Innocent asana

Postures (asana) are innocent,  its about your belief and attitude towards them?

My yoga teacher said that statement in class yesterday
and.......
it hit me RIGHT on my third eye!

I mean, sure its not like I don't know that..... i mean those who know me will agree that I'm kinda deep ;)  but man have I been in self judgment critical stupor with my face again the wall in my practise of late. 

The metaphor for this statement lies in my seemingly trusty old yoga mat. 

Its demanding, wont let me get a new one, its attached to me and it doesn't give me the support I really need under my feet anymore, its  falling apart! (ok that's really me)  :/


Time for a new thought form? time to let go? time to detach and observe? time to support my own individual I AM needs as part of the whole? time to pull it all together? uuugghhhh....

I'm not going to lie, yoga is my NEMESIS. 

it antagonises me, sometimes injures me, can be my undoing, challenges me, has been my downfall and failure, is part of my destiny.  lets just say it.....That goddess Nemesis was a real bitch!

OK, so when I'm in homeostasis, breath, observation, non judgement in no-time space, being soft, it feeds me, nourishes me, grounds me, balances me, is my joy and my inner personal success, lets just say it....... thank you Goddess Nemesis for holding the contrast! 

SO then..... what to do what that old outdated critical judgement (along with my worn out yoga mat) ?

Damn..... 

I'm going to make myself a pair of these beauties from my OLD OUTDATED YOGA MAT....and if you know me, you'll know I just L.O.V.E a pair of thongs, I love to free my feet, because these feet were made for walking! :D

 And as for me? well.....time to repurpose and reinvent myself from a very new vantage point :)

Yoga and Raw Food Detox Day at Yoga Tree

a day with Chris Dwyer and Renee McCready

Bookings can be made online at Try Bookings

Chris focuses primarily on the physical aspects of asana. When the body is allowed to feel the correct foundation in each asana, it gives us the opportunity to explore it further. The activation of the correct muscle groups, in the correct sequence allows for even deeper access into the postures. Once we discover our innate physical strength, it can have the profound effect of breaking down our old emotional patterns and kinks. 

Renée's believes that yoga is a living process that changes moment by moment. Her focus is from an oriental perspective, creating a present safe space to use the breath as an anchor to move through postures or shapes and explore you own innate body intelligence and knowledge on all levels. Feeling inside your body and undoing, softening, allowing your body to become the teacher, creating freedom to then pull together in a different way. Renée also brings Raw plant based living foods into the mix, then off the mat into everyday life. 

All levels are welcome.

Together, let Chris and Renee guide you on a journey through Power Yoga, Ki flow Yoga, Meditation, Shiatsu and Partner Yoga, while enjoying a selection of raw food to energise, cleanse and renew your practice, your mind and your body.
