23.01.2022 We’re slowly working our way through outlining the 8 Limbs of Yoga ... Focusing on the 5th limb today: PRATYAHARA (withdrawal of the senses) . This is where the practice starts to get really interesting but commonly overlooked or misunderstood as we move away from the gross physical body and a tangible practice, into more of an internal practice . @yogajournal had a nice way of explaining how one might experience PRATYAHARA in Savasana...... Once the body is relaxed you move into a second state of Savasana where you are withdrawing from the external world without completely losing contact with it. This withdrawal is an experience of pratyahara. Most of us know this state; when you're in it, you feel like you're at the bottom of a well. You register the sounds that occur around you, for example, but these sounds do not create disturbance in your body or mind. It is this state of nonreaction that I am calling pratyahara. You still register input from your sense organs, but you don't react to that input. There seems to be a space between the sensory stimulus and your response. Or, in everyday language, you are in the world but not of it. . Maybe you’ve experienced this in Meditation or in Savasana!? We’d love to hear your experiences and your insights...
23.01.2022 The 4th of the 8 limbs of Yoga: PRANAYAMA . Prana is our life force, our energy, our chi. And pranayama is the control of this life force through breath... manipulating the breath, extending the breath, retention of the breath. Different techniques aim to cultivate different experiences physiologically, mentally, and energetically. . This practice is essentially a gateway to access a deeply meditative state; preparation for the Meditation practice. Asana prepares the body..., and pranayama prepares the mind. The breath is our anchor to present moment awareness and a great tool to fine tune our concentration and steady the mind . Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breath) is a beauty to calm the mind, to balance the Nadis (energetic pathways), to balance the left and right hemisphere of the brain, and really centre oneself. . Ask our teachers about Pranayama and familiarise yourself with this incredibly powerful practice! See more

21.01.2022 Sophie grew up in a small town on the mid-north coast and from a young age was instilled with a great love for the ocean, nature and the land. After a few years of living a really busy and fast-paced life in Sydney, working full time in the corporate world, she left her job to pursue a more meaningful path. Never having looked back, this wild and wonderful adventure has taken her around the world where she has learned from some truly remarkable teachers and traditions. . So...phie has studied with Clive Sheridan for almost a decade. She travelled to Bali to complete her initial 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga Arts under the guidance of Louisa Sear and Lucy Roberts and has completed a number of Trauma-Informed Yoga Trainings with A Sound Life. . Early in 2015 on retreat in India, she was blessed to meet another remarkable teacher, Sri Sakti Amma, whose simple but powerfully profound teachings of love, service, and compassion to all have supported her on a new level. Since returning home from this trip, her passion to share these teachings and transformational tools of yoga for service and for therapy has become a major influence in the work she wants to continue to do. . For anyone who has stepped foot in the Livingroom you can feel instantly it is an incredibly special and unique space. @sophiepalmeryoga teaches every MONDAY & WEDNESAY 12-1pm!! @ Coogee, New South Wales
20.01.2022 Spring has most definitely SPRUNG 28 degrees!!! Stay safe out there #covidsafe #coogee
20.01.2022 So grateful for the practice of YOGA & MEDITATION Improving our quality of life physically and mentally the more we jump on the mat. Just as we cultivate strength & flexibility in our bodies, we create strength & flexibility in the mind. More spaciousness, less reactivity, self-regulating thoughts and behaviour, better sleep quality, anxiety assistance... So many different breath, movement and meditation techniques with so many benefits!! . Were blessed to have a communi...ty of teachers who teach a wide variety of Yoga & Meditation styles You can learn something different from everyone. Some of the lineages taught range from Traditional Hatha, to Jivamukti, to Japanese Yoga, to Tibetan Buddhist Meditations. . Come & see for yourself! #namaste See more
20.01.2022 Georgia first discovered yoga in 2009 after she broke her back and was in desperate need of some pain relief and assistance in gaining full mobility back in her body. After pursuing many avenues, it was yoga that really clicked and became a massive part of her rehabilitation. Having experienced firsthand the incredible impact yoga can have both physically & mentally, Georgia felt the desire to share it with others. . The importance of Yoga in Georgias life has evolved beyon...d the many wonderful physical benefits. Every practice offers the opportunity to become more intimate with ourselves, to cultivate an inner intelligence of how our own bodies and minds work. Its a paradox of personal understanding yet impersonal witnessing of self, which enables us to recognise habits and behaviours that arent necessarily serving us, empowering us to make positive change. Yoga has shaped how I see the world and how I would like to contribute. What I love most about teaching is to hold space for students to do the same. To connect with themselves as well as something greater than themselves; to find refuge from busy lives, and to essentially feel really good about themselves. Its very rewarding to know that yoga can change someones day for the better, which no doubt has a ripple effect off the mat and out into the world. . Georgias qualifications include Yoga Arts 200hr Teacher Training, 50hr Yin Yoga Teacher Training at Sukha Mukha with Maryanne Edwards, 50hr Meditation Teacher Training with Mark Breadner, 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction with Openground. . The Livingroom is a very special place for Georgia. Its her second home where shes spent countless hours practising, working, playing and socialising. Shes been a student for the last 10 years since she first moved to Coogee and started working downstairs at @barzura . Shes worked alongside Rod and Mari managing the studio and all of the wonderful teachers. Georgia loves being part of this community, its become like family. . Catch a class with Georgia WED 9:30am, and THUR 5.30pm & 7pm @sydasana_wellness @ Coogee, New South Wales See more
19.01.2022 Dara discovered Yoga in 2002 taught by Gavin Robins during her time studying at theatre and television college . Yoga is important to Dara as it is the link that unites the soul to the source of where we come from . Daras qualifications include: Advanced Diploma in Yoga studies, plus frequently travel to India to deepen her practice.... . The Livingroom holds a special place in my heart because it is a place for each of us to come and connect to the divine and attracts likeminded people who all contribute to an environment that is welcoming and feels like home. . Catch a class with Dara every Friday 6am, and Saturday 7am + 10am @ Coogee, New South Wales See more

