How great is this weather? I am always so happy when the weather starts to get warmer. Although spring, being the trickster that she is, can give us all sorts of weather. I hope you’ve been able to find some sun.

Finally! This book has arrived.
In 2019 Leigh Blashki and I began writing our contribution to two chapters to this comprehensive textbook for the field of yoga therapy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was honored to be invited as a contributor amongst some of the world’s leading yoga therapists. Many of who have been inspiring teachers for me over the years.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am truly honoured. 🙏❤️

It is my third book writing experience, my first being in the mid 90s.

Thanks
and

Nikki is offering this beautiful workshop on Saturday.

Being as I am **NEW DATE** — Being as I am Being a Sensational Being introduces the skills and strategies of Sensory Modulation – using sensory input to change how you feel. This workshop will run for 3 hours with regular breaks - venue is adjacent to Lake Weeroona in Bendigo

Thanks for the reminder.

We can calm or energise ourselves by changing our breathing patterns.

Even by just taking time out to consciously to become more aware of our breath we can help to start to alter our emotional states.

Take 5 Deep Breaths whenever you can, focussing on whatever you find easiest:
- the movement of the body with the breath
- the sound of the breath
- the flow of air at the nostrils
- or maybe say to yourself on each breath "this is the breath in, this is the breath out.
Whatever works 🌟

Happy Friday 🙏

I love this.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Go out and fall in love with nature. Discover something new...'⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every time I step out there is something new, a bud or bloom, a smell or sound. It has helped me break out of the gloom of poor weather and lockdown and feel that there is more to me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What have you discovered in nature that has bought you delight? My funny chickens and the newly blooming wattle are just a couple of the joys of nature for me.

❣️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Yoga is more than stretching. Stretching is only the beginning of opening, and opening is just the beginning of letting go. And letting go is the heart of yoga practice. Remember the joy of letting go as many times as you can each day.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--Judith Hanson Lasater⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What can you let go of right now?

☀️
Such a lovely morning after all the gloomy wet.
Gorgeous wattle, the smell as I walked through the bush this morning was so soothing to my soul.

🙏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for these beautiful words. I love the online classes as well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Online classes with me are back starting Monday. Here's the timetable and you can book via our new, simple booking system on the website: http://www.yogahara.com.au/classes

The general therapeutic classes on Mondays and Thursdays are the same as I have been offering all this year. The classes aim to nourish your entire body and mind, to help you feel centred, focused and balanced. Various levels of postures are offered to cater for a variety of student abilities.

In the integrated class this term we will be talking about the 5 things that cause us suffering, the Kleshas or afflictions, according to the Yoga Sutras. Diving into yoga philosophy is a great way to begin to deepen your practice. The yoga sutras tell us that the remedy for the afflictions are the 8 limbs of yoga, two of which are asana and pranayama. Join me to discover what your yoga practice is freeing you from. We will be exploring the 5 Kleshas, through asana, pranayama and meditation.

I'd love to see you online.

"Sometimes you need to move slowly so you can later move more powerfully. The modern world is so fast paced that there is pressure to keep up. Setting aside what everyone else is doing and moving at your natural speed will help you make better decisions and lift up your inner peace."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I am not surprised by these results.
I find it incredibly frustrating and I refuse to follow pages that don’t show a diverse range of people and poses.

Yoga is not a work-out, it is a work-in and a work-in can’t be photographed.
