20.01.2022 "True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesnt care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied." Aadil Palkhivala https://www.evolationyoga.com//2/gosford-australia-hot-250

19.01.2022 One of our most popular and most useful articles... MAKE THE HAMSTRINGS STRONG, NOT LONG In the yoga world, forward folding is practically an obsession. We stan...d with our legs together and bend forward, we separate our feet and bend forward, we stand on one leg and bend forward, we sit and bend forward...you get the idea. When we bend forward, the backside of the body gets long. This generally includes the hamstrings and the back of the spine. In recent decades, due largely to the influences of demonstration (which encourages straight lines) and contortion, the spine has become flatter and flatter. This means that we often concentrate all the pressure of forward folds in the hamstrings, creating a jackknife look with straight legs and flat back, folded neatly at the hips (pictured left below). While this looks quite impressive, it is not good for the body. In our culture, we generally already have weak hamstrings, so stretching them to such a degree serves no functional purpose. Instead, we are better served by strengthening the hamstrings, which will balance the hip joints and have profound effects on the abdomen and low back. LOW BACK Lets begin with the lower back. Most people have tightness there from sitting so much and from looking at computer screens and phones. The low back is reciprocally related to the hamstrings via the pelvis, meaning that the condition of one will generally be opposite of the other. So relaxed hamstrings make for an engaged low back; engaged hamstrings relax the low back. The more length we encourage in the hamstrings---by stretching them---the more shortness and tightness we are encouraging the in the low back. If we want to release tightness in the low back, it serves us to tighten and strengthen the hamstrings instead of stretch them. ABDOMEN The abdominal muscles, located as they are diagonally across the pelvis from the hamstrings, tend to share the hamstrings condition. So when the hamstrings are long and weak, the abdomen is long and weak too. This is the condition that we most often find ourselves in. Picture (Thanks to Danny Kennedy Fitness) But most of us know that we need to strengthen our abdomen to support the spine and release the low back. The same can be said for the hamstrings: strengthening them will stabilize the pelvis and support the spine. HIP FLEXORS The muscles in the front of the hips, called the hip flexors, are another well-known area of tightness in the body. Their tightness is exacerbated by the amount of sitting we do. This tightness creates length in the hamstrings, because the two muscle groups are reciprocally related, i.e. the condition of one group is generally the opposite of the other. It is well-known that we need to lengthen the hip flexors to relieve hip and spinal issues. Because the hip flexors are reciprocal to the hamstrings, length (stretching) in the hamstrings will lead to more shortness/tightness in the hip flexors, which is undesirable. Another reason why the hamstrings should be strong, not long. STRENGTHEN THE HAMSTRINGS Hopefully you can see that strong hamstrings will help to alleviate many common problems in the pelvis and spine, and that over-stretched hamstrings will exacerbate frequent pains and imbalances. So, how do we strengthen the hamstrings? Squatting exercises and postures like Chair Posture go a long way to strengthening the hamstrings and glutes. They also integrate the hips with the abdomen, which is great. See the link on the right (Understanding Chair Posture) if you have questions about how to do Chair Posture. Another great way to strengthen the hamstrings is by tipping the body forward halfway, as in Balancing Stick, pictured at the top of this article. Balancing stick is done on one leg, but you can also do the exercise on both legs by standing on two feet and bending forward halfway. Dont go past halfway, since were not trying to stretch the hamstrings. Two great strengthening postures can be done lying on the back: Bridge Posture and Jastiasana, both pictured above. Lie on your back and lift your hips in the air. You will need strength in the back of your hips, and this strength will help to release your hip flexors. http://www.ghoshyoga.org//make-the-hamstrings-strong-not-l

18.01.2022 Yoga for Healthy Joints I suppose in an ideal world we wouldnt need yoga at all. Which chimpanzee, panther or gazelle, ever needed to exercise? Should the huma...n animal be any different? Forget the big cat. We humans are one of the most divine movers in the natural world. Of course, athletes and movement artists embody the ultimate range, but dont forget your own bodys sweeping ability to configure into endless shapes and uses. How we mimic other creatures of planet earth. Such as the water bird poised gracefully on one foot or the monkey; hanging from a tree. With fingers and thumbs we can weave or write, or even bring forth music out of wood. Once, I even saw a man paint a masterpiece with his toes. Yet for most part we dont feel so majestic. Just to earn a living, our natural movement is clipped and consigned to small spaces for hour upon hour. Our vision is foreshortened, mostly running up against white walls. Rarely do we scan the horizon or pick a delicate edible amongst of forest of green. The joints of hands and fingers operate on one plane; the keyboard and the mouse. There is no longer the need for meticulous actions such as threading and weaving. Even handwriting is fast becoming a thing of the past. This weeks practice is a mobility base flow. Enabling you to take a break from the hemming in and the straight lines. Moving and exploring each joint and muscle, letting them limber up, flex and articulate to re-fire our natural energy.

17.01.2022 What have you learnt? Coming back in to the studio, finding yourself back on the mat, what have you learnt? What have you learnt in the quiet moments in your practice?... What have you learnt when a posture feels almost impossible, but you try your best anyway? What have you learnt about your practice after 3 months off? What have we learnt about you? Weve learnt that your dedication to your practice shines through when youre on your mat. Weve learnt about your strength and determination when you might fall out of a posture and how graceful you are as you try again. Weve learnt that many of you are being so kind and gentle with yourselves as you ease back in to your practice. Dont forget to book in to your next class on our Mindbody app. See you on the mat

17.01.2022 HYDRATE With the warmer weather settling in, it’s SO important to make sure you’re hydrated- especially if Hot 26 is your jam. Some great ideas are -... Water with lemon juice and a tiny pinch of Celtic salt Coconut Water Watermelon - blended up to make a juice Water with Electrolytes Let us know if you’ve got any secret recipes or tips on how you stay hydrated

16.01.2022 Lets Talk about Hot 26 (Bikram) Yoga. Hot 26 is one of our most popular classes here at Evolve/CCLF. And theres no confusion why that is. It is a tough class.... The room is HOT (41') so you will sweat (a lot), you'll get uncomfortable, and at points you'll wonder why do i do this.... and don't get started on the breathing exercises! But then after a few classes, all of a sudden the room temperature stops bothering you, and you start to memorise the postures so your confidence starts to build and you don't feel like a deer in the headlights anymore. And you're finally getting the hang of the breathing exercises. You start to see familiar faces in your classes and you realise we are a community working towards bettering ourselves so we can be better to each other. So, if you like to be pushed, to find out what you're made of and for 60 or 90 minutes, get out of your head to get in to your body.. Then book in to one of our Hot 26 classes via our mindbody app today. See more

The simplicity of a yin practice allows us to return to our bodies and to see clearly just how remarkable we really are. 3. The long hold times of a yin practice offer the chance to sit with our emotions. 4. Yin yoga revitalizes the tissues of the body. 5. Yin yoga can help us become more resilient to stress. 6. Yin yoga can help us tap into the parasympathetic nervous system. 7. The stillness of a yin practice primes us for meditation. So what are you waiting for?
