🌟Off the Mat🌟
This week in class, we explored the theme Yoga off the Mat—a gentle reminder that our yoga practice doesn’t end when we roll up the mat. It continues in the way we speak, act, and show up for others, Karma Yoga. In yoga philosophy, Karma Yoga teaches us that selfless action is a path to […]
🌟Sankalpa🌟
This week in class, we moved from reflection into action with the theme Your Sankalpa/Intention. After exploring the chakras over the past term, it felt like the right moment to pause, listen inward, and ask: What am I ready to say yes to? What would feel really good to carry with you off the mat […]
🌟 Whole and Radiant🌟
In class this week, we explored the theme Whole and Radiant—a gentle integration of the seven chakras we had followed through the last few weeks. We moved from Muladhara at the base of the spine to Sahasrara at the crown of the head, revisiting each energy centre with breath, movement and awareness. Each chakra had […]
🌟Pratyahara🌟
Pratyahara – the 4th limb of yoga This week we delved into Pratyahara. This is withdrawal of the senses, which means lessening our reactions to all the stimuli we receive – quietening the noise. In a world as busy and informed as it is today it is very beneficial for us to quieten the noise. […]
🌟Freedom🌟
Freedom, or Moksha, is about truly experiencing liberation when we fully embrace the present moment and find joy in whatever we’re doing right now. Yoga guides us in letting go of our need for control and realising that we’re all part of something greater—the universe. By being present, we free ourselves from the confines of […]
🌟Raga🌟
In class we looked at Raga, another Klesha, which is when we are attached or attracted to something or someone. We suffer when this changes. Sometimes we do not realise that we are attached to something until we lose it. It is important to allow yourself to be aware of the attachment before you suffer the loss. When […]
🌟Asmita🌟
In class we looked at identifying with the Ego, another Klesha, and how it can be a cause of suffering. When we identify with how we look and the roles we take (a teacher, a mother, a son etc) we mistakingly take this to be our true selves, but this is false identification. We can […]
🌟Vishuddha🌟
This week our focus was on Vishuddha/Throat Chakra. This chakra is located by our throat, blue in colour and associated with the element space/ether. The qualities of this chakra are honest expression of our true self. This is our centre for communication, through speech and listening. If this space is over active we may not hear others […]
🌟Ajna & Sahasra🌟
Over the last two weeks in class, we have considered Ajna/Third Eye and Sahasra Chakra at the crown. Our yoga is about quietening the mind so that we can connect clearly with this inner perception and knowledge. This stems from our Ajna chakra and to be fully aware of this intuition we need to be […]
🌟Anahata🌟
This week our focus has been Anahata/Heart Chakra and giving love unconditionally. This chakra is located in the middle of our chest and is connected to the air element. During the last few weeks, the chakras we have focused on, have helped us in being grounded with a sense of our purpose and passions. Now, […]
