YOGA has gained popularity worldwide, but along with its growth, several myths have emerged.
Here are some common misconceptions about yoga along with their debunking:
In the fast-paced, stress-filled world we live in, the quest for a good night's sleep has become a universal challenge. As sleep-related issues, particularly insomnia, continue to affect a significant portion of the global population, individuals are increasingly turning to holistic and natural approaches to address their sleep concerns. One such approach that has garnered significant attention is the use of meditation as a tool for improving sleep quality and alleviating insomnia. In this article, we will explore the growing interest in meditation for sleep, examining its principles, techniques, and the scientific evidence supporting its efficacy.
Meditation is a personal practice that can take many forms, and there are numerous tips and tricks to enhance your experience.
Yin yoga can be a beneficial practice for athletes as it complements more dynamic forms of exercise by targeting the connective tissues in the body, such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia. It involves holding poses for an extended period, typically 3 to 5 minutes or longer, which allows for a deep stretch and stimulates the flow of energy (chi or prana) through the body.
In the dynamic world of sports and athletics, where strength, speed, and endurance often take the spotlight, there's a quiet yet powerful practice making waves—Yin Yoga. While more traditional forms of exercise focus on building muscle and improving cardiovascular fitness, Yin Yoga offers a unique approach that can be a game-changer for athletes. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of Yin Yoga and delve into why incorporating this practice into an athlete's routine can lead to enhanced performance, improved recovery, and overall well-being.
"Mindfulness: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace" is a transformative guide written by Mark Williams and Danny Penman. This book, rooted in the principles of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), provides a structured eight-week program aimed at helping individuals cultivate mindfulness to alleviate stress, manage emotions, and find peace in their lives.
In a fast-paced world where stress and sedentary lifestyles have become the norm, the quest for holistic well-being has gained significant importance.
Yoga, an ancient practice originating from India, has emerged as a powerful tool for achieving physical, mental, and emotional balance. Beyond its popular portrayal as a physical exercise, yoga encompasses a rich philosophy that integrates breath control, meditation, and various postures. Through breath control, mediation and various postures it offers many benefits to our overall health.
Before we begin, we have to define what mindfulness actually is. I like the explanation from the book “The Neuroscience of Mindfulness” by Dr Stan Rodski, he explains, that “once upon a time we used words like relaxation, hypnosis, meditation, yoga . . . Well, mindfulness is a relatively new term that’s plucked out of what is the essential aspect of all of them
The Yin Yoga practice offers benefits to the physical body, our minds and the subtle energy. The practice has grown in popularity over the last five years. What’s all the hype about? Why is Yin Yoga something i should at least try once? What are the specific benefits?
When comparing yang versus yin styles of yoga the practice are relative opposites.
YIN YOGA is more passive in nature, introspective and a relatively still practice.
Yang styles of yoga are more dynamic, moving in and out of one posture to another. Working and engaging the muscles.
With the increase of online yoga in the last few months, I’ve heard many of my friends and students say I miss seeing you and talking to you before and after a yoga class. The face to face is missing right now during these unprecedented times, but will eventually return.
When we connect with someone in person, face to face, no one will argue the connection is better than online. But there are ways we can still create a sense of connection and community virtually and in the online yoga world.

“Your goal is not to battle with the mind, but to witness the mind.” Swami Muktananda
I love this quote which I think explains the practice of meditation in a simple way. Well it describes what is supposed to happen when we meditate. As we aren’t supposed to try to control or fight a thought, feeling or emotion that may come up, while we sit quietly and breathe. We are supposed to just witness what arises and refocus the mind to our breathing. This practice is meditation.
