25.01.2022 So, I elaborated a little on todays social post about not giving up in our new blog section.

25.01.2022 We’re so excited to be able to open up yet more mats spaces in each class from today. That means more opportunity to practice with us and we look forward to welcoming you. Bookings essential in advance, no mat no practice and please bring a large towel. Head to the link in our bio to book your classes.

24.01.2022 Studio re opens again Thursday 18th from 7am. Bookings essential, mask essential, smiles essential. Team GRY x

24.01.2022 WE ARE OPEN! Weve had lots of messages in the past few weeks asking if were doing in person classes. Short answer, WE SURE ARE and we look forward to welcoming you to the studio. Remember to book in advance and you must bring a mat & towel to practice. See you on the mat!

23.01.2022 One hand up if you're excited it's Friday!

23.01.2022 WHAT IF I DONT GIVE UP? Of late, when Ive turned my attention inward, there is no mistaking it. Fear-based stories galore, jam packed with questions: Whats gonna happen? How are we going to do this and that? What if it isnt good enough?, and the list goes on. ... But then I got to thinking, what would it look like to not give up and just push forward to the best of our ability?

22.01.2022 OUR SPACE II When I think about what nourishes me, whats sustained me through much change is the creation of this space that was one of the first studios in Melbourne. There have been others since then, but this is HQ. We miss the hustle and bustle of sweaty bodies in the changeover between classes coming out with that blissed look on their faces. Not long now. The countdown is on!

22.01.2022 As this pic is of Brenton we asked him to dig up a quote hed like to elaborate on that resonates with him right now. "If youre going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill. I like it because it reminds us to keep moving. Moving is essential for us physically, and the idea that we must keep moving through the tough times is so well illustrated in this. Who wants to stop in hell? But in our yoga practise that can so often happen. When we find ourselves strugglin...g with a pose, we can stop it right there, pull the plug and tell ourselves its too hard or we cant do it. So it remains a struggle. Part of the process is to acknowledge "oh this is tough" but then keep breathing, keep going, keep trying. Should we choose to keep on through the tough bits, we pass through and then stop to enjoy the places of ease, of a greater understanding of our body/mind/capabilities/selves. Places where theres room to relax, expand and release. Keep moving towards those. The journey is not always rainbows and cupcakes. Sometimes theres places of difficulty and challenge. All the more reason to keep going Just keep going.

21.01.2022 D E E P L I S T E N I N G II Sometimes you have to let life turn you upside down, so you can learn how to live, right side up. Right now, our world is in chaos and there seems as if there is very little calm. Ive been asking that if things happen for a reason, why is this happening? Are we all to gain a new perspective, what is it that were not seeing, what is it that were not hearing? We must dedicate ourselves to deep listening for it is this that Thich Nhat Hanh... says is our greatest gift, to listen and to listen deeply. How are you listening to whats happening in the world? #conversation #spirituality #love #spiritualgrowth

21.01.2022 SUPPORTING YOU THROUGH THIS TIME I know Im smiling and ill keep on smiling as there is a lot to smile about. Firstly, we thank everyone who returned to the studio for in person classes over the past few weeks. Seeing everyone and connecting with friends old and new has been rewarding to the entire team, so thank you.... We are surely in extraordinary times right now. The state government decision to lock down metro Victoria for another 6 weeks from Wednesday 8th July 11.59pm is devastating for our state, our states economy, local business of any size and the impact on our way of life unprecedented. We appreciate those who supported GRY through the last lock down and as we plan to go back online we look forward to your continued support. Our full update is available on our website by clicking the GOING BACK ONLINE link on the website and also the link below. We look forward to connecting online soon.

20.01.2022 R U OK? No, seriously are you ok? With everything thats happening right now it would be very reasonable to not be ok and if that is the case, please reach out because community means we are here for one another. Please check in on the people, even if you think they are ok.....

19.01.2022 FREE OFFERING II Join Jess tomorrow for two free offerings. 15 Mins of gentle movement to wake you up in the AM and settle you in the PM. Sign up online and enjoy.

18.01.2022 Its the perfect day to bake! See this yum recipe from one of our students in our community on our blog now. Thank you Holly for sharing x https://grassrootsyoga.com/food/guiltfreegoodness/

17.01.2022 Abso Friday Loutely! We must admit, the days can feel as if they are rolling into one but we never forget FRI-Yay now do we?! How good is it to look back on the week with pride? On reflection over the weeks in ISO I was saying, OMG Ive wasted so much time, but now Im looking at it with a Ive learned to stop rushing the things that need to grow, which has also allowed for space. ... Over the years the studios have demanded quite a lot as any small business owner can attest, so its been nice to reflect on what we have created, how much weve inspired others and what work there is also yet to accomplish. The social and economic impacts aside, Im grateful for the pause and reset that has come from this time.

