When we think of the word yoga, we often think (and experience) it as purely physical movement. In Hatha yoga, asana is described as only the first step. In the yoga sutras, it’s the third of eight limbs of yoga (ashtanga) - following the ‘moral guidelines’ and before breath and meditation.

“Prior to everything, asana is spoken of as the first part of hatha yoga. Having done asana one gets steadiness (firmness) of the body and mind; diseaselessness and lightness (flexibility) of the limbs.” - Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Whilst the physical practice (asana) of yoga can be a wonderful (and valid) practice on its own. When we control the body, we can control the mind. When we release energy, we can find softness in mind and body. The physical postures given to us in yoga, are a wonderful tool to navigate practice and life. Yoga provides us the opportunity to sit and breathe (on and off the mat) through discomfort.

Join me every Tuesday 9:30am at @the.dharma.house.yoga for a grounding Hatha yoga practice (asana + pranayama + meditation) - exploring further aspects of mudra, bandha, drishti, kriya, & mantra).

Kirtan kriya (or ‘sa ta na ma meditation’) is a 12 minute mantra meditation using vocal and silent sounds, with the inclusion of mudra and visualisation.

The placement of tongue during the mantra stimulates pressure points in the mouth. Whereas the finger connection enhances blood flow in the motor-sensory part of the brain. 👌🏽🤌🏽

Some studies have suggested this could improve cognition and be beneficial to memory, potentially being beneficial to those with neurodegenerative disease (such as Alzheimer’s). 🧠

Join me at the @the.dharma.house.yoga tomorrow afternoon (Sunday 20th) to practice this powerful meditation after a whole hour of yin bliss. *only a few spots left, booking essential. taken in The Dharma House Yoga by @rachyog.a

Take a deep inhale, and as you exhale, send with the breath, anything that you wish to leave in this year.
☁️ Inhale, feel the breath travel through the body, mind, and soul. And invite with this breath, all the lessons learnt from this year. Invite in all the beautiful moments. Explore all the small and silly moments that filled you with gratitude. And the fact that some of the most delightful moments are yet to happen.
☁️ Exhale to let go of the year.

Join me for my last 2024 yoga and meditation. A soft and nurturing practice filled with warmth and gratitude.

🌞 Join me at @the.dharma.house.yoga on Sunday 15th at 8am for another Surya Namaskara (sun salutation) practice.

We will begin with a discussion around the elements of Surya Namaskar, before moving into a joints warmup (Pawanmuktasana I). We will then take a round of Surya Namaskar-workshopping alignment, breath, variation, and the integration of mudra, bandha, mantra and Sanskrit. Together, we will move through 9x rounds of the 12 postures of the lunging sun salutations, finishing in rest where I will guide you through a Pranayama practice and Jhana Surya Kriya (sun meditation).

〰️

Whether one, nine or 108 rounds, Surya Namaskar is an uplifting and energising ritual to incorporate into daily life.

Bookings via Mindbody 🌞 see you on the mat 🕉️ taken in The Dharma House Yoga by @rachyog.a
