MAKING PEACE WITH WARRIOR III After years of getting frustrated by how difficult I found Virabhadrasana III/Warrior III I have finally made peace with it. That’s not to say I have found perfection in the pose, but by breaking down its components I understand better why it is a tricky pose. The ma

JOINING THE DOTS Whether you come to your mat once a week, everyday, or somewhere in between – we all recognise the benefits the practice of yoga brings to our lives. It might be something subtle that is hard to explain or a life changing experience. When we put time aside to practice and invest

BRINGING IT OFF THE MAT Often in our practice we look at standing asana which require balance as a challenge to be conquered.

Being present on your mat during your practice and moving mindfully will help you link to how you are moving, how you are breathing, and how the pra

Hi friends! Happy Friday! YAY THE WEEKEND IS HERE. What are you up to? Anything exciting going on? We don’t have much on the agenda, but it’s going to be a scorcher. I have a feeling we’ll be spending some time at the pool. 🙂 I’m also excited to hang out with my little family…

YOUR POSE IS THE PERFECT POSE What would a yoga class look like if we were to actually listen to what was right for our own unique bodies – rather than what we were told to do, or striving for what the person on the mat beside us was doing. The discipline of yoga, as with all movement, if not pract
