Yoga Nidra is translated to Yogic Sleep. In nidra, the mind is not unconscious as it is while sleeping, but it connects us to our subconscious mind which holds our many impressions, experiences, and knowledge, it’s a place that we are not able to reside in during our usual waking state.

So What is Yin?
Yin Yoga is a modern style of yoga which is informed by traditional Chinese medicine.
It can be confusing…
The term ‘Yin’ alone refers to the opposition of ‘Yang’: Yin being the more soft, soothing, feminine and Yang as the more dynamic, active, masculine aspects of being. However, Yin Yoga is a specific style of yoga which incorporates its own meaning. This becomes apparent when considering a Restorative Yoga class which is working with the Yin aspects of being yet is different to Yin Yoga.

Sitting in the eye of the storm
“I want to feel centered & grounded.” This is something I hear a lot from people, and also with myself.
What does that mean to you?
For me it makes me think about how I’m showing up amidst the turbulence of my life, and applying the ongoing practice of remaining steady, strong & calm with what is happening - neither trying to fight it or escape it, but being with it without being it!

Following The Path Of Selfless Service
Karma Yoga can be interpreted as that which supports the welfare of everyone, by acting in a way that is beneficial to the entirety of all things. It follows a basic law of understanding nature with appreciation at its forefront. Knowing that the world around us and everything in it is inextricably linked. Not one thing can exist unaffected by another.
