Yoga begins every day before you even open your eyes! Paramahansa Swami Satyananda Saraswati said that every spiritual aspirant should chant these three mantras regularly upon awakening, when the mind is clear and before you go about your day. The sadhana of chanting the Mahamrityunjaya (the mantra of healing) and Gayatri Mantra (to acquire wisdom) eleven times and the 32-names of Durga Three Times (to eradicate disturbances and distractions of life) is a simple yet powerful practice. As Swami Niranjanananda says... "With regular practice, you will discover that these three mantras play a major role in cultivating inner strength, optimism, and positivity." If you would like to incorporate this sadhana into your morning routine, you can sign-up for our free online course, which includes access to readings, downloadable chanting sheets and audio recordings for your personal use.

Joy is that state when you finally let go of fear and find freedom. My fear was going to a festival by myself and not only did I do it, I had the BEST TIME EVER!! Jazz Fest in New Orleans is the Mardi Gras of Music. It is a cultural celebration of food, music, dance, and traditions that brings the city and world together. When we learn to face our fears, we have the opportunity to laugh, love, and be “strangers stopping strangers just to shake each others hands”. @gratefuldead Festival time is a time of being free of inhibitions and insecurities and sing your loudest, dance your wildest, and let yourself enjoy life surrounded by thousands doing the same. This week we begin our focus on facing our fears from our Sat Chit Ananda focus. See ya out there! Live your yoga by living your best life. #festivaltime #jazzfest #neworleans #neworleansculture #jazzfest2024 #nola #jaibhaktiyoga #liveyourbestlife #freedom #dancemore #singloud #traditions #letgo #yogaoffthemat #happinessisachoice

