EASTER RETREAT WRAP UP // A beautiful weekend, warm with both the weather and hearts 🧡 Retreats offer a space in our lives where we can slow down and use the yoga practices and wisdom to get some clarity about what is important to us in this life. This is vital to do from time to time, this resetting of our life’s compass. But then, how to integrate it into our daily life once the retreat is over? We talked about taking smalls steps. One little realistic change or adjustment at a time. Then the next … let the small changes transform into our normal habits or ways of being so it’s natural and ongoing. Taking the time to bring what’s important to us to the forefront of our mind, to make our intentions clear, not lost anymore in life’s busyness, then informs the decisions and choices we make in our daily life. In this way we naturally move toward those intentions becoming our lived reality. Big Thanks to: Our chef, Antonia @tonki.joss - it was all so delicious! And to the team at @continentalhousehepburn for the welcoming venue and the sublime relaxation treatments. We’ve booked again for Easter 2025! 🙏🏼 Yoga in Daily Life Melbourne www.melbourne.yogaindailylife.org.au #yogaindailylife #yogaindailylifemelbourne #yogaindailyliferetreats #yogaretreats #easteryogaretreat #yoga #meditation #yoganidra #hepburnsprings #yogavictoria #melbourneyoga #yogacommunity #veganlife #timeout #lifepurpose #intention #satsang #reflection #relaxation

THANK YOU 🙏🏼 // We are on a holiday break. Classes resumed from Monday 8 January 2024. It is with joy and gratitude that we look back on the year that was. When reflecting on what life has taught us this year, consciously gather those valuable new understandings and wisdom and carry them into the New Year. The ability to learn from what happens in life is transformational, it adds more depth, richness, and creativity to your authentic You. We are thankful that Yoga in Daily Life is an authentic and holistic practice of this ancient science of life. We are thankful to share it, because through sharing we keep practicing ourselves and we get to connect with awesome people - that’s you! We are thankful for you! For you having the courage and discipline to show up and to keep practicing too (however that practice looks for you). Gratitude and sharing bring a heartfelt fullness to our human experience. Whatever you are celebrating from your culture or tradition this season, and for the New Year 2024 we wish for you peace, love and light 🙏 #yogaindailylife #yogaindailylifemelbourne #authenticyoga #melbourneyoga #yogacommunity #joy #gratitude #transformational #newyear2024 #thanksforyoursupport

LIVING WITH HEART 🩵 // With so much going on both globally and locally, blocking and shutting down our heart energy can be a way to help us cope. Though … the yogic path encourages and gives tools to help us open up and awaken. This is what we practiced together at our recent Urban Retreat on Cup Day. We also recognised that we can live open heartedly for as long as we have the capacity to do so, and then take space and utilise our yoga techniques to recharge and nourish ourselves, just like joining this retreat 😁. Living open heartedly means keeping our own peace. It also opens us to living a more fulfilled life. As part of our retreat we reflected on the Anāhata Chakra (pictured). It’s lotus 🪷 flower symbol has 12 petals representing 12 qualities of the heart: 🪷joy 🪷 peace 🪷 kindness 🪷 patience 🪷 love 🪷 harmony 🪷 clarity 🪷 compassion 🪷 purity 🪷 understanding 🪷 forgiveness 🪷 bliss. 🙏🏼🩵🪷 Yoga in Daily Life Melbourne 📸 & information credit to @vishwaguruji_official book “Hidden Powers in Humans - Chakras and Kundalini” that you can purchase from your local YIDL centre. #yogaindailylife #yogaindailylifemelbourne #chakrasandkundalini #hiddenpowerinhumans #yogaretreat #urbanyogaretreat #yogamelbourne #yogaworkshopmelbourne #yoga #meditation #yoganidra #chakras #satsang #yogacommunitymelbourne

