Have you seen the latest artwork hanging at the studio? This beautiful painting was recently gifted to us by a long time student Geoff and his family - who have all taken classes with us over the last 14 years. They are relocating to the Bellarine Penninsula and wanted to say thankyou for the impact that Yoga Flame has had on their family. So they gave us this painting, which has been a part of their families home in Essendon for many years, to share with the Yoga Flame community.
Thank you Geoff and family for not just this painting, but for the beautiful sentiment of community, unity and love that this gesture represents 🙏🏻
Hope we stil see you all when you are visiting the area.

Hey Melbourne! How cold is it !?! 🥶

"The Ripple effect: a situation in which one event or action causes a series of other events or actions to happen in a chain reaction."
Have you ever thought about the ripple effect of your time on the mat? How you show up in your life after a class to your friends, your family, the stranger in the shop? How you taking time to breathe, to move, to be mindful and aware impacts those around you and how that then flows out into the community.
We think about it a lot, and it is the reason we keep doing what we do, because it makes the world a better place to be in 🥰

🔥 The Warrior poses in our yoga classes, named after the mythic warrior Virabhadra from Hindu mythology, symbolize strength, focus, and resilience.

Virabhadra was created by Lord Shiva in a fit of rage to avenge the death of his wife, Sati. Each Warrior pose (Virabhadrasana I, II, and III) represents different aspects of Virabhadra's story: his preparation, courage in battle, and focused attack.

These poses encourage us, as yoga students, to embody qualities like strength, determination, balance, and compassion.

Whoa - its a cold one in Melbourne this week! 🥶 Lucky for us we have a nice warm studio to practice in! To help you through this cold snap, we have put together some of our favourite ideas for you to stay healthy and vibrant during the winter season:

💪 Boost Your Immune System:
- Consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to ensure you're getting essential vitamins and minerals. Foods high in vitamin C (like citrus fruits) and zinc (like nuts and seeds) can help strengthen your immune system.
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Herbal teas can be a soothing and hydrating option during the colder months.
- Consider taking supplements such as vitamin D, especially if you have limited exposure to sunlight, and probiotics to support gut health.

🤸‍♀️ Stay Active:
- Engage in regular physical activity to keep your body fit and boost your mood. Indoor activities like yoga, are great options when it's too cold to go outside.
- If weather permits, enjoy winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, or even a brisk walk. Fresh air and sunlight, even in winter, can be very beneficial.

🧘‍♀️Prioritize your Mental Health
- Maintain a regular routine to keep your mind and body in sync. Having a consistent sleep schedule is crucial for overall well-being.
- Practice mindfulness, meditation, or deep-breathing exercises to manage stress and maintain a positive outlook.
- Stay connected with friends and family. Social interactions, even virtual ones, can help alleviate feelings of isolation and improve mental health.

As Autumn approaches, it's important to understand how the changing season can affect our physical and mental well-being. In Ayurveda, the sister science to Yoga, one of the three doshas (energies) that govern our body and mind is Vata dosha, and it is particularly affected during this time of year.

Vata dosha is made up of the elements of air and ether, and it governs movement, creativity, and communication. When Vata is in balance, we feel energetic, imaginative, and adaptable. However, as the weather becomes colder and drier, Vata can become imbalanced, causing us to experience symptoms such as dry skin, constipation, anxiety, and insomnia.

So, how can we keep our Vata in check during Autumn? Here are some tips:

1. Stay warm: As the weather cools down, it's important to keep our bodies warm. Vata dosha is sensitive to cold, so bundle up with cozy layers and warm drinks.

2. Eat warm, nourishing foods: During Autumn, our bodies crave warm and grounding foods. Incorporate nourishing soups, stews, and root vegetables into your diet to help balance Vata.

3. Stay hydrated: As the air becomes drier, it's important to stay hydrated. Sip on warm water throughout the day, and try adding warming spices like ginger and cinnamon to your drinks.

4. Practice self-care: As Vata dosha is associated with anxiety and stress, it is really important we take steps to look after our mental health. Practising yoga and meditation regularly helps to maintain our mental well- being.

As you prepare the week ahead, take a moment to create your personal "Self Care Checklist " 😍

Can you believe these superstars are halfway through their Teacher Training Journey at Yoga Flame? 😍