💪🏻 It’s Core Confidence Challenge week! 💪🏻 So today’s cup of Positive Tea are all about inner strength & confidence. Inner strength will mean different things to all of us, but for me it means: 💜 Knowing my boundaries (and when to say no) 💜 Being motivated to follow my dreams 💜 Observing situations rather than reacting (I’m still working on this one!) 💜 Feeling confident to be ME! I have developed my inner strength through using Positive Affirmations, Mindfulness and working on my mindset. It’s a being a long road (one I’m still on), but the changes I have noticed in myself are HUGE! There’s still time to join the Core Confidence Challenge (the first live is tonight at 7.30pm), send me a message if you would like the sign up link! #selfcare #yogaforwomen #yogaforbusywomen #quickyogaforbusydays #shortyogapractice #selfcareisntselfish #metime #busylife #everydayyoga #dailyyoga #onlineyoga #yogaoffthemat #positiveaffirmationsforwomen #innerstrength #corestrengtheningexercises #yogaforcorestrength
How was your childhood? How is your innerchild doing today? How can you nurture them? ✨🪶✨Today I would like to talk about a topic that is dear to my heart and can be considered Yoga off the mat. Yoga as a holistic practice invites you to carry what you learn on the mat: Asanas, Breathing, Meditation - as a practice of mindfulness and awareness into your daily life. How do you treat yourself? How do talk to yourself? Do you allow yourself to pause and recharge your batteries or are you running on empty? Do you push yourself through your day, your Yoga sequence until it hurts or do you listen to your limits and are gentle with yourself? ✨🪶✨Ultimately how we treat ourselves is how we treat others. So change and healing always starts with ourselves. Especially if we have not been gifted with a happy childhood or experienced trauma it is so vital to allow ourselves the space to heal and nurture ourselves. ✨🪶✨ Today I would like to invite you to stop for a moment and look inward: How can you be a loving parent for yourself today, or just for the next hour? Notice how your life will unfold in beautiful and mysterious ways with this practice... OM Shanti ✨🧚♀️✨🕉✨ #yogaoffthemat #innerchild #holistic #yoga #practice #healing #lovingparent #mindfulness #bhakti #rajayoga #navinaom #awareness
🌱 TRANSITAR LA PRIMAVERA EN SALUD 🌱 Una manera de revitalizar nuestro sistema nervioso y cuerpo físico durante la primavera es conectando y entrando en contacto con la naturaleza, con los árboles y plantas. 🌿 Hacer caminatas, si es posible descalzos para recibir la energía de la tierra, bajar el estrés, limpiarnos de la carga electromagnética y ayudar a nuestra propiocepción, balance y equilibrio. Lo que dicen ahora como la práctica de "grounding". 🌿 Sentarnos a meditar cerca a árboles o plantas que estén brotando para potenciar nuestra vitalidad e incorporar esa energía de la naturaleza germinando y naciendo. ¿Tienes ya incorporadas estas prácticas de primavera? 🌿🌱🌿🌱 #naturopatia #botiquinnatural #yogaoffthemat #primavera #yang #yogaoutsidethemat #asteniaprimaveral #asteniaestacional #yoga #sattvayogui #sattvaespai #transitarlaprimaveraensalud #innerlight #ejercicio #yogaterapeutico #meditación #naturaleza #grounding #groundingpractice
Introducing: THE MANTRA CLUB ✨️ Are you ready to take your journey of self-discovery to the next level? If you're already walking the sacred path of Yoga and meditation, then you know that there's always room to expand, to dive deeper, and to awaken even more fully to the beauty and wisdom within you. And so, I've ve created The Mantra Club after hearing so many of you loud & clear - I want to go deeper! This is a 40 Day sadhana that infuses personalised practice with community growth. This offering gifts you with your own sanskrit mantra that is chosen for you, by me, based on your intentions and birth chart. Then, we take this even further by creating sangha (spiritual community) as we gather online each week for exploration, integration and sharing. The fusion of personal practice, guidance and community is how we take ourselves to higher levels of consciousness - to the levels that rewire our awareness & life experience for more spiritual freedom. THIS is the next stage - this is how we expand. Oh my goodness, I have so much to say on this and will definitely do so in the coming days. Offering will be released later this week. If you have questions bubbling right now, send me a DM anytime. #ayurveda #vedicmeditation #yogini #yogalife #mantra #yogaoffthemat #yogaphilosophy Does this excite you?
🌻Det er noe eget med løvetann, syns jeg. Strålende vakker, gul og optimistisk stikker den hodet opp så snart det er vår. Mange ser på løvetannen som en uønsket ugressplante🌱. Men jeg har et mer primitivt instinkt når jeg ser den. Mat! For visste du at hele planten kan spises? Alt til sitt bruk. I denne suppen er det de små, grønne bladene jeg bruker. De har minst bitterhet. Og når du koker suppen riktig, blir smaken riktig spennende og krydret. Løvetannsuppe 2 porsjoner En spesiell suppe som smaker nydelig sammen med ferskt brød, god olje og en (vegansk) rømmeklatt. 5 dl unge løvetannblader 1 liten løk 2 gulrøtter 1 ss olivenolje 5 dl grønnsaksbuljong 5 dl melk (gjerne soya) sukker, salt og pepper etter smak Skyll løvetannbladene godt og renskjær dem. Smak på dem - er de veldig bitre, kan du forvelle dem i litt vann før bruk, og kaste kokevannet. Skrell løk og gulrot og kutt i terninger. Varm oljen i en vid gryte. Ha i løvetann, løk og gulrot og fres på middels varme til det hele mykner, ca. 15 minutter. Tilsett grønnsaksbuljong og melk. Kok opp og la småkoke i ca. 15 minutter. Kjør suppen jevn med en stavmikser eller i en blender. Smak til med sukker (hvis suppen fortsatt er bitter), salt og pepper. Server med godt brød 🍞, olje og en liten rømmeklatt. TIPS: Gule løventannblomster er dekorativt på suppen. Løsne de gule bladene fra blomsten og dryss over rett før servering! Vil du lære mer om å spise blomster? Sjekk ut boken min, Blomster! Den er perfekt følge nå på våren, med stadig flere blomster du kan spise. * * * * * #TCM #5elements #vår #livermeridian #gallbladdermeridian #vårmat #kinesiskmedisin #easternmedicine #vårenerher #våryr #springtime #vårmorgen #vårdag #våryoga #Yogafood #5elements #Intuitiveeating #yogamedicine #yogaoffthemat #oppskrift #suntogenkelt #matoppskrifter #slikgjørdu #oppskrifter #sunneoppskrifter #kokebok #matinspo #matblogg
In our retreats, we learn, we practice, and we go back with the idea of how to continue with the practice to lead a life that we probably weren’t living before, for the good of ourselves and for others. Yogic lifestyle has a lot to do with what we’re doing when we are not on the mat. The art of taking the learnings from the mat to off the mat is of high importance. And that is what we emphasize in our programs. Come, experience a life shifting moment with us and see how a Yogic lifestyle connect you more with your own nature🧘♀️ 🧘🏼♂️ Dates: 4-7th July Venue: The Mirage, Andretta, Himachal Pradesh #yogaretreatsindia #yogaretreats #yogaprogress #yogajourney #yogaoffthemat
King dancer should be one of the IG able yoga poses~ I guess?😜
The final Yama is aparigraha: non-possessiveness. Feel like a broken record, but as a whole we should look at our attachments and what we value. I have been talking about this in my classes in regard to being attached to our bodies. We have to remember that we are not our bodies, we are vast, we are life. If we can practice coming to our mats like it was the first time, no attachment to how we showed up yesterday… I have also observed many vinyasa teachers needing surgery, and it’s made me wonder, if once we teach asanas and make it a business, do we forget about the yamas? What happened to brahmacharya, satya, ahimsa and, of course aparigraha.. This is a big reason on why I have been diving deeper into my studies, opening up to other ways to support myself and letting go of the attachment on what that looks like. Somatics has really lightened up my soul and made my body feel so yummy. Anywhere you might need to look at aparigraha in your life? #yoga #8limbsofyoga #yogaislife #yogalifestyle #yamas #aparigraha #nonpossessiveness #nonattachment #yogaoffthemat #practice

