Yoga and me

Yoga is much more than a physical practise...at least for me. It is a way of life and a philosophy. It is practising kindness, mindfulness and humility. Yoga does not judge nor have an ego; it does not require that you wear a particular type of outfit or practise in a certain place. It is possible to take elements from the various forms of yoga and apply them to your life as you see fit; whether that be sitting on the floor with your legs out straight as you watch tv, instead of being in a chair or it might involve a walk as a form of meditation or practising an act of kindness that will benefit others.

There's nothing fancy or organised about my yoga; it is whatever I want it to be in that very moment. I stopped looking for the 'next goal' or more advanced poses, some time ago now. I keep it simple for the most part and that might involve nothing more than some gentle stretches and reminding myself that I am grateful to have the breath of life. That is enough for me on most days. I handstand infrequently and usually as a form of cardio...not interested in how long I am in the air, as long as I am having fun and practising good form.

This particular little session was just a series of moments and breaths that opened my heart and prepared me for what was to come later that morning and I could never have imagined the series of events that would unfold around. The very act of kindness that I mentioned earlier, would, quite by chance, allow me to be reminded of the fragility of life and the needs of others in their most vulnerable state.

If you take anything away from this or my description, I hope that it will be useful to you in your daily life and perhaps, you too might experience just a fraction of what I do.


Everyone is welcome here...it is a place, free from judgement and full of love and happiness. Stay a moment or for long enough to fall asleep but do not steal my jam sandwiches. Ask nicely and eat the crusts.

Thank you to those of you who have been immensely supportive and encouraging. Wherever you are, may your day be filled with peace and joy and maybe a jam sandwich or three.

WHAT NEXT?

As well as the stuff below, I am always coming up with nonsensical ideas and many of them never come to fruition but I take each day as it comes and am blessed if I wake up to see another sunrise.

1. There will be some yoga, that's today then..because several people asked for it to be so.
2. The bedroom saga will be continued, complete with tapping, scratching and a whole heap of whispers.
3. After that...hmmm. Possibly some leggings scratching and a sweet shirt creation.
4. More hiking?
5. How do you fancy some more feet? Pantyhose scratching?



I don't ask for donations or tips, just respect and kindness; they both cost nothing.
