis and connected to the water element. Our reproductive organs lie in this space and it is no surprise that this chakra is connected to our creativity. In class we explored fluidity in our bodies and gave way to be playful and experience pleasure in […]
🌟Fire🌟
The element of fire is linked to our Manipura chakra space located at our navel. This aligns well with the saying “Fire in one’s belly”. When we are balanced in this element we have the ambition and determination to achieve our dreams. We are able to digest the world around us to reach a deeper understanding. […]
🌟Water🌟
In class we considered the element Water or jala. The human body is made up of more than 70% water, the planet we live on is more than 70% water. It is therefore no surprise that we have this connection with water. When we feel balanced in this element, we can feel connected to others, […]

🌟Space🌟
In class we have been considering Space or Ether element. What it is, where it is and how we can connect with it. We know that in all matter an atom is 99.9999% space. So it makes sense that we should connect with it, understands it, know that it exists. When we are balanced in […]
🌟Earth🌟
This term we are looking at the five elements and in class we focussed on the Earth/Prithvi Element. When we have a balanced earth element within ourselves we can feel that we are stable, have stamina and are resilient to whatever life may bring. To enable these feelings we need to spend time nurturing ourselves […]
🌟Breathing🌟
In class we looked at the way our body moves when we breathe. The movement of our abdominal area, ribcage and collar bones. By bringing awareness to all these areas we can develop the Full Yogic Breath. The Full Yogic breath combines breath in all three sections. Breathing-in in one slow continuous flow and breathing-out […]

Life is full of moments of joy. Our senses are treated to beautiful sounds, amazing sights, pleasant smells and delicious tastes. And with all these sense experiences our enjoyment increases. It is important to be present in these moments of joy and also be aware that these moments will pass – and when they do […]