Bridging the gap between the past and present during times of transition and uncertainty can leave you feeling off-centre. Often, you can feel unbalanced and lose focus when your life is in Flux. You're faced with change and uncertainty; you can start to feel disconnected, distant, distracted, and detached. Trying to find your footing, reconnect with your emotions as well as the sensations in your body, and find your way back onto your path. Mindfulness practices help build that bridge between the past and present, allowing you to come back into the moment. Practicing pranayama (breathwork), meditation, and cultivating interoceptive body awareness through asana and other moving meditation practices bring you back into the here and now. Bringing the present back into the center of your focus. Photo 📸 @nastienesty #yogaoffthemat
Podcast Episode #15 has released! In this episode we speak with Dr Ben Williams, an intellectual historian specializing in Indian religions and Shaiva Tantra. His academic focus has primarily been on Abhinavagupta. He holds extensive training in Indian philosophy, literature, and aesthetics, and currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Hinduism at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, where he also leads the newly launched MA in Yoga Studies. His doctoral thesis is on revelation and the figure of the tantric guru in Abhinavagupta’s writings. Ben discusses his journey into this field, the distinction between a scholar-practitioner and a traditional scholar, and shares incredible insights into Kashmir Shaivism and Abhinavagupta’s teachings and texts.

Sometimes we can become that thing that we are fighting against. If we are not self aware and conscious, we will reproduce harm. Self study is an important yoga practice. We must observe ourselves and investigate. #svadyaya #introspection #selfexamination #yogaoffthemat #eightlimbsofyoga

💜 Learn about the Crown/Sahasrara Chakra: When you look up at the stars or up at a mountain do you experience a sense of awe and enjoy a reminder of your tiny but significant place in the universe? That’s a sign that your Crown Chakra is balanced! The Crown/Sahasrara Chakra is our connection to cosmic energy, the entire universe, and spirituality. This is our connection to something greater than our own small dramas in life, something beyond our own bodies and thoughts. Physically this energy center might be felt at the top of your head, back of your head, and six inches above your head. An imbalance in this energy center could manifest physically as headaches or eye strain, lending itself energetically to a difficulty remembering your sacred place in the grand scheme of life or alternately as a spacey, “head in the clouds” approach to life. Balance is the goal! 💜 Here are some ideas to bring balance to your Crown Chakra: - Wear the color purple - Meditate - Practice inversions - Gaze up at the night sky - Volunteer for a cause you believe in - Read spiritual texts - Chant bhakti mantra or religious songs - Wash your hair or get a haircut - Put yourself in places where you experience a sense of awe and wonder - Remember your innate connection to all beings everywhere 💜 Crown Chakra Affirmation: I UNDERSTAND. I am more than my physical body and my thoughts. I am open to a life beyond my wildest dreams. *** Thank you to long-time Pilgrimage instructor @yogini_lena for this writing contribution! 🌟

