The weekend will support you in integrating change, releasing the unnecessary, finding you own centre of calm. Includes morning Yoga, Meditations, 3 Day Detox & Nourishment plan, Ayurvedic recipes and more!

25.01.2022 Living Yoga - how the Eight Limbs of Yoga's ancient wisdom provides the tools to relieve our modern life stressors. Read blog here https://www.inspyayogatherapies.com//living-yoga-~-the-too "It's possible to live much of your life free from suffering, anxiety and uncertainty. You have the inner power to heal to your maximum potential, turn obstacles into opportunities, and move towards manifesting your fullest potential. You can experience deeper levels of joy, feel more... connected, grounded and whole. You have the capacity to free yourself from social conditioning, discover who you truly are, and live as much more liberated and self-expressed being." Bhava Ram It would be easy to dismiss this premise by Bhava if it weren't for his incredible story of overcoming a broken back, stage four cancer and failed western medicine (as he shares in detail in his memoir Warrior Pose) ~ if it weren't for the fact I wholeheartedly agree! I have been inspired by incredible Yoga Philosophy teachers in my trainings, to name a few Peter Clifford & Clive Salzer, and since then so many more Yogi mentors who truly walk the path of the Eight Limbs of Yoga. Over the coming weeks I'll share with you my understanding of each limb and how we can integrate them into modern life, how they can provide much relief from the challenges and stress we unnecessarily burden ourselves with. They are the Yogi's guidebook in taking Yoga off the mat and into every day life. #theeightlimbsofyoga #liferules #toolstosurviveandthrive #sufferingisoptional #everychallengeisanopportunity #yogalife #yogaoffthemat #yogaisnotjustthepose

21.01.2022 Did you know the Pranayama practice of ‘Ujjayi (oooh-ja-eee) Breath’ can both calm and enliven the body and mind, it means to gain mastery and is a most beneficial breath to deepen your meditative experience. It’s my go-to for a simple meditation. Try it ~ find a nice spot to just sit and breathe. To create the Ujjayi breath, one must constrict the back of the throat, similar to the constriction made when speaking in a whisper of a ‘haaaaaaah’ to fog up a window. In oth...er words, it's an audible breath, and it's often compared to the sound of the ocean (or affectionatelt known as Darth Vader breath). Although there is a constriction of the throat, the Ujjayi breath flows in and out through the nostrils, with the lips remaining gently closed. This breath is intended to be long, controlled, and smooth through the nostrils, whilst creating a vibrational sound it is so subtle it’s only audible to you and no other. Traditionally intended for meditation and restorative poses, rather than flow or intense postures because of it’s ability to reduce heart rate. If you want to give it a go join me online for a lesson on Ujjayi - click link in BIO for Monthly Membership, included content. https://app.namastream.com/

14.01.2022 Good morning Inspya Yogis. A little update message about Gypsy my co-host and Yogi sidekick. She has recently been diagnosed with Lymphoma/Leukemia and yesterday had a steep decline.

14.01.2022 My 3 tips on self-discipline for your home Yoga practice... click link in BIO for 3 Tips - https://www.inspyayogatherapies.com//my-3-tips-on-self-dis ~ You are not alone if you find it a challenge getting into a regular routine or discipline to practice your Yoga at home. In the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the 2nd limb is the Niyamas - I see the 5 x Yamas as the moral and ethical guidelines for how the yogi ideally acts in society and in relationship to others, and the 5 x Niyama...s as the same outline but for how the Yogi treats themself. These 5 observances are done in silence as a personal exploration of the inner body, mind and soul, never done for worldly praise for then they miss their mark. ~ One of the 5 Niyamas is 'Tapas', translated as 'generating heat to burn off impurities'. It's the fire inside that drives us to do what needs to be done, whilst having an acceptance that there are certain pains that lead to purification and honouring of Self. The essence of Tapas is a discipline that comes from a place of love for oneself....not a form of punishment. Sticking to something you set out to do - especially when it challenges your go-to habits - takes discipline. So many of our habits unfortunately are destructive, to achieve our goals we must be honest with ourselves, come from a place of absolute self-love and a willingness to grow and heal.

12.01.2022 Want to know how you could 'Retreat' yourself? and Why? ~ The meaning of ‘retreat’ is from the latin verb to pull back. To go on, or take a retreat provides an opportunity to withdraw from our usual daily habituals, from the world, to find a quiet secluded place to heal, nourish, reset, detox.to remember what's important. It’s about creating the space so we can let go of what’s not serving us, to release stress. Sometimes when we are amidst the busy it's difficult to se...e clearly and know what we need to adjust, nor have the time and energy to make the adjustment. It's a period of time to focus on your inner world instead of all attention on the outer world. ~ Before anything can expand it must contract, for me a retreat is a retraction from everything that draws on my energy, my attention, my time- so then I can be inspired, prepare for spaciousness and fill back up with what it is I need to expand and feel revitalised. Reconnecting with what is most important, that which aligns with me most. ~ Here I share with you my 3 Day Virtual Retreat - Detox & Destress. Ayurvedic principles and recipes for cleansing, Yoga, Meditation and journalling for releasing, detoxing and nourishing. ~ For details visit: https://app.namastream.com/#/inspya-me-yoga/product/19962 See more

