25.01.2022 Flow & Breakdown : Padmsana This Sunday 9am My oh my, there are so many variations of lotus pose in Ashtanga! But guess what? There are just as many ways to approach how we do padmasana. It is not necessary to have both feet on our thighs, and this is a pose that deserves to be approached patiently and with curiousity. ... This Sunday we will be preparing our hips and breaking down the mechanics of this ancient pose, so we can approach it safely in our practice. Laila x Padmasana variations pictured L- R are Matysasana, Urdhva Padmasana, Baddha Padmasana and Yoga Mudrasana

23.01.2022 Katie Green. Darling heart and @greenwitchpotions creator. So happy to have this yogi taking the reigns tomorrow morning at 8am Dynamic Flow whilst Laila is away. Have you met Katie? You should!

22.01.2022 It's Mabo Day and we would like to acknowledge and honour Eddie Koiki Mabo, an incredible Meriam man from the Torres Strait Islander community who fought for truth and justice. If not for him the High Court would not have overturned the claim of terra nullius in 1992, and recognise the special relationship Aboriginal Peoples have with Country. Indigenous rights and custodianship of the land we all live on would not have been acknowledged if not for his determination, integri...ty and pursuit of the truth. Black lives matter. Here. There. Everywhere. Artwork via Time Magazine

22.01.2022 Our regular schedule is back, after a little shake up for 10 days whilst I was enjoying Exmouth. We hope you managed to take some classes with Kristen Rodi, Susan G Byrne, Katie Green and Gérard Damien Forlee. So lucky to have these incredible yogis infuse the shala with their magic, and also Jo Meredith, Irene Schneider and Colette Corr our resident angels who forever lovingly care for the shala and the Open House yogis. Do you practice when you travel? For many years I ...used to maintain my full practice no matter where I was and how little space I had. These days the most important part of my holiday is waking up with no alarm and sharing a morning coffee with my husband. It really is the little things, that are the big things. For the last 10 days practice consisted of my holiday Ashtanga practice on secluded beaches, a beautiful restorative class with @ningalooyogini at @ningaloolighthouse , a wonderfully Agni stoking Yoga for Surfers class with Natasha at @inhalayogastudio. An attempt to practice with Journey to Yoga which didnt line up, but cannot wait to come back and seek you out again @kyliescott2002 At home the shala was well cared for, whilst I was spoilt with many wonderful places and teachers to practice in Exmouth. What lucky yogis we are in WA, such an incredible community! This is a little vid of my fave holiday practice spot. Prostrating to Surya, turquoise waters (and John) in my periphery, the salty smell of the East Indian Ocean and the gentle sea breeze on my skin. Yes. With love, Laila

16.01.2022 Kambarang Timetable Kambarang literally translates to rains decreasing. We see the return of the hot weather and an abundance of colours and flowers exploding all around us. Kambarang is a season of plenty and foods such as fruits, yams are abundant. October is also the most likely time of the year that we will encounter reptiles as they start to awaken from their hibernation, and Koolbardies (magpies) will be out protecting their nests and their babies. Many thing...s are undergoing transformation, are you feeling inspired to come out of hibernation and create also? Our Kambarang timetable commences October 1st. We hope you enjoy the change, and the last couple weeks of Djilba Season. #noongarseasons #seasonsofthesouthwest #newschedule #decolonise

15.01.2022 Dear Sangha, This pains us to do, but it no longer feels right to keep our doors open at this time. Your health and the health of our teachers is paramount to me. It has become difficult to chant the Closing Prayer with you all- a call to keep to the path of virtue and protect the welfare of all generations.... Tomorrows Mysore Class will be the final in-studio practice until further notice. Please know we will still be there to support you in practice; All scheduled classes will be live online, so please book like usual to receive the link. There will be an additional 5 classes added to our weekly schedule. We will be hosting some very special Guest Teachers online. We will be adding pre-recorded classes to a library for our members so you can practice at anytime. The Blog will be updated weekly to support your practice. Please be patient with us for the next two weeks while this all takes place and takes its new form. If you are not part of our Sangha Page please join - connection at this time is so important. Thank you all so much for your support. It hasnt gone unnoticed, and has filled my cup during these strange times more than you know. With love, Laila - Om Svasthi Praja Bhyaha Pari Pala Yantam Nya Yena Margena Mahim Mahishaha Go Brahmanebhyaha Shubamastu Nityam Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi May all be well with mankind. May the leaders of the earth protect it and all beings by keeping the right path. May there be goodness for those who know the earth to be sacred. May all the world be happy. Om peace peace perfect peace