REINCARNATION FOLLOW UP // The “Reincarnation & the Art of Living and Dying” Yoga Workshop on Saturday was great. Firstly, it was great to explore this topic which gets very little consideration in our culture, yet it is integral to our life. Swami Gopal began with some history and view points from different spiritual traditions. He continued with teachings from the yogic tradition, namely what’s taught in the Bhagavad Gita, Patanjalis Yoga Sutras and from our Yoga in Daily Life linage, Vishwaguruji. In the Yogic tradition it is said that the Self moves from body to body. The Self enlivens the body and mind. It is the same in everyone. What makes us different… There was a lot here and I cannot put it into this little post! We were invited to: • look deeper at what we do and think and feel • contemplate on each inner experience, and inquire where does it come from • look at what drives / propels us in this life, the unconscious drive, and bring it to the conscious light • consider each moment and each day like a new incarnation of ourselves, as how we are is always changing and what are we going to do from there … There was so much more. Join us next time. 🙏🏼Yoga in Daily Life Melbourne #yogaindailylife #yogaindailylifemelbourne #yogaworkshopmelbourne #melbourneyoga #reincarnation #death #life #karma #vishwaguruji #paramhansswamimaheshwarananda #yogaworkshop #yogawisdom #bhagavadgita #patanjali #yogasutras #parampara #yidl
YOGA WORKSHOP // Richmond + Online Saturday 14 October 1 - 4pm $60. Book via the link in our bio. REINCARNATION & the Art of Living and Dying: Yoga Workshop Facilitated by Swami Gopal Life is an unpredictable journey for all of us with death being the ultimate unknown . In this modern 21st century world, we are witnessing a growing carelessness about the phenomenon of death, as well as a deep spiritual ignorance about its meaning. Some sees death as an ending and others as a beginning. For some it is a tragedy, a loss from which they may never recover. For others, death is a transformation, an opportunity to make a change in their life for the better. In this workshop, we will explore the Yogic perspective of life, death, afterlife, law of Karma and reincarnation. The workshop will include: ☀️ Reincarnation, more than just a theory ☀️ The meaning & types of Karma ☀️ How to eliminate Karma ☀️ How Karma relates to Reincarnation ☀️ Reincarnation – entering the flesh again in an interconnected cycle of existence ☀️ How to prepare for one of life’s greatest passages ☀️ Yoga & Meditation focus class 🙏🏼 Yoga in Daily Life Melbourne #yogaindailylife #yogaindailylifemelbourne #reincarnation #living #dying #yoga #meditation #yogasutras #bhagavadgita #yogicliving #yogalife #yogawisdom #onlineyogaworkshop #yogaworkshop #yogaworkshopmelbourne #afterlife #afterdeath

Meditation Tips // As we relax in meditation it can be easy, especially if we’re tired, to drop off to sleep. Here are some tips to help stay awake and aware. 🧘♀️ Be comfortable but not cosy. Be warm enough that you are not shivering but not too warm that you are toasty and on your way to 💤 🧘 Let your in breath be cool. 🧘🏿♂️ On this same point, fresh air in the space you are practicing will also help. 🧘♀️ Consider your sitting position. Is it a bit too cosy? Are you leaning against something? Is it time to start practicing to sit up straight unsupported by a wall or the back of a chair / lounge? A straight upward spine supports the mind to be awake and aware. Ask your teacher about finding your meditation pose. 🧘 Another tip is to place the tongue to rest behind the top front teeth. 🧘🏿♂️ And / or delicately turn your inner gaze slightly upward toward the eyebrow centre. ☀️ Have soft light in the space, not completely dark. Hope it helps & please share any other tips in the comments. Our next online meditation course is focusing on the Chakras 🌀and starts 20 August.

MANAGING CHRONIC CONDITIONS // Free Zoom event series: Real life stories from our yoga students about the life changing benefits of yoga. Last Saturday we had our IDY first curtain raiser online event was very well received with 60 attendees Zooming in to listen! It was a great discussion with some Yoga in Daily Life practitioners who shared their valuable experience on how their Yoga in Daily Life practice helps them manage chronic conditions. Four participants shared their experience with cancer and its treatments, three participants with 'type A' diabetes, two participants with chronic back pain (one being due to a severe injury), and one with Bells Palsy. We also heard a valuable testimony from a group carer on how Yoga in Daily Life helps people with severe impairments (at the same time being blind, deaf, and with limited cognitive capacities) to find peace and experience happiness. In summary, the panelists highlighted that yoga helped them not only mitigate the symptoms but to accept the condition in the first place and to keep their peace of mind. Through this peace of mind they were able to navigate the treatment and manage the mixed responses of the diagnoses both for themselves and the people around from a more calm centre. They experienced that yoga helped them realise how with or without the condition they are still the same person, and the condition is not what defines them. We are all so grateful to the panelists who shared their gained wisdom so generously and openly. Attendees commented that it was a "wonderful session" and "great discussion". We look forward to the next 2 discussions! Saturdays 2pm June 10 - Healthy Aging with Yoga in Daily Life June 17 - Mental Wellbeing & Resilience with Yoga in Daily Life FREE Register via link in bio.

