SPRING TIME
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
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.
Get in the swing!
This time of year is all about caring for yourself, so lets make us some good clean energy!
Healthy food and moving our bodies will create clean ,healthy energy, this is going to make us feel good.
When we feel good ,we are happy, we are emotionally stable, we are content .
So veggies, salads,get those antioxidents in for glowing skin, shiny hair, proteins to grow new cells of every kind .
A happy body will give you the energy you desire that positive vibe of goodness oozing from your smile!
Of course Im going to say part of feeling good is moving.
Feeling your body moving in a flowing motion accompanied by your amazing breathe, is the final key in unlocking your world of knowlegde about what you need to function at your most vibrational level.
The path or journey of self realisation is really about loving everything you are, so by following only two rules most of the time
1. Eat healthy and 2. practice yoga. will bring you there.
The moment
In the blink of an eye the moment is gone. The many moments in one person’s life could create a very long story.
How do we stop the mind from jumping ahead instead of stopping in the moment??
There are a few things which can help train the mind to let go and allow you to immerse yourself in the moment.
Her are just two ideas you can use:
Focus on you’re breathing, you can count 2 on your inhale breath and 4 on your exhale breath, every time the mind wanders bring yourself back to the rhythm of the breathing.
Another idea to help let go of your thoughts and immerse yourself in the moment is by staring into a beautiful sunset or sunrise ,it can be mesmerising and it feels like it is seeping into your soul.
Both of these suggestions will bring a calmness to the central nervous system ,this will turn your thought patterns down making it easier to stop and absorb your environment and really feel your body on the earth and the amazing life/energy within your body.
