We are exploring the concept of Tapas this week which is often translated as โ€˜disciplineโ€™ and comes from the Sanskrit root โ€˜to burnโ€™.
Itโ€™s not about pushing harder, but about showing up. This could be giving yourself that extra push to get your practice or training in, taking a breath before reacting, or making the choice that is best for you long term not short term. Sometimes it is knowing when not to push ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป Photo is my friends and I on an early morning run today, which as we head into the darker seasons will require a lot more tapas! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ
Ultimately itโ€™s about being intentional with our effort and energy ๐Ÿ’œ
A fiery and strengthening practice will be offered in this is weeks class, but as always you will be encouraged to meet yourself where you are at and take a more restful approach if that is what you need ๐Ÿ’œ Drop me a message if youโ€™d like to join ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ

A regular yoga practice can help improve strength, flexibility, balance and mobility, while also giving us time to slow down, focus on the breath and shift out of the constant โ€˜doingโ€™ mode that so many of us spend our days in.

For me, thatโ€™s one of the biggest benefits.

Itโ€™s not just what happens to your body during the practice, but how you feel afterwards.

Calmer. Clearer. More grounded.

This September our theme is โ€˜Rooted & Resilientโ€™ โ€” looking at how we can build strength and resilience while also recognising when we need to rest and recover.

And after a lovely August break, Iโ€™m very happy to be back on the mat.

Classes start again tomorrow! ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ

๐ŸŒฟ Tuesday Tip โ€“ Less is More

Iโ€™ve always struggled with a natural tendency towards more is more.

More exercise. More productivity. More getting things done.

A big part of my practice at the moment is becoming aware of this tendency and regularly reminding myself that less really can be more.

This even spills over into my work life.

I used to work through my lunch break, thinking Iโ€™d get more done if I just kept going.

But actually, Iโ€™d end up feeling burnt out, and I wasnโ€™t as efficient or effective as I could have been.

So now I make myself step away from my desk.

I get outside, go for a walk, breathe some fresh air and give my brain a proper break.

And I come back feeling clearer, calmer and usually much more productive.

Sometimes doing less isnโ€™t lazy.

Sometimes itโ€™s exactly what we need to be able to do more of what matters.

How can you DO less today? ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

๐Ÿ’œ More of what works. Less of what doesnโ€™t.

Something Iโ€™m definitely still practising!

This week as part of the Power of Presence theme, we will be exploring how we can carry our practice off the mat and into everyday life.
๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Into our conversations.
๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Our work.
๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Our walks.
๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Our relationships.
๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Our moments of rest.

Because the real practice isnโ€™t just the poses.

Itโ€™s how we choose to show up each day ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

A few rounds of sun salutations in my lunch break today ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Itโ€™s easy to skip practicing when life is busy, but it doesnโ€™t have to be an hour long practice to be effective ๐Ÿ’œ
Sun salutations have been my go to reset for years. They get me out of my head, into my body, make me breathe more consciously and stretch out any tension I am feeling. Done in the correct way, they are a meditation ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Effort in the movement, ease in the rhythm ๐Ÿ’œ We will explore the balance between effort and ease in tonightโ€™s session and we always do at least 6 rounds of this beautiful practice which stretches and strengthens the whole body ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ

๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ This weekโ€™s theme is finding the balance between effort and ease ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Which comes easier to you? Doing, pushing and achieving? Or resting and allowing?

Both are equally important at different times and simultaneously, but even when doing, we should never be forcing ๐Ÿ˜‡

๐€๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ your breath to deepen
๐€๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ your jaw to soften
๐€๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ your shoulders to relax

Like a river, life flows more freely when we stop trying to push against the current. The river doesnโ€™t force its way around every bend โ€” it adapts, finds its path and keeps moving.

Perhaps we can do the same ๐Ÿ’œ

Balance isnโ€™t about doing less or more, itโ€™s about knowing exactly what you need in this moment - and doing it ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Building a steady and consistent yoga practice is the best tool I have found for cultivating presence. Yoga is the practice of learning to work with the mind, rather than being carried along by its habitual thoughts and patterns (we call them samskaras in yoga).

Through steady, consistent and dedicated practice, we begin to notice those habits with greater awareness. From that awareness comes choice โ€” the chance to respond differently, with more kindness, clarity and ease.

In my class and posts this coming week, weโ€™ll be exploring the balance between effort and ease through Patanjaliโ€™s teaching of Sthira Sukham Asanamโ€”that a posture should be both steady and comfortable.

I invite you to explore this concept both on and off the mat.

On the mat, there should be no struggle, sweating or grasping, but instead we should be able to hold a pose steady and comfortably with even breathing, even if the posture is challenging.

Off the mat, balancing both action and rest, striving and surrender, reaching for more while being deeply grateful for all that you already have ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

As we head into a new week, ask yourself:
