Life and yoga
Life would not be complete if we did not eat, drink, study, do physical activities, have fun, socialise… The same can be said of yoga–to be complete we must incorporate all aspects of ourselves. We begin where we are and how we are and whatever happens happens. There are many ways of practising yoga asanas, meditation, pranayama, studying…It does not matter which you start with. Life is a journey...

Follow your heart
Part of the speech Steve Jobs gave at Stamford University in 2005. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering...

Meditation
There are many ways of practising yoga asanas, meditating, pranayama, studying… It does not matter which you start with. To be complete we must incorporate all aspects of ourselves. Many people don’t practice meditation for various reasons; too boring, not enough time, your mind is constantly ‘on’, you cannot sit on the floor…so why not make it really easy! One minute is...

Anonymous asked: Hi! I'd like to ask you when you first became interested in yoga and what made you decide to become a teacher. What kind of training did you have to go through and how long did it take you? I know it is a lot of questions and sorry if they are very personal. Don't feel like you have to answer if you don't want to. In any case: thank you!

Stand still - leave the noise…
Do you ever wonder where your day has gone and does it feel like it’s been a productive / useful day, did you enjoy it? For most of us, the day races away, we don’t have a chance to stop and watch it go by or do we? We are surrounded by so much ‘noise’, which I call ‘clutter’ these days; websites, emails, twitter, FaceBook, news, game shows, podcasts,...

"I don't have time"
How many times do you say that or hear that expression from someone? Very regularly I think, probably at least once a week if not more. We wake up and for many of us we check our emails, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, blogs, switch the TV on etc. Nearly everything we do revolves around information of one kind or another and consuming it. Also our work life has changed hugely. We tend to work longer,...

Gym pass not required - walk!
I walk just over 4km nearly everyday around Watermead Country Park. I used to run a lot and swim about five days a week a long time ago. I stopped it because it was very demanding and I did not really enjoy it. The only reason I did it was because I was ‘told’, that it was good for you. My health would improve etc. I’m not really sure that it did. What has been good for me is a...

Do you breathe?
Do you ever think about your breath and how you breathe? Breathing is the most important thing we do, yet we don’t spend enough time to improve it. You might say there is nothing wrong with your breathing and in one way you would be right. What if I said improving your breathing could do the following: Reduce stress levels Feel like you’ve been on holiday Sleep better Get along...