09.01.2022 The 5th Yama, Aparigraha (non-possessiveness, non-attachment, non-grasping) releases our unnecessary sufferings. Read blog - https://www.inspyayogatherapies.com//living-yoga-the-pract ~ Greed and attachment is portrayed in our modern world as obesity, hoarding of clothes and material possessions, excessive aesthetic surgery and simply having excess of anything. Even the over-thinking of a project at work, constant worry about the future, what might or might not happen ~ t...hese acts are removing us from the present moment, from doing what it is we are doing right now whole-heartedly, immersed in an act of love without attachment to the outcome. We also place this attachment and grasping on our relationships to people and our pets. Have you ever wondered how one person can suffer loss in an unimaginable traumatic event, and yet rise up and become a beacon of light and inspiration for others..yet another can experience loss and the grief sets in and envelops their spirit evermore to go on living a lessor life because of this loss? The answer is in the practice of Aparigraha, non-attachment to the joy another brings to us, instead knowing that it exists within us always. To be grateful and unattached to what was requires allowance and acceptance. ~ Becoming attached to a positive feeling or experience is completely human, why wouldn’t we want to feel happy for as long as we can? But do we really let ourselves fully have that experience or do we cling to it, willing everything to stay just as it is in that moment? Change is the only constant thing we can expect in life. Our physical bodies are undergoing change every day yet so many, not only women, ‘cling’ to beauty, to youth, even though we know ageing is inevitable. ~ #eightlimbsofyogapath #the5yamas #aparigraha #knowinggratitudeineverymoment #nonattachmenttoemotions #feelingsletthemcomeletthemgo #emotionsarelikewaves #experiencelifefully #notallsufferingisnecessary See more

05.01.2022 Weekend wind down tip; Find some negative ions to draw in! Think mountains, waterfalls, forests and beaches ~ Researchers looked at 100 years of studies and found evidence that negative ions; - help regulate sleep patterns and mood... - reduce stress - boost immune system function - increase metabolism of carbs and fats - kill or inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, viruses, and mould species . Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy. Can you find some this weekend to breathe in?

04.01.2022 HELP Online Yogis - how do you find the drop down menu for 'Class Type'' categories, ie when searching for a class to suit you in the online library content? Do the Class Type / Style names help you find what you are looking for, or find it confusing? I WOULD LOVE SUGGESTIONS in comments if you have any. Some of my recorded classes cross-over into a few styles so would love to know how it works for you.

03.01.2022 THURSDAY POSE OF THE WEEK ~ Pascimottanasana 'Stretch of the West (or back body)' Firstly I must point out I have monkey length arms so this placement of hands may not be anatomically possible .... but makes for a pretty picture right?! ~... The purpose of this Asana is to lengthen from the soles of the feet, achilles, calves, hamstrings, glutes, spinal muscles to forehead. It's a restorative pose (for most made this way by using props for more comfort), introverts the mind and prepares us for Savasana/Meditation, stimulates digestion, lowers the heart rate, calms nervous system and adrenals. ~ Find a resting place here, perhaps with support suggested below, close your eyes, breathe in and out of the nose, go within. Let the breath take you into the pose rather than force. Stay for a while, 3-5mins and give the tendons, ligaments and fascia the patience of allowing the shape, give the nervous system the time to restore. ~ Cautions, modifications + props; - Use a strap around balls of feet to open chest and spine lengthened lifting up out of the pelvis at the initial stages of folding forward, also great if mid back (thoracic) is over-rounding. - Relax shoulders/prevent shrugging/resist pulling forward with force/arm strength. - Keep knees bent to allow hamstrings to release the sit bones to glide back and pelvis to roll forward (avoids straining/excess rounding of lumbar) - Place folded blanket under the sitting bones so the focus is on the sitting bones moving back and wider so the hip crease deepens rather than lumbar rounding. - If acute lumbar conditions lay on back for single leg in strap hamstring stretch instead to avoid lumbar flexion entirely - Place a bolster across knees or along legs to rest weight of forehead so spinal cord relaxes - Place a chair over legs and rest hands under forehead to completely relax spinal cord and back body. - Place rolled hand towels behind knees to help engage quads without locking knees into extension to protect lower back from over-flexing - Resist hyperextending knees and letting heels lift off floor. If belly is on thighs and legs are able to be straight lift on knee caps but press down on heels. See more

02.01.2022 The joy of adopting a beginners mindset ...could we be missing out if we're the expert? ~ So many times (and more often than not with incredible resistance or forced by injury!) I have stepped back into a beginner's mode with my Yoga practice. It has given me opportunity to learn more about my body, my injuries and how they wish to heal, even just to slow down and have less expectation has been so rewarding. In fact it is the reason my core is so strong because I return to ...the simple, fine tuning practices over and over again. In fact I owe it all to the first 2 months of my Teacher Training (2004) where we barely got up off the floor - it near drove me made, clearly I had no zen mindset back then, BUT I owe this time to the strong foundations I work with today.

Join me this Friday 9.30am for 'Tadasana' or 'Mountain Pose' our standing posture as we explore all the postural habits, how to correct, what to strengthen and where to stretch for your particular body type. It's the foundation of all standing Yoga poses so it makes sense to get this one understood and modified for you first. Go to 'Events' to join me live stream. It will be in your Asana Focus library thereafter to try if you can't make it. https://app.namastream.com/
