BACK ON THE MAT! The new year is upon us and lack of any routine in the holidays may mean that we have not been on our yoga mat as much as we’d like.  If children are at home, there may be more interruptions than usual!  The warm weather beckons us down to the beach and to drinks and barbeques with friends and so getting on the mat for a practice becomes less available or we just fall into a

The word MEDITATION literally comes from two Latin words … ‘medio’ which means CENTRE and ‘sto’ meaning TO STAND … and so in meditation we learn to STOP and STAND IN THE CENTRE. When we are truly in our centre, we have an opportunity to step away from the busyness and noise and just be still. Like being in ‘the eye of a tornado’, at the very centre there is absolute peace and calmness.

SILLY SEASON INSIGHT! As I was meant to be sleeping the other night, I woke up around 3am and had to write this down – relevant not just for myself but from what I am hearing from students and friends, relevant for everyone. How often do we think in the future?  We wonder how our dress, our clothes, our appearance will be received; how the turkey will turn out, will everyone get along on

Why do we need to breathe? It's an obvious question but perhaps the question should be, “how can we breathe more efficiently?” Quite often without being conscious, we generally breathe into our chests.  This is a shallow form of breathing not allowing nearly enough oxygen to reach all of our cells and regenerate our blood supply.  Shallow breathing can hinder the body's natural defence

CONTAINING ENERGY How do we safely guide our bodies into challenging yoga poses when we’re fatigued or lacking in energy?  My thoughts on this subject are as follows:  We need to use our bodies as a container – to harness the prana, the energy in each pose we undertake.  As a beginner or student with less than five years experience on the mat, it is valuable to recognise the subtleties

POSE OF THE MONTH  SHALABAHSANA (LOCUST) (sha-la-BAHS-anna) I call this pose the ‘quiet achiever’ pose.  It is a gentle backbend with so many benefits:  strengthens the lower back; can help with sciatic pain; invokes fresh energy; keeps the nervous system healthy (there are over 90,000km of nerves which stem from the back!)  Also when we

EARLY SPRING! Last week, Thursday 4th August 2011, was according to the Bureau of Meteorology, the warmest August night in Melbourne since records began. Doonas have been flung off beds, flowers are flowering, windows to houses are wide open and in my house, we had the doors open to let in this unusually balmy winter night. And what you might ask, does this have to do with yoga? I'll try to

'Bathe in all the tides of nature, at all seasons' ~ Thoreau Earlier this week .. I saw BLOSSOM!I almost stopped the car it was so unexpected, and breath-taking .. and that one glimpse has given me a spring in my step the whole week.One of the wonderful things about Melbourne (the city that has 'four seasons in one day') is the beautiful variances and transition that occur, especially around

“Silence is a great help to a seeker of truth like myself. In the attitude of silence, the soul finds the path in clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive, resolves itself into crystal clearness” ~ Gandhi I love this quote and am happily guilty of referring to it before, in another blog & an article I recently wrote. I have it on my pin board beside my desk. Silence is such a valuable and

Over the course of the last week all of our lives have been changed by the immensity of the tragedy unfolding from the monstrous Victorian Bushfires. It is almost impossible to grasp the depth of loss and confusion that is being felt in our beautiful country towns .. the horror of lost lives, homes, family, community, pets, dreams ..What has been inspiring has been the small (and growing light)
