25.01.2022 Very excited about my upcoming trip to Europe, including a visit to Plum Village. https://plumvillage.org/retreats/info/neuroscience-retreat/

25.01.2022 Two of my favourite approaches integrated in one book. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

24.01.2022 Couldn't resist this one :)

22.01.2022 Finally....some medical evidence to support the techniques we offer in our Breath Taking app which help lower High BP. (bit.ly/btapp01 to download the app) If you have the condition, you'll be interested to read this...

22.01.2022 Quite an interesting article on the cultural appropriation of yoga in the west. It's interesting that this effect goes both ways, and yoga also appropriated a lot of it's gymnastic style moves from westerners ( Yoga Body, Mark Singleton)

21.01.2022 Yoga is my investment in ageing well.

19.01.2022 Planning on reminding myself about the wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh

19.01.2022 This looks like a wonderful experience, created by my friend in the Netherlands. It would be great to do something similar in newcastle. Does anyone know a singing bowl master ?

17.01.2022 What does yoga mean to you?

16.01.2022 A friend of mine from Yoga Nidra teacher training has posted this video, and I think it is timely advice about managing our news consumption, and focussing on things we can control.

13.01.2022 Yoga is an internal art, the inner experience is more important than the outer appearance.

11.01.2022 It's great to see the Australian Defence Force embracing yoga .

11.01.2022 Yoga isn’t just about moving your arms and legs as exercise. The traditional presentation of yoga is an extensive system of well-being and inner peace, from tho...usands of years ago. To ignore that and reinvent modern practices as yoga is like calling fast-food pizza an exemplary pioneer of Italian cuisine. But that doesn't mean you can ignore all modern food safety standards to cook like they did five hundred years ago either. There is a reason why infectious diseases are fewer in today’s world, that’s partly due to better hygiene practices. Similarly, your yoga teacher also has to follow modern safety standards and adopt modern science and knowledge. That’s one of the keys of Svastha Yoga and Ayurvedato start from the deep well of traditional insight, and without losing what’s important, blend it with modern medical and well-being sciences.

10.01.2022 Improving immunity is a key to wellbeing especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In this video, Dr. Ganesh Mohan explains 7 strategies you can look into from a holistic perspective.

09.01.2022 Great to hear people share their stories of how yoga helped them through trauma.

08.01.2022 Feeling busy, overwhelmed or tired at this time of year?! Two monthly workshops left for 2019: this coming Saturday 26th October and Saturday 30th November. In ...these workshops we have been exploring practising Ahimsa (kindness/gentleness) in both body and mind through different postural emphases. Imagine living in a body that feels comfortable and relaxed and a mind that is calm, clear and friendly! Suitable for all levels. THIS SATURDAY we will be exploring Twists and improving Digestion. An opportunity to deepen our experience of Yoga through both dynamic movement and relaxation and reset the nervous system - without needing to take a whole weekend away. Please let me know if you are interested in booking in for 3 hours of balanced practices (strengthening, opening, relaxing) and light refreshments in a peaceful setting. Warmest wishes, Geraldine x

06.01.2022 love this infographic explaining the 8 limbs of Patanjali's Yoga

02.01.2022 I've had a lifelong interest in practicing the martial arts, inspired initially like millions of others while watching the TV series Kung Fu, starring David Carradine. However many different styles of martial arts I tried, they always came across as shallow, focussing on physical techniques. Most martial arts centres now gain their revenue from teaching after school kids classes, or ultra violent mma styles. Many martial arts schools are even franchised. More recently as a Ps...ychologist, I've been introduced to several forms of westernised mindfulness practices ( MBSR, MBCT, MBCBT), which all claim to strip away away the cultural baggage of buddhism to apply a scientifically tested version of the essence / active ingredient. When you think about it, the process is very similar to pharmaceutical companies that take a plant, and extract the most active ingredient, test it, patent it, and sell it. As the recent book, McMindfulness sheds light on the capitalistic, and corporatisation of buddhist principles, it occurs to me that this has also happened not surprisingly in yoga. Ironically Bruce Lee was supposed to be cast in the Kung Fu Tv series, but the networks didnt want an asian actor playing the role. My realisation is this : you cannot reduce these practices, yoga, buddhism, martial arts, to essences. Buddhism, yoga and traditional martial arts have strong ethical components to their practices, without which the benefits of practice will be unsustained, and will not lead to personal growth.
