24.01.2022 Since there is no future perfect moment, learn to find focus in distraction, the still centre in the midst of chaos, openheartedness in struggle. I am grateful for my practice beyond, beyond. #utthitaparsvakonasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries #goddesssadhana

22.01.2022 Dont assume you cant do backbends because you dont feel well this morning. Dont assume you cant lift into shoulderstand from the floor because you never could before. Reenactment from this mornings very early practice with the full moon Dont take your limitations as gospel. Find the Joy where you can. Dont take it for granted. #salambasarvangasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries

22.01.2022 We are called to be strong when we think we’re not, or can’t. You are. You can. Final effort. #uthpluthi #tolasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries #goddesssadhana

22.01.2022 Just playing around on a rest day for the fun of it. Discovering that backbends require an awful lot of leg strength, and that I have more range here than I thought I would. Experimenting with a David Swenson cue - to treat it as a front body stretch rather than a back bend, and finding that feels good. #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

21.01.2022 My favourite practices are when I feel sweaty, supple, focussed and strong. Today I felt stiff, sore, distracted, and a bit disheartened by the limitations imposed on me by my little knee injury. It feels a bit boring if Im honest, but it was modifications all the way today. And a little extra unexpected height in utthitahasta padangusthasana. Now you can forget breath and drishti and bhandas - my Sunday morning practice evidences exactly how yoga teaches you to maintain calm in chaos ... #utthitahastapadangusthasana #yogachikitsa #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

20.01.2022 Early morning practice. I committed to my full practice - up to bhujipidasana - but right from the beginning I was thinking to practice in such a way that it wasnt too taxing, that it wasnt too strenuous, that it didnt ask too much of me. To practice like I wasnt practising. At which point it became ridiculous. Like you can move through life without any stress or strain or sweat. That you can somehow get let off the hook so that youre not touched by the world. Anyway, I made it here and then to backbends and closing. I had to turn on the light for this video; it was still dark outside. You can just hear the morning birds at the end. #bhujipidasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries

20.01.2022 Sat (shaht). Sixth vinyasa of Surya Namaskar - in between ladling stock into risotto. The best five breaths of my day. #suryanamaskara #sixthvinyasa #traditionalashtangasanskritcount #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries #goddesssadhana

19.01.2022 When mind marries with body marries with breath there is yoga. #suryanamaskarb #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries

18.01.2022 New Moon. No practice. I love the ritual of traditional yoga practice. I dont need science to prove or disprove to me every single thing. Just my own experience. Happy rest day. #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

18.01.2022 Post-backbend squish from my teacher numero uno. #paschimottanasana #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

17.01.2022 All the time I dedicate to not thinking about my problems makes me a far more effective problem solver. Marichyasana B. Another form of problem solving, which currently requires much fluffing and strange sound effects! Was glad to get the bind on the left. #marichyasanab #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries #goddesssadhana

15.01.2022 A little update on my bhujapidasana journey, which I have redone tonight because my phone conked out during this mornings practice. A little while ago, I set myself a goal to achieve bhujapidasana in 4 weeks. Hahahahahahaha. What was I thinking? Its like saying I will achieve completion of grief within 2 weeks at which point I will move on with my life. Or, I will become enlightened by 6 months time. You can do the work as wholeheartedly as you like. And you should. You mu...st. But you dont control the timing. And you dont control what the outcome looks like. I injured myself immediately after setting that goal and didnt even attempt the sequence for more than 4 weeks. I am only just bringing consistency to half primary series after returning to ashtanga at the beginning of iso. My body is still not conditioned to practising 6 days a week, so I intersperse my practice with a shortened format. Other asanas have raised their hand for my attention during that time and it has been a huge pleasure to follow their lead. (The body is always telling you what its ready for are you listening?) In ashtanga practice you have to strive, but striving wont get you there. You have to meet your striving with acceptance. You have to put down the scorecard. Celebrate the seemingly minute changes, like increased effortlessness where youre at. Like that you even got on the mat, thereby developing an internal rigour that you cant buy, and that you cant earn by skipping steps. So looking at it now, my bhujapidasana doesnt look too much different to when I first added it to my practice, but it FEELS very different, with an increased ease, freedom and belief in myself. #bhujapidasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries See more

15.01.2022 At some point he lost my focus to a single blade of grass. But yes, yoga will dramatically improve your footy prowess Love. Sirsasana, the king of asanas, sending a flood of freshly oxygenated, healthy blood to the brain. #sirsasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries

13.01.2022 The balance for Udhva Padmasana has eluded me until last night. I didnt realise just how much of my focus and attention it wanted. All of it. #urdhvapadmasana #practiceandalliscoming #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

13.01.2022 Since falling out of Sirsasana about a week ago, crashing into a wall and breaking my toe, I have been having a little trouble coming back into it. Too much fear vrittis. Still. No matter where you feel the wound, which toe, whether you can still see the scar, avoiding fear and pain doesnt mean you dont feel fear and pain. It just makes fear and pain your master. #sirsasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries

13.01.2022 If you can find your drishti, your breath, your bhandas in the hubbub of family life, where cant you find them? #seventhseries #yogamudra #ardhapadmasanatillmykneeisbetter #movingmeditation #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

13.01.2022 Dedication, time and patience. All things, including my strained left hamstring, heal. #utthitahastapadangushtasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

12.01.2022 I waited over 10 years for my life to return to normal after having my children so I could return to my normal yoga and meditation practice (2 hours every morning from 5.30am). No surprise, it never did. And honestly, coming to peace with that was an excrutiating 10 year journey of loss and grief. Now I multitask what my Heart needs with what my children need. Its not glamorous. Its just what is. #padmasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries

12.01.2022 Sometimes a little voice in my head says this ashtanga practice is a younger persons game. But the truth is, being strong and flexible only matters more as I age. #virabhadrasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries

12.01.2022 Tonights practice consisted of pausing to tend this ones skun knee, then later to help with her homework, then again to set my little patient up on the sofa with blanket, teddy, books, etc. The ashtanga method consists of 6 increasingly challenging series, and what is affectionately referred to as seventh series - parenthood and family life. When I met my husband and had my children my physical practice completely disappeared. Vanished into thin air. I couldnt figure how to make the practice I once had fit with the new family life I created. It took me 10 years to realise and, importantly, to accept, its all yoga. #seventhseries #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

11.01.2022 Virabha ... no, wait, hang on ... gathering myself for virabhadrasana, followed by virabhadrasana. Progression can be as minute as another half centimetre depth in the knee or lifting the sternum just one more millimetre, but all of a sudden you have arrived in a brand new state of the asana and you are free! #virabhadrasanaa #practiceandalliscoming #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

11.01.2022 Yesterday I took a rare unscheduled day off. Ashtanga is hard when you want easy. It prescribes practice, when you want to run away into old unhealthy habits. It insists you show up on your mat when you want to hide under your covers in bed. It doesnt yell or scream or demand. It roots itself inside your mind and heart, reminding you quietly but clear as lightning of your commitment. Reminding you, you can do this. You are stronger and more capable than you think. #padmasana #sukhasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries

10.01.2022 Look up. Look forward. Dare to dream the big dream, uncompromised by doubt and fear, knowing dreaming doesn’t get you there. Action does. Virabhadrasana. #virabhadrasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries #goddesssadhana

10.01.2022 I bow to the guru within. #marichyasanab #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries

09.01.2022 This is me deciding whether to quit, and choosing to not quit. Which is the strong, resourced, resilient one kicking in to take over the reins from the one who is drained and emotionally overwhelmed. What is forged on the mat you carry into your life. You can count on it. #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

09.01.2022 That which is to give Light must endure burning. Viktor Frankl #virabhadrasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries

08.01.2022 When I keep my commitments to myself, I learn to become trustworthy. I know I can trust myself. #padmasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries #goddesssadhana

08.01.2022 I tell you what, this ashtanga practice makes me feel like a complete beginner, and in many ways I am. It shows me all the places I am underdeveloped, and hands them to me at the same time - strength, resilience, dedication. People mostly say to me, oh I cant do yoga because Im not flexible. It is probably more relevant to the practice to say- oh, I cant do yoga because I fear the unknown and Im not brave. Its handing you what its showing you you lack, in the same breath, at the same time. #yogachikitsa #practiceandalliscoming #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

08.01.2022 TBH, I need the discipline of ashtanga practice. I need someone/thing to tell me - You practice 6 days a week! You do these postures! Dont do those postures! Eat this! Dont eat that! Etc etc. I like how the structure takes the guesswork out of it. I appreciate that theres little room for my unhelpful tendencies to, essentially, slack off forever. For the most part, we are addicted to the idea of and the chase for comfort. So no yoga teacher is going to tell you Yoga is a hard, demanding lifelong practice that you will never master! Friends, yoga is a hard, demanding lifelong practice that you may never master. And you will be utterly transformed by it. And you will become who you are. And you will find what you seek. #utthitaparsvakonasana #yogachikitsa #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