16.01.2022 Who's joining Brenton tomorrow for class online? Tomorrow's class begins with foot, ankle and leg stretches, and then explores grounding down to create stability for standing twisting poses. Finish with a floor series that continues our grounding and foot focused theme. Sign up online to join or if you're a member, head to our online database and watch at anytime.

16.01.2022 What are the tools for practice? We think it's a mat, towel, block, strap and even a bolster but these are aids to enhance the overall practice. Turing up, showing up where you are and exploring movement and breath are what's essential. We look forward to seeing you soon so we can guide you through one of our classes.

15.01.2022 C H A N G E They say change is as good as a holiday and as Australians weve had an enormous amount of change this year that has de stabilised our foundations. We are strong as a nation and as a collective people. Dedication to practice can create deep roots to your foundations in an effort to best weather the winds of change. Practice means different things to different people and we look forward to being able to bring you yoga, meditation & pranayama practices in person from June 22 as a community, were we can re connect and re establish unity.

15.01.2022 We made it. We’re beyond excited that we will soon be able to return to the studio as of Monday 9th November. It’s been a long and uncomfortable road that we have all had to travel in our own ways this last lockdown.... We remain committed to offering practices for healing and growth and we can’t wait to open the doors and welcome you back. Information on class timetables and offerings to come in the next week.

14.01.2022 Were in confined spaces right now here in Victoria but our minds are limitless, as is our bodies expression with movement. We invite you to join us online where we explore movement, breath with a determined focus.

14.01.2022 EVOLVE or REPEAT? Seems like a simple enough questions, right? We can stay with what we know, what we feel comfortable with and what we always do... or we can choose differently. Does it take more courage to do one over the other and how to we move out of our old patterns? Only you can answer this....... It can take time to evolve but when you do, you look back and feel great that you moved through the discomfort. Come flow with us to explore you in new ways.

13.01.2022 Ive begun to wonder if Im overusing the saying Im doing my best, but its true, were all doing our best in challenging times and whatever that looks like is ok. There are winds of change also butting up against the ideas we have about doing our best that go beyond what we think and dream for ourselves, there are many others that need what strength we cultivated through practice that we can use to advocate for others. Our obligation is to learn more, listen more and once we know better, do better.

13.01.2022 BOOKINGS REQUIRED II Hands up if youve booked in for your classes this week? With limits on our class numbers its essential to book in advance and were here to help if you need it. Remember to bring your mat, towel and water when you come. ... We look forward to welcoming you to the mat soon.

12.01.2022 What good would rushing things be right now? None at all. Weve been forced to slow down, to virtually stop in our tracks so lets use this time to reflect on what our purpose is. Join us with mindful movement practices so we may help you uncover what your true desire might be.

12.01.2022 H E A R T Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction. Rumi It can be hard to discern the voices we hear as heart or head sometimes however through practice we can learn the difference with resounding clarity.

09.01.2022 We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy. Joseph Campbell We do yoga because it brings us joy.

07.01.2022 QUOTE It's hard to believe we need to go with the flow, but railing against it will only bring us more discomfort. What is it that we can listen into about what we're feeling so that we may grow?

06.01.2022 GRATITUDE II Gratitude turns what you have into enough! Did you know that? When asked, what she was grateful for recently, Jess replied with the following: The last few days, I am super grateful for a little more freedom to get back out into nature and be able to spend more time with my family. Overall, during this particular time I have been really grateful for my health and having the time to slow down and reconsider the things in life that are truly important to me. Jess Doxey. What are you most grateful for during these times?

Take some space today, or whenever you can, do so with intention, reflection and mindfulness to see what kind of calm you can create.

01.01.2022 K I N D N E S S Whilst I still admire intelligence, kindness of thoughts, words and actions are far more valuable an asset in a world that yearns for healing. What are you contributing to the world if with every thought, word and subsequent action? Remember, when we practice loving kindness and compassion, we are the first to benefit, says Rumi, so first heal yourself and be of service to those around you.

01.01.2022 I cant change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always REACH my destination.

01.01.2022 M U D R A II Open Palms In yoga, hand positions called mudras are used to intensify the effect of body postures. Mudras are thought to invoke qualities such as patience or peacefulness. Open palms is said have been associated with truth, honesty, and openness, which are all things we could cultivate more of right now. ... What is your truth right now and what could you be more open to?
