23.01.2022 Why do we meditate? Meditation is a great tool to help reduce stress and anxiety, to train your mind to concentrate on one task at a time, focus on the present moment, and give a break to the monkey thoughts endlessly jumping from one topic to another from the moment you open your eyes and until your go back to sleep. But meditation has so many other wonderful benefits! Research has shown that it can: improve your memory ... lower blood pressure improve your connection with your inner-self, your intuition increase imagination and creativity promote emotional health help deal with pain improve your sleep cycle increase your sense of gratitude help reduce stress and anxiety Apparently, it takes 21 days for us to form a habit, but it takes around 8 weeks of daily effort to change brain’s grey matter. This means that by making meditation your daily practice, not only are you creating a healthy habit, but you are also changing your brain on a neurological level And what a good time to start! A great way to lean more, and get guidance on this journey is to join weekly Live Meditation Classes in our Online Studio and App every: Tuesday, 4:30PM with Kelvin Friday, 6PM with Elenni @elenni_jean Sunday, 11AM with Isabelle @isabelle_bow You can also play one of the many recorded meditations or come along to a class in one of our studios.

20.01.2022 Ready for a fresh year of looking after yourself and your wellbeing? Here are some Self-Love tools to get you inspired Get on your mat, move your body, flow it out or do some Yin or Restorative Don’t hold on to your past experiences, let go by journaling or talking to a friend Avoid criticising yourself. What would happen if you started approving of yourself and supporting yourself instead? ... Use meditation as a means to reconnect with yourself and your intuition Go on a date with yourself once a week, it can be a quiet breakfast out, a spa afternoon, a body care night at home, or reading your favorite book with a cup of coffee, in other words: treat yourself Learn to say no when you mean it. Put your well-being high up on your priority list. Learn something new, do that thing you always wanted to try, take risks, play with the beginners mind, have fun, and enjoy the process. A mantra that feels good to say to yourself (swipe in the carousel for more mantras ) Most importantly, remember that there is no magic formula and that self-love is a practice, nobody got it, we all go through tougher times, and relearn how to love ourselves over and over again. Allow yourself to find what works best for you and what makes you feel loved and connected to yourself xx #selflove #loveyourself #lightspaceyoga #onlineyogastudio #selflovetools #letgo #meditation #healing #wisdom #wisewords #wordstoliveby #yogastudiomelbourne See more

20.01.2022 Teacher Spotlight Kelvin is a true gem. We adore him and are just so blessed to have him part of our Light Space family Here is some more about Kelvin and what lights him up... I have a devotion to yoga. I adore sharing it with everyone. I love how yoga teaches me to be disciplined on and off my mat. I am in awe how yoga connects the breath, body and mind, allowing me to be in the moment. I love how there is not one particular way to move our bodies. I have a p...assion for making people laugh. I love and respect all genres of music especially disco. I fancy wearing nice things. I have a fondness for singing in the privacy of my own home. I am inspired by my family, friends, my greedy beagle and my two beautiful nieces, who mean the entire world to me cause they bring me so much joy and laughter and last but not least my soy lattes. Kelvin believes that he is forever a student. His classes are creative, dynamic, engaging and fun. Kelvin, we think you are OMazing! #lightspaceyoga #gratitude #teacherlove #community #lightyourjoy #yogamelbourne #melbourneyoga

16.01.2022 Teacher Spotlight We missed seeing our dear teachers so much. Here is a little bit about Mimi. She was wonderful at filming and teaching dynamic & fluid classes throughout the isolation period in our Online Studio, and now you can catch her in-person at our Balwyn, Mitcham and Ivnahoe our studios. Yay! PLUS her Tuesday morning classes at Ivanhoe are also live streamed so that you can enjoy and practice in the comfort of you own home ... I am a mother of 2 beautiful boys, no they are not babies but will always be my babies. I love raw food. I eat avocado with wasabi and soy sauce. I have green leaves addiction. I must have a coffee to start the day and a read to end the night. I love the beach, the sun and fresh breeze but I am terrified of the water. And yes, I love yoga. We love you @mimiuchiyama See more

14.01.2022 Art of Discovery This 35 min flow with Susan is the embodiment of Dukkha and Sukha, strong yet soft, powerful yet slow, steady yet comfortable. In this class it’s all about breathing and observing deeply and truly while moving from pose to pose. You might find yourself impatient, frustrated, or powerless, in some moments, proud, content, or even satisfied in others. Take the time to feel all that which will come up during this half hour and see yoursel...f move from one state to another. At the end of the day, this is the beauty of the practice in itself, coming every day to something that can seem similar to someone from the outside, but that will feel completely different every single time for you. So hop on your mat and Discover what the practice has in store for you today Our Online Studio is complimentary with our Unlimited Membership and is a wonderful way to maintain your yoga practice by perhaps balancing in-studio classes with a committed at-home practice We are live streaming 37 classes every week, and invite you to explore the 1,600+ on-demand classes. And as always yogis, if there are any classes/series you want created, just let us know See more
