25.01.2022 Yogis, do you think that it is possible to find a state of inner freedom in our everyday modern life? Help with a project I'm working on by commenting below yes, no, or yes but I could do with some guidance.

24.01.2022 Yogis, over in the group I asked if people would like me to pick a contemplation card and have a brief chat about it once a week. I'm wondering if that would be fun/useful? Let me know by filling in the poll or commenting, I'll do it if there is enough interest! Not a member of the group? It is where I do some free sessions and we have a bit more of a chat, join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/259753578380656

24.01.2022 He has given so much ....

24.01.2022 One of my favourite balance poses - warrior 3. Great for strength and focus, particularly if you don't want to fall in in this case!

23.01.2022 Chair yoga is tailored to people who don't want to get up and down from the floor for any reason. I'm looking forward to next term starting Monday July 12, 11.45 - 12.45pm. You can attend at Waverley Yoga Studio OR at home or work via zoom. If you know someone who could be interested, please let them know. Bookings are being taken now.

23.01.2022 Yes, true! Tiny but really helpful. The inner work is even more beneficial.

23.01.2022 This week we explored some hand gestures, or hasta mudras. This is chin mudra, where we connect the index finger and thumb, with the open gesture of the palm facing up. When we tune in we can notice subtle changes, for example, see what happens when you turn the palms down in gyan mudra. We often finish our sessions in anjali mudra, bringing the palms together at the heart.

22.01.2022 There are lots of ways to move your body. I love yoga on the mat and walking and this year have added a few minutes each day with light weights. What about you?

21.01.2022 Do you have yogi friends that would like to read my book 'Yoga off the mat, freedom in everyday life' for some Christmas reading or to pick a 'Yoga off the mat' contemplation card? Support your local Yogi AND give a fabulous and thoughtful gift. I can post to you or to the intended recipient and postage is free or of course I can see you at the studio if that is convenient. You can buy from my website store right here: https://www.sarasvatisallydawson.com.au/store/

20.01.2022 Did you catch my chat over in the group when I picked the cards for the New Year? You can scroll back in the group to find it, or if you prefer to read, in 3 posts over the next few days I share the links to blogs I have written about each of the cards that got picked. The first one was 'Be content right now, in this very moment' Of course this is easy when things are going well isn't it? The challenge of course is to find contentment when things are NOT going so well! Have a... read: https://www.sarasvatisallydawson.com.au//be-content-right/ See more

16.01.2022 I know its not right at the start of the year, but the New Year Ritual will be a great way to properly say good bye to 2020 and to prepare and make way for the new in 2021. Have you booked your spot? There are two separate events - on line and in studio (limited space remains). Bookings: https://www.sarasvatisallydawson.com.au/store/

16.01.2022 Leg strength, hip flexibility and a side stretch - this version of side angle pose mightn't look very fancy but there is quite a bit going on and lots of benefits.

A yoga practice that includes forward bending, back bending, twisting, sideways movements and of course deep relaxation and letting go, all from your chair. Please book ASAP.

13.01.2022 ‘I’ve tried meditation but my mind is too busy, it just never stops.’ Does this sound familiar? If this is you, it seems to me that you haven’t found the right tool to help you quiet your mind yet. Have you ever had a moment maybe when gardening, hiking, running or even knitting when the world just seemed to fade away and everything was peaceful and you felt blissful and truly alive? ... If so, then you definitely have the capacity to meditate. We all get caught up in stress and busyness and it is wonderful to have reliable tools to help us quieten down and feel into that ever-present place of awareness. Want to know more? The next Meditation Matters online workshop is on Friday October 16: https://www.sarasvatisallydawson.com.au/store/ This delightful picture is by @ericawebb_art_illustration from my book.

10.01.2022 HAPPY FRIDAY YOGIS Anyone relate? It has certainly changed mine!!!

09.01.2022 My home yoga space - where you see me if you come to my zoom sessions and where I usually practice too. When I'm not looking at you on a screen I can look outside and see sky, trees and garden. And of course close my eyes and feel within. You don't have to have a separate room though - alongside the bed or couch is also perfectly fine. Going to the same spot creates a routine and ritual that can feel really nice, a bit like walking in to a studio. (Yes there is a couch and chairs in here too by the way, just out of sight!) Want to show me your practice space?

09.01.2022 True! Thanks James Clear.

09.01.2022 Don't forget to book if you are planning to attend the New Year Ritual. I'm glad I made a zoom option for the Saturday as well as the studio option. There are only 4 spots left for the studio and lots left in the zoom room. This will be a fab way to orient yourself for 2021 and I'd love to share this special event with you.

08.01.2022 Much as a practice on the mat is important, there is lots more to yoga that will make a difference in your life.

07.01.2022 Do you have a 'not to do' list? I thought this was pretty cool from Courtney at @bemorewithless

06.01.2022 Do you live a limited life? You can feel expanded and free - regardless of the external circumstances. Want to know more? Check out Fluff-free freedom. https://sarasvati-sally-dawson-yoga-on-and-off-the-mat.teac

05.01.2022 New logo reveal!

05.01.2022 You don't have to search anywhere else, what a relief is that? The freedom you seek is right there within. Here's my latest blog, hot off the press from the contemplation card I picked here live in the group last week: https://www.sarasvatisallydawson.com.au//you-already-have/

04.01.2022 Are you doing any home practice during the holiday break? Anything I can help you with?

04.01.2022 I look forward to seeing you in the studio or on zoom this week: SUNDAY JULY 4 9.30 Meditation 10.30 General Yoga... MONDAY JULY 5 10am General Yoga 7.30pm General Yoga (zoom only) TUESDAY JULY 6 9.15 General Yoga Enjoy your practice, how fortunate we are to have discovered it

03.01.2022 Who is interested if I run some sort of yoga challenge the week before I return to teaching classes? Let me know!

03.01.2022 Janu sirshasana - usually translated as head to knee pose. It is a lovely stretch of the posterior muscles, and perhaps you are able to relax and settle here. Where you feel this depends on where you are tight, it is often the hamstrings or the lower back, but could also be the glutes. Personally I like stretching each side separately like this, although we don't always get down this close to the leg and that is totally fine. This can also be a challenging movement for the bent leg and if it doesn't suit then I suggest bending the leg less or not at all. You can also fold forward between the legs for more space for the boobs and belly. Like all poses in yoga, make it your own!

03.01.2022 Note the micro-bend in my right knee here - always a good idea to prevent hyper extension of the knee (and helps a forward bend if your hamstrings are tight too).

01.01.2022 Looking for some tips for meditation? Want to practice some different ways to quiet your mind and feel the inner stillness? I can help you with that. Meditation Matters workshop is coming up on Friday October 16 via zoom, Please book ASAP if interested so I can post your book to you. https://www.facebook.com/events/785590075612904
