Leah Nylander Yoga Leah Nylander Yoga, Yoga with YOU in Mind! Bringing like minded people together! The magic of Yoga lies in its ability to offer safety and solace to students.

Coast Yoga Collective was born from the pillars of West Coast Yoga, in the coast side suburb of Sorrento Perth Western Australia. After stepping away from the studio for a short while, we realised the needs of the local community with regards to having a sanctuary in which to practice the wisdom tradition that is Yoga. Energy is everything and having a studio allows all that come to the space to feel held and supported by the positive energy that is embedded in the studio walls. At Coast Yoga Collective we invite all students no matter age, ability, size, or walk of life to join us in the goodness of Yoga. Coast Yoga Collective offers a very experienced and caring team of teachers, who will lead every student deep into their practice, in a supportive and nurturing way. Each student requires something different from their Yoga practice and at Coast Yoga Collective you will be able to find the style of class and teacher that resonates with you best.

MOVE WELL | AGE WELL | LIVE WELL

Balance. Focus. Strength. Mobility.

Four things that become increasingly important as we move through life, and four things we can keep working on, at any age.

I’ve put together this simple little sequence using Stork, Eagle, Chair, twists and Lunges, linking them together with easy-to-follow transitions and voice cues.

Nothing fancy, no complicated choreography, just purposeful movement that asks your body to balance, stabilise, strengthen and move.

It’s around 4 minutes, so save it and come back to it whenever you have a few minutes to move. You might even like to book end it with some movement of your own.

And remember… it’s not about doing it perfectly (I added a wobble for effect!!). It’s about keeping your body capable of doing the things you want it to do.

Give it a go and see how you feel.

Keep showing up for yourself, when sometimes others don’t.

As a yoga teacher, you’re essentially a performer on a stage. Everyone in front of you is watching, listening, following and yes… critiquing.

Some more harshly than others! And yes sometimes your class might fall short of students needs.

If you’re naturally a little insecure (ME!!!), this can be a BIG challenge.

And it gets even harder when your regulars start disappearing.

You know the ones… your beautiful core group who turn up week after week.

Then suddenly… they’re not there.

And this is where the insecurity, anxiety, ego and, if I’m honest, a little hurt can creep in.

Have I changed something?
Am I not teaching well enough?
Do I need to change things?

But here’s the thing…

People are cyclical - Life gets busy, work changes, families need attention, schedules and needs change.

They might find another class that suits their timetable better, go somewhere with a friend… perhaps you, or yoga, simply isn’t what they need right now.

I often hear from students I haven’t seen for a while: “I really need to get back to yoga.”

Sometimes they do.

Sometimes they don’t.

And that’s part of the journey too.

So a big lesson of being a yoga teacher is learning to develop a thick skin without losing your soft heart.

Our job is to keep showing up.
Keep learning.
Keep teaching.

And remember that not everyone is meant to stay forever.

But then, every now and again, someone walks back into your class who you haven’t seen for a long time…and you realise they never really left.

Maybe they just needed to take a different path for a while.

And THAT is pretty special.

Want to know how your hips, balance and coordination are travelling?

Try this little sit-to-stand challenge.

There are lots of ways we can practise this movement, but this is a nice, simple version to try at home and at your own pace.

It’s working more than just your legs. Think hip mobility, balance, coordination and getting the whole body and brain switched on.

If your knees are sore or you have arthritis, be kind to them. Try placing a blanket underneath your knees for a little extra cushioning and see how that feels.

Don't rush or force anything, keep practicing at your own pace. Just moving, noticing and giving your body a chance to do its thing.

Once the body and the mind understand what's required of them, things should start to come together. So give it a few goes before you put it in the too hard basket!

A little movement that can go a long way as we age.

Give it a go, let me know how you get on. And most of all have fun with it.

Listen to your body, but don't let fear of discomfort make every decision for you...

I was with my chiropractor Jack Messer from North Beach Chiropractic who, as well as being a very good chiropractor, is also rather philosophical. We got talking about getting older and how easily we put up walls then slip into protection mode.

“My shoulder doesn’t like that.”
“My knee will hurt when I do that.”
“I probably shouldn’t push it.”

If we spend our whole lives avoiding anything that might feel uncomfortable, we can gradually become less capable of doing the things we actually want to do. And Jack said something that really stuck with me....Choose your hard!

Because there’s the hard of doing the work now, strengthening, moving, challenging yourself, finding your edge and occasionally getting uncomfortable.

Or there’s the hard of losing strength, mobility and confidence because we stopped asking our bodies to do the things. Neither path is necessarily easy, so choose your hard.

And of course, there are times when our bodies are very clearly telling us to pull back. Pain is information, and discomfort deserves to be acknowledged, not ignored or pushed through. It’s about learning the difference between something that genuinely doesn’t feel right and something that simply feels challenging or unfamiliar. Because sometimes, the thing we need isn’t more protection, it’s a little more confidence to explore what our body can still do.

I think that can be one thing we learn as we get older, realising that ageing well isn’t about never feeling discomfort. It’s about knowing when to listen, when to back off and when to say,

“Okay, this feels challenging… but I’m curious to see what I can do.”

Thanks for the nugget, Jack

I’m stealing this one. 😉
