15.01.2022 Dear friends and yogis, I will be holding a Chair Yoga workshop via Zoom on Saturday 10 October at 10:30am till 12:00pm. As always the session will include breath work, asana, meditation, relaxation and music. Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that will soothe the nervous system, improve your flexibility, strength and focus, whilst providing support. Although excellent in the case of rehabilitation and recovery from injury, it is excellent for all, particularly those who w...ork in an office, teaching you how to take yoga snacks throughout the day from your chair. All major joints and muscle groups will be addressed, with the practice incorporating forward bends, back bends, side bends and twists. Although most postures will be seated, there will be some standing postures using the chair as a prop. The session will conclude with a deeply relaxing yoga nidra guided meditation. The cost is $22 and includes ongoing access to the video recording so you can redo the practice in whole or part whenever suits you and as often as you like. Half the proceeds go to animal charities. Please message me if you are interested... Love and Namaste! Iris

03.01.2022 Laura and I encountered this absolutely precious and perfect little mouse in Centennial Park. So tiny - no more than an inch long! He/she was in the middle of t...he road and not moving, but otherwise looking well. We gently transferred this sweet being to a safer place beneath some undergrowth beside a tree far from the road.

03.01.2022 An anthropologist showed a game to the children of an African tribe ... He placed a basket of delicious fruits near a tree trunk and told them: The first child ...to reach the tree will get the basket. When he gave them the start signal, he was surprised that they were walking together, holding hands until they reached the tree and shared the fruit! When he asked them why you did that when every one of you could get the basket only for him! They answered with astonishment: Ubuntu. "That is, how can one of us be happy while the rest are miserable?" Ubuntu in their civilization means: (I am because we are). That tribe knows the secret of happiness that has been lost in all societies that transcend them and which consider themselves civilized societies ....... !! See more

01.01.2022 In today's yogalates class we spoke of the ability of a smile to help us relax. This is what Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh has to say about smiling : Smiling is a kind of mouth yoga. When we smile, it releases the tension in our face. Others notice it, even strangers, and are likely to smile back. By smiling, we initiate a wonderful chain reaction, touching the joy in anyone we encounter. A smile is an ambassador of goodwill. Namaste, Iris
