Yoga is to be lived…
May 29, 2013
True yoga is not about the shape of your body,
but the shape of your life.
Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived.
Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been;
yoga cares about the person you are becoming.
Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose,
and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.

Asanas for Svadisthana Chakra
May 7, 2013
The 7 Chakras are the spiritual energy centres within the body.
Svadisthana is the sacral chakra, related to the colour orange
and located at the tailbone.
It represents our ability to accept others
and to be open to new experiences.
When this chakra is balanced
we have a good capacity for creativity and partnerships with others.
When we are imbalanced in this chakra
we might experience a loss of creativity
and a feeling of dullness.
Here are some great asanas to balance the Svadisthana chakra
and develop the ability to flow with emotions freely.

Asanas for Muladhara Chakra
April 9, 2013
The 7 Chakras are the spiritual energy centres within the body.
Muladhara is the root chakra, related to the colour red
and located at the base of the spine.
It represents our foundation and feeling of being grounded.
When we are balanced in this chakra
we will feel confident, strong and steady.
When we are experiencing imbalance
we will feel fearful, and insecure, living more in the head than in the body.
We can become ungrounded in our root chakra
when we are in periods of movement,
when we are experiencing changes in our lives.
Here are some great asanas to awaken the Muladhara chakra
and create a stronger sense of grounding in the body and mind.