To be born a human is so rare. As we take time in our lives to slow down, relax, be silent, we see more clearly and honestly the way we function in our life. Yoga teaches us to inquire: * Is this really who I am? * Am I expressing my human qualities? * Who am I when my heart is open? * What is the truth of who I am and am I living according to that? The answers may change as we learn and unfold, so keep inquiring. 🙏🏼 Yoga in Daily Life Melbourne Classes online & in Richmond, Pascoe Vale, Balwyn North & Ivanhoe.

EASTER FOLLOW UP // We entered a sacred pause over the Easter long weekend to give ourselves what we needed for our wellbeing and inner growth. We gathered Friday afternoon, made our intentions for the weekend and sealed it with a cacao ceremony. The weekend encompassed our Yoga in Daily Life practices every day plus … On Saturday we slowed down, were more quiet and reflective, practiced receiving, experienced the blissful Turkish Hammam or massage, rested beside the fire and all things relaxing. Sunday we explored the local area, went bushwalking and enjoyed conversation and connection. Monday came to fast! Good news is that we’ve booked again for Easter 2024! In our latest blog we share some inspiration from our retreat.

A WEEKEND WITH SWAMI UMAPURI // A late 😬 follow up report from our wonderful 😁 long weekend with international guest yogi @swami_umapuri 10 -13 March 2023. Swami Umapuri shared her wisdom, yoga techniques, yoga teachings and joyful energy via 🙏🏼 Satsang 🙏🏼 Chakra Workshops 🙏🏼 Urban Yoga Retreat The feedback from participants was that they appreciated both learning and experiencing in a meaningful way. That the practices were both simple and at the same time deeply felt. It was great to learn new things and to see what we knew from a different view. Here are two pearls of wisdom to share with you… ☀️ Don’t trust your mind; It’s like the moon, always changing, it’s never satisfied ☀️ The hardest practice we can do is to always have a stable mind. Control the mind, don’t let it control you. This is tapasya. ☀️ We look forward to having Swami Umapuri with us again someday. 🙏🏼Yoga in Daily Life Melbourne www.melbourne.yogaindailylife.org.au #yogaindailylife #yogatraining #alwayslearningalwaysgrowing #yogaindailylifemelbourne #melbourneyoga #melbourneyogateacher #chakras #yogaretreat #yogaworkshop #satsang #yoga #meditation #yogalife

EASTER YOGA RETREAT // Our annual Easter Yoga Retreat in Hepburn Springs is 7 - 10 April. If you’ve ever wondered about joining one of our retreats here is feedback from a participant who attended a retreat with us at the same venue last year. Find more information about the retreat on our website. The link is in the bio. “” I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Self-Care & Well Being Yoga Retreat at Hepburn Springs. The venue Continental House was beautiful and warm the entire weekend I am sure the two cozy fire places had something to do with that. The entire weekend was “Nourishment for the Mind, Body & Soul”. Fantastic Yoga, Self-care and Wellness sessions were truly uplifting, invigorating and a great feeling of connectedness with the group was felt by all. The meals were sensational. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this opportunity to my attention. My recommendation to anyone contemplating attending any retreat with Yoga in Daily Life, is “Don’t think about it, just do it”. Again thank you.

