How yoga and vipassana have taught me to enjoy things I’m not so ‘good’ at

How yoga and vipassana have taught me to enjoy things I’m not so ‘good’ at

One of the things I love about yoga as a philosophy, is that there is no competition, judging, or clawing your way with force to reach higher and higher levels — at least in theory! I also love that being labelled ‘good’ at yoga is something only you as the practitioner can judge for yourself. I […]

5 of the best pieces of restorative yoga equipment to enhance your practice

I practised yoga alone for years, happy with just me, my mat and my practice. At this time I mainly practiced Sivananda and Ashtanga yoga where  additional props aren’t really used. However, when I started to incorporate Yin and also restorative yoga into my practice, and especially during my pregnancy, I started to incorporate yoga […]

Are we missing the point of yoga and meditation?

November 23, 2016 by Clare

Are we missing the point of yoga and meditation?

In western culture, we often need a goal or a concrete reason to do something, so often when you see yoga or meditation workshops advertised, there will be some solid benefits included like reducing stress, becoming fitter, sleeping better… I even have some benefits listed to advertise my own yoga sessions. Is it, however, misleading […]

This is how I’m learning to love anatomy & physiology

September 2, 2016 by Clare

This is how I’m learning to love anatomy & physiology

When I’m being taught yoga, I love it when a teacher succinctly describes why we’re focusing on a particular part of our bodies. For example, rather than saying, we’re strengthening the soleus muscle, they instead would say why this is important, or give a quick benefit that’s easy to relate to. The muscle of the […]

7 partner yoga photos from my yoga TTC in Rishikesh