07.01.2022 Like church. But sweatier. Come

07.01.2022 Yoga is an exploration in. Its not what you do, its how you do it. Starting to walk the hands back now, to test that edge. Also, the vitality of your spine is everything. #urdhvadhanurasana #yogachikitsa #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

07.01.2022 The magic is in your willingness to do it with your heart. #utkatasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries

07.01.2022 We spend most of our energy trying to avoid discomfort and yet nothing real can be achieved without turning to face it. Ashtanga conditions you for struggle, by taking you to your very edges and showing you that not only can you bear it, not only can you overcome it, but that you can come to master what once frightened you to death and seemed impossible. #urdhvadhanurasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries

06.01.2022 Sunday morning at 8am Deni Friends ;-)

06.01.2022 Tonight I reflected as I often often do these days, what makes this practice holy? Of course I know in theory - marry the mind to the breath, the body to the breath, bhandas, drishti, ujjayi, look look inside. And I know the possibility because I used to take a bit for granted that unmatched experience of being fully present as the body moves in its slow meditation. But the truth is, I havent been feeling it. Not for a long time. And I have to know, if Im going to share it,... where is the magic? Where did it go? I stood at the top of my mat tonight and asked myself, what makes this practice holy? And I realised, I dont know anymore. So I just began to move. And then my hamstrings opened up in uttanasana so that my belly juuusst touched my thighs for the first time in a very long time. And then my calves opened up in adho mukha svanasana and my heels touched the mat for the first time literally ever. Something I respect deeply - the body tells the truth. It looks how it looks, regardless of how you might like it to. It does what it can do despite you may want it to do much much more. Your belly doesnt touch your thighs until it does. Your heels dont reach the mat until they can. Its just that. The holiest thing I know is honesty. So it feels safe, genuine and real, despite I am not an acrobatic genius and because of it, to let my body speak for me. #satya #adhomukhasvanasana #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries See more

05.01.2022 Surya B: a devotional practice to the Sun god for the blessing of good health. A work in progress for me, but it felt the best it has in years, and in some ways better than ever, which makes me really happy. #suryanamaskarb #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

05.01.2022 Sweating it out on the mat at 5.30am this morning. Summer is coming. #utthitatrikonasana #parivrittatrikonasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries #goddesssadhana

04.01.2022 I am injured AND fit and healthy. I am going backwards AND progressing. I remember my husband saying early-ish on in our relationship, when we were still getting to know each other, and I had had a bit of a meltdown over something or other - I thought you had your shit together? I told him - I do have my shit together, and sometimes I dont. Im weak and Im strong. Im capable and I need help. Im not one thing. Im all the things. It was a super clarifying and self honouring moment for me to own my wholeness without apology. Today I am nursing a sore knee AND making the bind in Mari B on my own for the first time. #marichyasanab #yogachikitsa #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

04.01.2022 If you are angry about the minute events of your daily life, it can be that your focus is too small, too narrow. Step back from your circumstances. Broaden your focus. See how all events, perceived good, perceived bad, are the momentum that propel you onwards towards your destiny. #trikonasana #utthitatrikonasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #yogalife #halfprimaryseries #ashtangamama #seventhseries #goddesssadhana

04.01.2022 Ashtanga connects me directly to strength, resilience, capability, adaptability, health, clarity and intelligence. This modified Parivritta Parsvakonasana or revolved side angle posture is currently one of the most physically challenging parts of my practice. It takes alot of strength. In this asana you can feel the abdomen and its contents being powerfully squeezed so that when you release the posture the vital organs are flooded with fresh, highly oxygenated blood. #parivrittaparsvakonasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

04.01.2022 What is progress in yoga? What is depth in asana? Increased range? Or your realisation that you idealise range? Is it balance/steadiness/rootedness? Or the ability to complete the vinyasa on the breath? Or that the question matters to you but an answer doesnt? #parivrttatrikonasana #yogachikitsa #yogatherapy #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries

04.01.2022 I love the way my body just keeps going with me on this journey. Just keeps proving to me that with consistency and integrity (such as the fine balance between testing my edges and trying to bash through them ) nothing is impossible. After a strong practice yesterday, today was the Surya Namaskars and last 3 closing asanas. So this is Janu Sirsasana C on the side of my recovering knee from yesterday. I feel the practice breaking me down to rebuild me properly. #janusirsasanac #yogachitkitsa #yoga #isoproject #ashtanga #ashtangalife #halfprimaryseries