HAPPY FEET 👣 // Recently in a class we gave extra focus to our feet in different asanas. This generated a question that grew into sharing that everyone benefited from! Feet are our foundation. The human foot is an incredibly complex structure containing 28 bones, 33 muscles, 31 joints and over 100 ligaments! Practicing asanas in bare feet helps to keep the nerve sensors of our skin turned on, improving our proprioception (our sense of where our body parts are in space), which is important for moving in a balanced way (ie not falling). Our Yoga in Daily Life practice moves toe, foot, and ankle joints through their healthy range of motion. The asanas / poses encourage: • both flexibility and strength, • good circulation of blood and lymph fluid in and out of the feet, • the muscles to activate and lift the arches thereby helping to counteract flat feet and bunions. Mindfulness and tuning in to the more subtle sensations that are arising in the feet, provides us with the opportunity to recognise when things start to feel out of balance in our feet. This is highlighted when we do standing balances. Yoga can help develop balanced alignment in the feet, which pays off with better alignment throughout the whole body. Yoga in Daily Life has asanas that specifically focus on the feet from the level 1 foot and toe exercises to our favourite (not really) level 3 Virasana aka toe torturing 😆 (pictured) and more. Talk with your teacher next time you’re in class to learn and experience more. 🙏🏼 Yoga in Daily Life Melbourne Online | Richmond | Ivanhoe | Balwyn North | Pascoe Vale | Retreats www.melbourne.yogaindailylife.org.au #yogaindailylife #yogaindailylifemelbourne #virasana #yogaforfeet #feetyoga #melbourneyoga #onlineyoga #holistichealth #balance #strengthandflexibility #happyfeet #foundation #yogainspiration #yoga #yogacommunity #learningtogether #yogalove #yogajourney

INSPIRATION // From Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprabhuji’s Golden Teachings: “Do not just take, also learn to give. Constant taking creates a serious burden which is only unloaded by the act of giving.” #yogaindailylife #yogaindailylifemelbourne #yogainspiration #yogaquotes #spirituallife #giving #yogalife #srimahaprabhuji #instaquotes #blessed #yoga #mahaprabhujigoldenteachings
Today and this year I am grateful for ... As we come to that time of year where we naturally reflect on what was, we start to seek closure on our challenges, to put some things behind us, and set our goals and wish list for how we want our next year to pan out, be different or be ‘better’. I don't know why, but generally most of us do not give enough reflection on and celebration to our progress and achievements, big and small. The big events in life stand out, but it is the small everyday things that create the groundwork for them. Experiencing and expressing gratitude is an important part of any spiritual practice. So as we head toward the end of 2022, and you are reflecting on the year that was, give equal (if not more) focus and gratitude to that which made your heart sing, your inner glow shine brightly and your mind expand with curiosity and wonder ... 🌟 We wish for you more of that in 2023. Merry Everything and Happy Always to you! THANK YOU for your ongoing support and we look forward to a wonderful New Year of Yoga with you. We already have new classes, retreats and guest yogis planned! In peace, Your Yoga in Daily Life Team #yogaindailylife #yogaindailylifemelbourne #melbourneyoga #baliyogaretreat #easteryogaretreat #yogaretreats #onlineyoga #richmondyoga #doncasteryoga #ivanhoeyoga #balwynnorthyoga #pascoevaleyoga #gratitude #thankful #yogacommunity #bye2022 #hello2023 #yogalife
CHIA BREAKFAST PUDDING // A yogic diet is a plant based whole foods diet. Foods that are unprocessed (or minimally processed) and fresh. These kinds of foods carry the highest nutritional value and are ‘pranically charged’ meaning they have energy that passes to us. This diet is not only healthy, it supports our mental state in such a way to assist the development and deepening of our meditation practice. This chia breakfast pudding is a favourite at our retreats. This photo is my breakfast today 😋 The antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids in chia seeds are said to promote heart and joint health, support strong bones, improve blood sugar management and aid memory. The base: ¼ cup chia seeds 1 cup plant based milk. Almond + coconut milk or hazelnut milk Mix together* and leave overnight in the fridge to set. Extra flavour and sweetness: ½ tsp vanilla essence ¼ tsp cardamom powder 1 tbsp maple syrup. If the milk is already sweetened you may choose to omit this. Add these to the base when *mixing together. Serve with what you like, here are some suggestions: 🥭 fresh fruit 🌰 toasted nuts and seeds 🥥 coconut yogurt This recipe is 1 large serving or 2 smaller. It depends on how much extra fruits etc you add to it and how hungry you are 😁 🙏🏼 Yoga in Daily Life Melbourne www.melbourne.yogaindailylife.org.au #yogaindailylife #yogaindailylifemelbourne #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #yogiclife #yogicdiet #ahimsa #prana #chiapudding #summerbreakfast #healthybreakfast #wholefoods #veganrecipes #melbourneyoga #meditation #yogiclifestyle #peace #harmony #nonviolence #balance #wellbeing

