How to reboot my brain and body in 15 mins
Often we say, my brain is too busy and my body is too tired. So what to do???
We want to connect the brain and body so they are running at the same rate, this can be done in as little as 15minutes, so whats your excuse.
Here are 3 ways to do just that.
1. Go outside, straight away your senses will be alerted, nature will make you feel grounded , walk around the block,
focusing on breathing from the belly through your nose for 15 minutes
OR
2. Listen to music with your eyes half closed, breathing from the belly through your nose,as you walk around the room slowly at an even pace.
OR
3. Stand up near a window if possible , stretch your arms up in the air while breathing in through your nose ,then as you exhale through your nose, sweep the arms behind your back and link the hands, opening the chest and feeling the space in your heart.
Repeat this up to 5 times .
Do any of these daily for a week and let me know if it helps…..
Why would it work because we are made of organic matter and absorb everything around us, we need time to file away information, to have a clear thinking brain and we need to use our bodies in some way to release tension, toxins ect to help the blood flow and even out the rubbish from the good stuff.
MTHYS
You will forget where you are up to and will take too long to get back into the mood to work.
TRUTH
The brain will be fresh and the body relaxed ,so ideas will flow at a much faster rate,
happiness is activated and negativity will be lifted, you will feel in control of your mind and body.
Being busy and not taking regular breaks, may make you feel like you are accomplishing so much, but really you are going over old ground a lot of the time, making mistakes and overlooking the obvious .
This teaches the brain to stay activated or wired , so the body releases the hormone cortisol because it feels threatened or stressed, the body and mind need to take a break, so allow yourself time to reboot and start this practice today.
You will sleep better, preform better , and be much happier.
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

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.