14.01.2022 BOOK CLUB is Baaaaack! Last year Book Club was about exploring texts that concentrated on Yoga Philosophy. This year is about living our yoga. We all want to be seen and heard, unfortunately we dont all have equal time on the life mic. No one wants their story to be told for them, and the best thing we can do is to amplify those voices and take time to listen. Polly and I hope you like Growing up Aboriginal in Australia as much as we did

08.01.2022 Due to an impending weather warning, led has been cancelled tonight. It looks like its clearing up, but latest update says it will be quite bad when we finish class, and we dont want you commuting home from class if its really bad! To all those that booked in, please come to a morning Mysore class or Friday led class of you would like to make it up this week! Apologies, but want you all to be safe!

08.01.2022 . Flow + Breakdown Sunday 9am We love that many of you are starting your day with Mysore on Sundays! We are also sorry, that this means sometimes you might miss out. It literally kills me ... For the next few weeks the 9am will be a dedicated Vinyasa flow to prepare the body for an Asana found in the first or second series. Then we will spend some time workshopping the pose and it’s many variations. So if you do happen to miss out on Mysore, join me for this! I promise it will be super helpful and relevant to your Ashtanga practice, but concepts will be explored in a playful Vinyasa setting. First off the rank is Bakasana, which is a transition in primary and a posture we hold in two variations in Intermediate. Don’t like being on your hands? No problemo you will learn lying and sitting variations, that are just as challenging in their own way. Laila x taken in Mysore by Yogic Photos. Way to scared to straighten my arms at this height, and wondering how this shorty even got up there?

07.01.2022 A feeling is a rhythm imparted to the lungs. ~ Elemire Zolla. Do you notice the fluxing rhythms of your breath? Do certain breathing rhythms evoke certain feelings? Can you feel this imprint on your lungs? Can you change the rhythm, and if yes does this change how you feel? This video is from @eddiestern @thebreathingapp. The Resonance Breathing count can help us activate the vagus nerve, known as the nerve of emotion and can help us ground when our stress levels are ...heightened. It’s an easy go to, whenever you need to stop and breathe. quote is from The Art of Breathing in the West. Studies in Comparative Religion, Vol. 2, No.3. (Summer 1968).

02.01.2022 ''Please do not build a stupa for me. Please do not put my ashes in a vase, lock me inside and limit who I am. I know this will be difficult for some of you. If you must build a stupa though, please make sure that you put a sign on it that says, ‘I am not in here.’... In addition, you can also put another sign that says, ‘I am not out there either,’ and a third sign that says, ‘If I am anywhere, it is in your mindful breathing and in your peaceful steps.’'' ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

02.01.2022 Cultural Appropriation and Yoga Teaching What is a cultural exchange? When does appreciation overstep into appropriation? Can we draw on modern knowledge and be culturally sensitive? YES, but first we need to understand why cultural appropriation is problematic. Unless we have personally had a lived (and processed) experience, it can be hard to understand the depths of the harm it can create. Not just for the individual but for an entire culture fighting to own their n...arrative, stereotypes and colonial induced oppression. I’m going to be super clear. You cannot be a truly trauma-informed teacher, without doing this work. As a POC who has been around western yoga studio settings for 20 years, I mean this with every cell in my body. It’s complex and something that needs time and space to comprehend. If you are wanting to delve deep and teach with compassion our 350 hour Teacher Training might be for you. Applications are open and we are nearly at half capacity. More info in the link below https://www.openhouse-yoga.com//yoga-social-justice-teache Porch practice done, back to the studio to teach and then straight home to continue editing our YTT manuals. These manuals are sparking some serious joy, filled with goodness Love Laila
