25.01.2022 Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog) is a resting pose, however when we break it down, use all the muscles in the diagrams below, engage the core (to protect the neutral spine) and bring awareness to the breath with Ujjay breathing, we turn the pose into an all over body workout with calming sensations....magic!!! #loveindieyoga #downdogismyfav

24.01.2022 Ok let’s share our favourite asana...What’s your favourite?

22.01.2022 Kandhrasana (or Bridge Pose) is a favourite asana for reducing backaches and headaches. Practicing the asana calms the brain and central nervous system, soothing the effects of a stressed out and busy day, that may have caused the headache in the first instance. Enjoy Kandhrasana after several warm up stretches to reap the benefits.#loveindieyoga #asanalab #bridge

21.01.2022 Balance postures, like Vrksasana, are grounding and can balance emotions. DoTERRA's Past Tense can offer the same benefits off the mat. Available in a convenient roller bottle, the delightful scents and active essential oils can ground emotions, soothe a tension headache in minutes, and ease stressful feelings. Indie Yoga can provide all your essential oil needs so if you would like to know more call, txt or pm. Maybe you would like to have a yoga/scent workshop to discover how yoga and essential oils are a perfect match. #loveindieyoga #balance #pasttense Connect with Manda 0404 277 962

17.01.2022 Upward-Facing Dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana) is a powerful pose that awakens upper-body, glut and upper-leg strength and offers a wonderful stretch for the chest and abdomen. A favourite asana in vinyasa, not only for the strengthening benefits but for heart opening. When practiced consciously with deep, long, even breaths, we open our hearts to acceptance, forgiveness and love#loveindieyoga #asanalab #heartopener

14.01.2022 This week we are exploring Vrksasana (tree pose) a classical balancing posture. Combined with its physical benefits, practicing Vrksasana can give us insight into what may weighing upon our minds or our emotional state. Falling out of a pose is an opportunity to enquire into what’s going on at a deeper level, and maybe it’s a stressor or something that we are just not acknowledging. #loveindieyoga #vrksasana #notjustanasana#asanalab

12.01.2022 Virabhadra, the distinguished Warrior, created by Shiva to be one of his most trusted guards, the protector of the sages. The Warrior Archetype qualities are being explored and developed in our yoga practice this week, with the Warrior poses! Virabhradasana I, II and III are intended, among other physical benefits, to develop the inner qualities of the Warrior, qualities that are essential to developing our greatest personal and spiritual potential. The Warrior qualities are empowerment, courage, clarity and non-attachment. Exhibit the Warrior qualities and let yourself shine from within! #loveindieyoga #virabhadra #empowerment

11.01.2022 Breath awareness is what makes practicing yoga asanas different from other forms of exercise. When focusing on the breath during our asana practice, the control of the breath shifts from the brain stem (medulla oblongata) to the cerebral cortex (evolved part of brain) due to being aware of the breath. It's in that moment, when we are aware, when the magic starts to happen. The mind will become more quiet and a calm awareness arises. As a result emotional stress and random thoughts are less likely to occur. So basically the whole system gets a break. The energy, the prana, begins to flow more freely pushing through any emotional and physical blockages and thus freeing the body and mind. Which results in the feel good effect after a yoga practice.#asanalab #breathawareness #loveindieyoga

10.01.2022 Number 13 makes it all worthwhile, and should never be skipped! Relaxation or Meditation at the end of practice allows your body, mind and spirit to soak up all benefits of your physical efforts.#loveindieyoga #savasanaisbliss

08.01.2022 Triangle Pose or Trikonasana strengthens our physical and emotional bodies. It allows us to bring expansion to the muscles that need it most, and by extension, creates space in these places for emotional release and healing. Trikonasana provides an ideal combination of opening, elongating, stretching, and challenging the body. By doing so, it targets the areas that take the brunt of daily stress and allows them to find solace and release. Try incorporating Trikonasana into your regular yoga practice and you'll discover its a wonderful way of bringing yourself into alignment physically, mentally, and emotionally. #loveindieyoga #asanalab #triangle

07.01.2022 Off the back of four days at the Port Fairy Folk Music Festival this gorgeous affirmation card crossed my path this evening, so I had to share and express my gratitude for the blessing that is Music#folkie

05.01.2022 Everyone’s physical flexibility is different, some fold easily into forward bends or backbends and some may struggle. It’s being flexible in mind and reaction that matters and what we will strive for in our yoga practice and daily life! #loveindieyoga #asansalab #flexible

03.01.2022 At the Indie Yoga studio this week our focus has been Asana Lab, taking two poses and delving into the alignment and benefits of two asanas, Tadasana and Uttanasana. To compliment our practice we have been diffusing doTERRA Anchor Steadying Blend, a blend that promotes feelings of completeness, calmness, and courage, feelings that are promoted by these two asanas. doTERRA Anchor brings a firm trust in yourself so you can approach your practice and life with calming strength.... Incorporating Lavender, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Cinnamon, Frankincense, Black Pepper, and Patchouli in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil, this blend supports your connection to yourself and your innate wisdom, and smells absolutely Divine. Anchor, Steadying Blend is one of the three beautiful blends in the doTERRA Yoga Collection. The collection will be available to try at classes this coming week....hmmmm can’t wait to share, loving these blends so much on and off the mat #loveindieyoga #doterraanchor #tadasana #uttanasana #asanalab