ACCEPT OURSELVES AS WE ARE // Today we explored the theme of “make space for grace” at our Urban Yoga Retreat. One of the reflection points was to accept ourselves as we are. In the practice we were offered to choose for ourselves which backbend we would like to do, that backbend which would suit us at that moment. Our group varied in experience, physical needs, styles of yoga practiced and reasons for practicing yoga. As each person chose their backbend the diversity in the group was very apparent. (sorry, too immersed in the experience for a photo) How can we compare ourselves to others when we are all so different?! In this way we refocused our mind to be accepting of ourselves as we are. Diversity is so amazing to help support us in this realisation. Keep being your beautiful authentic selves 🧡 🙏🏼 Yoga in Daily Life Melbourne www.melbourne.yogaindailylife.org.au #yogaindailylife #yogaindailylifemelbourne #diversityisbeautiful #acceptingmyself #bemyauthenticself #authenticself #iamwhoiam #melbourneyoga #urbanyoga #melbourneyogaretreats #melbournecommunity #yogacommunity #yoga #meditation #yoganidra #vegandelights #wellbeing #makingspaceforgrace #grace #practiceandalliscoming
WHY WE 🧡 LEVEL 1 of YOGA IN DAILY LIFE // This level is known as “Sarva Hita Asanas” which means good for everyone because these exercises are of benefit to most people and all parts of the body. It is a foundation level that stretches and strengthens muscles, improves joint integrity and brings body balance to the posture. Level 1 works the whole body in a balanced way. It’s simple. The poses and movements are simple, so if you have a sore back, knees, wrists or something you can probably still do it or easily modify. There is also a great range to make the practices easier or more challenging according to your needs. It also helps to to reduce stress, balance our energy, boost digestion, support the immune system and to relax and focus the mind to bring the experience of peace. You can join a level 1 class online, in Richmond, Doncaster, Ivanhoe or Pascoe Vale.

HAPPY DEEPAWALI 🪔// It is the festival of light🪔 In our yoga practice we are aiming to remove all that hides the light of the Self within us. Therefore today we are reminded to connect with our inner light and bring positive energy into the world for the benefit of all.

THE MONK & THE SNAKE STORY // On Mondays 7 - 8:30pm in Richmond and Online we have a Yogic Studies class. It is a regular class style with more philosophy and wisdom entwined in it. At the moment the class is exploring Patanjalis Yoga Sutras - Yamas & Niyamas. Everyone is welcome to join this class that brings a deeper aspect to your yoga practice on the mat and to help move it into your daily life. The following story and much more was shared this week… AHIMSA - non violence 🐍 There is a famous story about ahimsa told in the Vedas about a sadhu / monk who made a yearly circuit of villages in order to teach. 🐍 One day as he entered a village he saw a large and menacing snake who was terrorising the people. The sadhu spoke to the snake and taught him about ahimsa. 🐍 The following year when the sadhu made his visit to the village, he again saw the snake. How changed he was! This once magnificent creature was skinny and bruised. The sadhu asked the snake what had happened? 🐍 He replied that he had taken the teaching of ahimsa to heart and had stopped terrorising the village. But because he was no longer menacing, the children threw rocks and taunted him, and he was afraid to leave his hiding place to hunt. 🐍 The sadhu shook his head. “I did advise against violence,” he said to the snake, “but I never told you not to hiss!” It means practicing ahimsa comes from the clear intention to act with clarity and love.

YOGIC STUDIES CLASS // Want to know more about integrating yoga into your daily life? Starting Monday 10th October for 10 weeks we are going to explore Patanjali’s preliminary and foundational guidelines for yoga practice known as the Yama and Niyama in the context of actual yoga classes. Why him and his work? Because Patanjali, among many, is certainly one very important figure and authorial voice for premodern yoga. His work not only serves as the root text for yoga philosophy school but also has become the touchstone of authenticity for modern postural yoga.
