24.01.2022 BASELINE CHECK IN Check in with yourself. In today's climate it can be hard to check in with your feelings and emotions as they're running high: from fear and distress to confusion.... Take a pause and check in with yourself while following these four simple steps 1. Notice the feeling 2. Drop the label. Without naming the feeling any longer? Where do you feel it in your body? 3. Linger in that place in your body and observe. See what happens. 4. Try inviting in the opposite feeling for a while. Join me each Thurs at 12 noon for an iRest meditation practice online from the comfort of your home. Or book a private dyad meditation where we sink deeper in what needs support underneath it all. Or follow a free 15 min guided pause break from my website link. Thankyou @irest #monitoryourself #yogatherapy #yoganidrameditation #yoganidra #irestyoganidra #irestmeditation #meditation #mindfulness #mindfulnesspractice #yoga #irest #anxiety #depression

22.01.2022 How are you discovering your solidarity to the "everything else" as we make sense of this pivot in humanity? I am finding myself nourished by the clear happy skies and excitement of natures strong returning, and the reality that we all breathe from the one fragile mother. But can we be grow as human-kind? Can we preserve SLOW, SIMPLICITY and SURRENDER without throwing the megamachine economy into overdrive? I wonder how we can use this emergence as an aware portal for creativ...ity, empowerment and healing. So I sit with the not knowing as an intelligent space to BE. Thankyou David Abram for this reminder. And appreciate each connecting breath. #makingsenseofcorvid #yogatherapy #climatechaos #intelligentnotknowing

21.01.2022 ACTION : CONNECTION TO SELF 'People suffering from trauma or PTSD, have often lost their sense of connection with themselves and the world around them. During Yoga Nidra, we want to get them in touch, right away, their deep desire for healing: for feeling reconnected to themselves'. Dr Richard Miller Too often people have tried to focus on what they need to do in their outer world before they’ve re-established connection to their inner world. We want them to feel connected bo...th internally and externally. Once a person regains connection to their inner sense of self, we want to then discover the actions they need to take into the world that enables them to feel potent and powerful again. This also helps them recognize how this practice pertains to every moment of their lives. Life is constantly asking us to act. If we aren’t connected within, we’ll often fail to understand the action we need to take into the outer world, and, by failing to act, sustain our sense of helplessness. Yoga Nidra is all about action. Join me each Thursday at 12 noon on Zoom for a guided iRest Yoga Nidra meditation. I can quarentee you'll love it!

19.01.2022 Are you unkind to yourself? Do you struggle with self-care? Do you lack compassion for yourself? Restorative Yoga in the Zen Recovery course emphasises the deli...berate practice of mindful rest, something with which many of us enjoy but put off until we need the rest. Take the time for yourself to restore, to quieten the mind and find connection to yourself. Zen Recovery combines restorative yoga with yoga therapy and meditation to teach you tools and techniques to help you slow down, reduce stress and anxiety, sleep better and more.

17.01.2022 EMBODIED WISDOM If we can practice yoga as a process of coming home to the body, of tuning into the physical insights that are held in our nooks and crannies, and experiencing what lies beyond the constant narration of the mind, it offers an opportunity to tap into a deep wisdom. As we tune into these more subtle messages, we learn so much about ourselves and our relationship to others. We learn to listen, to understand and to respond to our needs in new ways. We learn to r...ecognise the deep knowing that resides in us, and can use it to find a deeply embodied sense of wellbeing. For movement facilitators, this also means learning to trust the wisdom held in other people's bodies. Offering guidance, and supporting people to tune into their own innate knowing. It means acknowledging that each human is the expert of their own embodied experience. We can't hear the messages being sent within another body, and we should never speak over those whispers. In fact, it's our role to amplify them.

17.01.2022 Stress Reduction vs. Stress Resilience 'Many people want their yoga (or mindfulness or wellness or embodiment) practices to serve as a respite from the stress of today’s world. I get that. At the same time, this is a stress reduction strategy. It predicates well-being on the ability to control our environment by removing anything that causes stress. Over time, this is harmful to the health of our nervous (and immune) systems, which not only thrive on but require stress in o...rder to survive. The alternative: A stress resilience strategy which incorporates all experiences, even the ones that stress us out.' Bo Forbes Ready to update your embodiment?