17.01.2022 Beautiful Izabela Iza first discovered yoga when she was 15 from a book that her parents had on a bookshelf. Her flow was a Sun Salutation A, and she was hooked. Yoga is important to Izabela because she feels that no matter what is happening in her life, the moment she steps on the mat everything falls away and she can get perspective. My favourite yoga pose is Tadasana, because I live in my head, and to have a moment to feel my feet plug into the ground is super spec...ial, I do it all the time, works like magic. Izabelas qualifications are 500hr+ Senior Hatha Yoga teacher, Yoga Therapist, Prenatal/Postnatal, Kids Yoga Teacher, Meditation Facilitator, Pilates Instructor, Massage Therapist, Myotherapist and Exercise Physiologist in the making. and that is just a snippet! The Livingroom is special to Izabela because she absolutely loves the distant sound of the ocean, the community, and collection of very unique teachers. . CATCH A CLASS with Izabela: Tuesdays 6am Hatha Tuesdays 7:30am Vinyasa Wednesdays 6am Hatha Wednesdays 6:30pm Vinyasa Fridays 12pm Hatha @ Coogee, New South Wales
17.01.2022 Yoga was something that chased Kitty for years, it was always something on the periphery that she read about or that her friends were into. In 2014, Kitty finally committed to a regular practice. She was experiencing a lot of change in her life and one of her friends suggested they go to a yoga day retreat. From then on Kitty knew that she needed to be practicing regularly. The consistency and discipline of a regular practice helped to ground her through a challenging time bo...th physically and emotionally. . Yoga is important to me because I have experienced it change me and have watched it change so many people. Its a truly transformative practice. I have tried lots of different wellness practices, but there is nothing that encompasses the body, breath and mind the way that yoga does. I find refuge in the movements and in the philosophy. . Kittys qualifications include 300hr Jivamukti YTT in 2017, 500hr apprenticeship through Jivamukti Yoga with @muktigirl (another amazing m Livingroom teacher) in 2018. 50hr Yin YTT with Sarah Powers in 2020. And she is currently completing another 500hr training in Yoga Therapy with Nikola Ellis of Adore Yoga. . The Livingroom is a magical space to practice in. The sound of the waves and the beauty of the sunrise and sunset over Coogee are breath-taking, but more importantly the teachers and students make the space even more special. The Livingroom attracts some of the kindest and most passionate teachers and students alike, and this makes it a wonderful place to practice or teach. Catch a class with Kitty Saturdays 8.30am, Sundays 8.30am, and Mondays 6am

16.01.2022 Karolina discovered yoga when she was in college. I remember my first class being extremely challenging as I couldnt do most asanas, but I also recall feeling very content, happy and alive afterward. Karolina knew back then, that this practice would be an essential part of her everyday life and she was right! . When Karolina first started yoga her practice was all about being able to execute the asanas (physical postures) and maintain mindful breathing, but with time the ...importance of yoga and the reason why she practiced had shifted. Today her yoga practice keeps her grounded and reminds her of the interconnectedness of all things. It keeps her accountable for her own integrity expressed through her everyday living. . Karandavasana is Karolinas favourite pose, as she has been challenged by it and working on it for some time now and she finds there is no time or space for switching off while attempting it. Full presence! . Karolina is 1000+hrs Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher, a mentor at the Jivamukti Teachers Apprenticeship Program, a certified Yin Yoga Teacher, and a Mysore Program Assistant under guidance of Eileen Hall. . I love the sweet and eclectic community that Im blessed to be a part of at The Livingroom. Not to mention the beautiful, rewarding ocean view! The medicinal sound of the ocean is the best Shavasana soundtrack I could ever ask for in my classes. . Catch a class with @muktigirl Monday 9.30am, Tuesday 5.30pm & 7pm, and Friday 9.30am @ Coogee, New South Wales See more

08.01.2022 ASANA~ The 3rd limb of the 8 limbs of Yoga This one we all know well... It’s what most Yogis & Yoginis in the west are most familiar with, and where most people usually start their Yoga journey (even though this is skipping the first two limbs!)... . ‘Asana’ literally translates to ‘seat’ or ‘sitting down’- much less complicated than most of the physical postures we practice today. . Traditionally our Asana practice is to prepare us for Pranayama, and the ability to si...t in stillness, comfortably. A physical purification and a way to become calm and steady . While the Asana practice can be amazing to heal, strengthen, and lengthen the body to create physical freedom, it really is only one small part of the practice of Yoga as a whole. To practice postures alone is not really to practice Yoga at all... . We look forward to sharing more on how you can develop and deepen your Yoga practice as we continue to explore the 8 limbs of Yoga See more

03.01.2022 The NIYAMAS are the second of the 8 limbs of yoga Often described as ‘inner observances’, or self- disciplines... .

While these have specific descriptions and purposes, each will mean a different thing to every individual depending on context. . The Niyamas are a great place to start some self-inquiry; to understand ourselves better and become aware of areas that might be beneficial to place some focus or discipline to help us live life with more ease and grace See more
