8 Tips for New Yogis

I may be biased saying this, but the benefits of yoga are endless; not only can it be used to improve the physical aspects of the body, i.e. strength, flexibility and balance, but it can also be a great way to release stress, quieten the mind and develop a more positive outlook on life. Because …

Yoga Teacher Training: What I learned

Last month, I embarked on a YTT course with Yoga Haven; it was something I had wanted to do for a while but, like with lots of things, it never seemed the 'right time'. I had also struggled to find a course that I liked the look of, but as soon as I heard about …

LIFE’S LITTLE PLEASURES ☀️ Chilled mornings spent in a local cafe...drinking coffee, chatting with wonderful people, journalling and catching up on work; I am so grateful moments like this 🙏🏼 Join me for my Evening Vinyasa class, tonight 18:00-19:00 in Wincheap. Happy Monday Yogis 💛
MANDALA WORKSHOP 🌝 @ikigaiholistic Mandalas are believed to represent both our internal and external universe, symbolising the circle of life and how everything within life is connected. Traditionally, Mandalas would have provided a spiritual map for the individual viewer, guiding them through a variety of practices (such as yoga and meditation) away from a life of suffering and towards a life of peace, or ‘enlightenment’. This workshop will begin with a Mandala yoga practice to get the body moving, followed by a discussion about the history and philosophy of Mandalas and a tutorial in how to mindfully draw your own. The intention of this workshop is not only to teach you more about a beautiful ancient tradition, but also to allow your innate creativity to flow and help you discover new ways to incorporate mindfulness into your everyday life, enhancing your overall wellbeing. 2 hours – £28 (All equipment will be provided) TO BOOK GO TO: www.ikigaiholistic.co.uk
ANAHATA (Heart) 💚 “When we attune to the energy of love, and walk through the world seeing everything and everyone as part of the One, we experience unparalleled levels of wellbeing and joy.” ~ @jennielee_author Join me this evening, 19:00-20:00, for a heart opening power yoga flow @ikigaiholistic 💗💗💗 Happy Valentines Yogis! xxx
Come and feel (almost) as zen as I did here... join me for Candlelit Yoga & Relaxation, tonight 19:00-20:00 at Manor Barn Studio 😌 Disclaimer: wine not included
LOOK WITHIN “Self-awareness is about noticing the rhythm of thoughts, feeling when they are clear and when they are out of harmony, knowing when to take them seriously and when not to attach to them. Remember not every thought is valuable, many are just the sounds impulsive emotional reactions make.” ~ Yung Pueblo 🙏🏼 A deeper sense of self awareness is probably the biggest thing I have gained from both doing and teaching yoga and meditation. It’s always a work in progress, it’s incremental...but the effects are priceless✨ Join me for candlelit yoga and relaxation, tonight 19:00-20:00 at Manor Barn, Canterbury 🧘🏻‍♀️ 🧘🏻‍♂️
RISE N SHINE 🌞 The jetlag I have had over the past few days has actually a blessing in disguise. Waking up earlier than usual has meant I have had time before the day has begun to read, journal and practise meditation...all in the beautiful stillness of the early morning. Although I am not planning on continuing to get up at 4:30am everyday, I am definitely taking something from this. I want to ensure I preserve some time in the morning, even just 10-15 minutes, to be away from my phone and create mental space before starting my day. I think this window of time after we first wake up is so sacred, and can have a big impact on how the rest of our day turns out🙏🏼
NEW CLASS: SPIRITUAL HATHA ✨ Starting this Tuesday, 09:15-10:15am @ikigaiholistic 🙏🏼 Inspired by the belief that hatha yoga represents the sun (ha) and moon (tha), this class aims to balance these two energies, creating an equilibrium between the body and mind. The first part of the class focuses more on the physical aspect of yoga (the asana); you’ll be guided through a series of postures, concentrating on alignment, fluidity and finding space within the body. This is followed by exploring the more spiritual and philosophical side of yoga, through practices such as pranayama (breathing techniques), observation, mantra and meditation. Open to all levels; perfect for those wanting to deepen their understanding of yoga philosophy, enhance their meditation practice and develop a greater sense of self-awareness.

BACK TO WHERE IT BEGAN (Ft. 18 year old Sas and a gorgeous little koala) 🇦🇺 Words can’t describe how excited I am to be going back to the country where my career in the health/wellbeing industry first began. It’ll be super surreal I am sure, but I can’t wait to see it all again (as well as all the wonderful people there❤️) and reflect on how much has changed over the four years. Of course, it also breaks my heart to see the devastation caused by the ongoing bushfires. People, animals, homes and lives. In aid of this, I’ll be teaching a Karma yoga class in Melbourne on the 25th January to raise money for the CFA. More details coming soooon so keep yo eyes peeled 👀 (@marcus.xciii) For now, I’ll leave you with this: Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu... “May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.” xxx
“Every day we are born again. It is what we do today that matters most.” ~ Buddha. I’ve been using this idea to inspire my classes over the last week or so... We spend so much time over-analysing the past or trying to control the future that we easily forget to acknowledge the present...we forget that today is the only day that anything can be done. Today, each moment, brings new challenges, new opportunities and new reasons to be grateful. 🌷