15.01.2022 VULNERABILITY The dynamics of social justice and fairness are changing. It's messy. It's overwhelming but it somehow feels right.... Can we hold our vulnerability in a place of deep understanding whilst our world takes its oppressive armour off? Can we sit in our body to simply begin being ok with not being ok. Being ok with not knowing. Being ok with simply listening. Go gently ... buddhi whispers. Gather in and hold your inner resources close. Trusting the process of CHANGE will keep us in flow. Reach out my hand is waiting. #dismantlerascism #yogaand #socialjustice #equalitynow #yogatherapy #bethechange

08.01.2022 This uncomfortable truth needs to be shared. Thankyou @susannabarkataki for this awakening. Yoga too, can be used as a tool of discrimination and oppression. ... Think and act critically. On the International Yoga Day June, 21, 2020 I want to ask us not to uncritically celebrate a holiday that is anti-Black and discriminatory. International Yoga day, brought forth by the Modi Government of India, unanimously accepted and ratified by the UN is expressly a part of the Modi governments described Hindu Soft power. On International Yoga Day’s past Modi requires all government workers to practice yoga, positioned himself as a quasi-spiritual political leader and then excluded and punished religious And ethnic minorities such as Muslims, Sikhs, Jains, adivasis, Dalits and other target identities in India. Many, though not all, are Black folks and this continues the colorism and anti Black discrimination in our own communities. Modi and Trump get along well and just after Howdy Modi and Namaste Trump Trump visits India in Feb 2020 Modi’s nationalistic rhetoric has fueled anti Muslim riots where he stood by and allowed paramilitary and government police to harm and kill Muslims in India under his watch through his tenure and in March this year. He has also jailed intellectuals and activists with no cause. And enacted a citizenship Bill that expressly targets Muslims. If you stand against white supremacy why would you condone Hindu supremacy? International yoga day isn’t an innocuous holiday celebrating all things yoga. It’s a project of Hindu nationalism. Though yoga is unity this is harmful to so many. And it’s not the first time yoga has been used to exclude and separate. We can’t get to unity without looking at separation. Yoga was never under the purview of one religion only and has been influenced by and influenced many. However it has in the past and is currently being used as a vehicle for Hindu Nationalism and Hindu supremacy in India. Question what you are celebrating and the impact it has and if you want to participate in this. Is yoga being used for an oppressive agenda? We need to be in solidarity #asteya #ahimsa #bravethediscomfort

01.01.2022 YOGA THERAPY 'The rich and ancient wisdom of yoga provides the context for yoga therapy. The practice must be completely grounded in this foundation to retain it's full potential for improving wellbeing and to be understood as a distinct integrative healthcare profession. When yoga practices are taken outside this framework and applied through a solely biomedical lens, for instance, they may lose their effectiveness and therapeutic potential creating misunderstandings of the... practices themselves'. Marlysa Sullivan So when I get asked by healthcare workers what are some good practices for anxiety, prescriptive practices may be helpful but do not address the underlying cause. This limits the full scope of the yoga therapy profession and possibly starts to mimic other modalities like psychology or physical therapies. It excites me to know that we can now link yoga therapy concepts to philosophical and neurophysiological ideas such as phenomenology, eudamonic wellbeing, ethical inquiry, polyvagal theory, interoception, top down and bottom up regulation and resilience. Congratulations @marlysayoga for blazing the way forward for community health. #yogatherapy #yogaformentalhealth #canberrayoga #communityhealth #communitywellbeing #canberramentalhealth #complementarytherapy #integrativemedicine #holistichealthcare #traumarecovery #traumainformedyoga #yogatherapytext

01.01.2022 DOUGHNUT ECONOMY Have you heard?! Amsterdam has decided to implement Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics as a way to recover from the current crisis. If you're not familiar with the doughnut, basically it's a model that's all about moving away from the circular system of goods and money that prioritises growth for growth's sake, and instead focuses on creating a more regenerative and sustainable world for humans and the environment. In the centre of the doughnut the do...ughnut hole is a place where we avoid putting pressure on the planet, but in doing so fall short of providing basic human needs. If we stray too far from the centre, however, we break through the ecological ceiling and threaten our environment. The doughnut itself is the "sweet spot" where both humans and the planet can thrive. Doughnut Economics is a cute name, but it turns out it's also a pretty viable alternative to a broken system. Kate's book starts with the line, The most powerful tool in economics is not money, not even algebra, it is a pencil. Because with a pencil you can redraw the world. #Repost @dumbofeather (@get_repost) #sustainability #newworldeconomy #yogatherapy #changemaker #traumaware #bethechange #yoga #meditation #mindfulness
