Today I’m going to write a little bit about one of the kleshas, asmitā, often translated as “egotism.” But I think I’ll first set it up with an anecdote. When I started teaching at the Y way back when, I had a couple who came to class ready to rumble. They tied their bandanas tight, slid th...

This book has been inspiring my recent yoga reading. I come back to it over and over. In it Desikachar writes…

“A very interesting thing is said about the effects of asana. It is said that if we really know how to use asanas we will be able to handle opposites. It does not mean that we can go bare chested in cold weather or wear woolen clothing in the heat.
However,because we know how the body behaves, we become sensitive, we know how to adapt.
A test for asana practice is our ability to adjust easily to extreme cold or heat. More practically, if we need to stand for a few minutes we should be able to stand; if we need to sit for a few minute we should be able to sit. That is one advantage of doing asanas. It helps us to get used to different things.
When we practice pranayama we need to be able to sit comfortably for some time.
Asanas help us to forget the body so we can pay more attention to breath in pranayama. “

I love the emphasis on how we can use asana as a tool to benefit everyday activity. (And also our pranayama practice)!
After all, what is yoga practice if we cannot bring its effects into our daily life?
This is why one meanings of the word yoga is ‘union’. The practice helps us to integrate. 🙏🏼

A simple message but so important.Thank you Kirstine Weber for reminding us.

🧘 The pause in yoga is what leads to neuroplastic changes in the brain.

This is why yoga isn’t just about the poses -> it’s about the proven change it can make in your mind and life.

Neuroscience has proven that yoga is just as good for your brain as it is for the rest of your body.

For those who are interested in trying some yoga at home.

Did you know that as well as being Solstice, the 21st June is International Day of Yoga!
Yoga is definitely one of my favourite forms of movement - for body, mind and spirit!
There is a great page of information about the benefits of yoga on my website, and even better there is a FREE beginners yoga course that you have access to that allows you to learn all about your chakras at the same time!
