SPRING TIME

Posted by & filed under Blog.

SEPTEMBER  HAS ARRIVED, we are excited to see the sun rising earlier and the sun setting later , more time to enjoy the beauty of the sunshine coast.

Take a walk on the beach , a dip in the ocean  or a yoga class by the setting sun. All these things inspire our minds to stay in the moment and be grateful that such delights are at our doorstep.

Here at YOGA AT ALEX , we are able to see the sun set as we move through our asanas or poses, it is very grounding to be part of the closing of the day and witness  the sun going down and the sky becoming an amazing colourful cloak that covers the world.

Peace is felt in the heart and we are reminded balance in our everyday life is essential.

I hope September is your month to feel at ease and grateful for your life. Namaste

 

Time to Breathe and Time to feel

Posted by & filed under Blog.

When we take the time to breathe properly and feel that breathe coming in and out of the body we are doing yoga.

We are allowing all the fluids within the body such as the cerebrospinal fluid, blood, digestive juices, ect ect to flow with the breath.

We are recalabrating our energy lines, thats why we will feel calm, clear headed and emotionally stable.

We can see and feel with the body and mind what the actual situation is that we are dealing with right at this moment.

This stops the mind and brain leading us a merry dance with what might happen in the future and what happened in the passed last time or what happened to someone else ect ect.

We learn to look inside the body and mind and see who we are based on what we are feeling at this moment without the distractions of the past and present.

Little bit by little bit we build the bridge to self realisation and start to understand what is best for us and how and what we need to stay happy and balance mentally emotionally and physically.

 

Autumn but almost Winter!

Posted by & filed under Blog.

While travelling in my car, I heard a funny comment on the radio….. this is how it went. In winter bears hibernate, eating and sleeping with no activity. This is so they can put a layer of fat on to keep warm and sleep for the entire Winter.

Then the radio announcer went on to say but humans are not suppose to hibernate during Winter, eating ,lying on the couch, watching reruns of movies in our Pyjamas.

To me this does sound cosy especially when we have had our first snap of chilly weather, but honestly the best sunrises and sunsets are now so make sure your not couch bound and get out there and live.

Your body will thank you for moving and stay in shape to face the unveiling when Summer comes around.

So don’t be a bear and start resembling the shape of a pear!

Keep on moving and a grooving so your mind stays happy and your tum stays trim.

The hardest part is the start of anything so focus on starting a routine and stick to it.