Why take a retreat? . While the world can often (and especially now) feel like an unpredictable and slightly anxiety provoking place, it’s so important to take the time to reconnect to yourself and what really matters. With so much unfiltered noise constantly coming at us, intentional wellness-based travel offers a chance to step away and find the space and silence to take a breath, to experience a new perspective, to remind ourselves why we’re doing the things we’re doing , and maybe what needs letting go. Through nourishing food, connection with like-minded people, nature bathing, and daily practice, retreats offer a chance anchor back to our true selves. In our bodies. In our souls. Separating from cluttered thoughts and emotions that are no longer serving us. . And then from this place you can return to your community with compassion and deeper intuitive lessons to share, with kindness and patience. This is my intention each time I build a retreat program. And I hope we get to experience it together soon💫 ❤️ . Always fill your own cup first and then let it spill over for the world around you. .

今週は演奏会weekでした。 プレッシャーに弱いから、それ相応に準備をしないと心の中で負けてしまうことに改めて気づいた山協。 人生初めてした失敗がトラウマになりそうだったけど、反省を活かせたかもしれない三曲協会。 本番の舞台で唄本が風で飛んでいきそうになって焦ったけど、自分だけではどうにもできない状況の中でもベストを尽くす心の余裕の大切さを舞台でも感じた🪷 生きる上での哲学は全ての瞬間に活かされる。 今日からまた、6月の演奏会シーズンまで準備を重ねたいと思います🥰 — #箏 #演奏会 #koto #traditionalmusic #concert

EMBRACING EMPATHY AND INTEGRATING TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES INTO YOGA Integrating trauma informed practices into yoga transcends individual healing — it cultivates a sanctuary of compassion and empathy that benefits everyone. By weaving elements of choice, safety, and respect into each session, we foster a space where all feel welcome and empowered. Imagine a world where every yoga class is a reflection of our collective commitment to honor each person’s individuality and journey. This approach not only transforms yoga studios but could also revolutionize our societal perspective on wellness. It shifts our focus from physical exercise to holistic healing and community building. • How might your yoga practice change if every class prioritized your personal comfort and choice? • Can you extend these principles beyond the mat into other areas of our lives? • What impact could this have on your various community’s overall mental health? Let’s discuss how a trauma-informed lens could reshape our approach to wellness and create deeper connections within our community. Share your thoughts and experiences below—your insights are invaluable as we envision a more empathetic world together. 🙏🏾💫 . . . #yoga #yogainspiration #yogaoffthemat #empathy
Yoga Off the Mat: Oh My Goodness! Some lessons repeat themselves 🤦🏼♀️. Before heading off to a workshop at Kripalu recently, I was attempting to wrap up some loose ends—groceries, laundry, etc—and visit my mother. As I headed out the door on a Saturday morning, I realized I had left my jacket— and my car key fob in the pocket— at a restaurant the night before. That happens, right? But the restaurant didn’t reopen until the evening. No worries, we all keep spare car keys in a safe place, don’t we? Only problem was I couldn’t remember where that safe place might be and could not locate my spare key😞. All the feelings started to flood in: self-flogging for not tidying up clutter and being more organized; imposter syndrome for priding myself on having my $#!& together and then not being able to drive my car; and disappointment with myself for disappointing myself AND my mother (can you say “mommy issues”🙄?) And then I reminded myself that we are all fallible human beings, and when big feelings arise, they usually run much deeper than the “trigger” (in this case, the missing key fob). So how did things resolve? I eventually got my jacket and key back when the restaurant reopened, and when I returned from the week long workshop, I began to address some clutter. And there it was! My key fob was hiding under a pile, right next to my Kripalu yoga book🤦🏼♀️🤪🤷♀️ Oh, the irony! Lessons? Sometimes we need to slow down, we need to address our clutter/stuff (whether that’s physical/mental/emotional or a combination), and we need to give ourselves the Grace of Compassion 😌 #grace #compassion #selfcompassion #myyogajoy #drrobertagarceau #elementalwellness #elemental_wellness #yogaoffthemat #lessons #human

“I felt really safe in your class” This week I had several new students in a Yin + Sound Bath class I taught. Two were new to the studio, two were new to yoga. All 4 stayed after class to chat and offer feedback about their experiences in the class. One student offered that she had felt really safe in the class, something she had never felt in the studio she came from. This comment touched me deeply, as the highest priority I endeavor to provide my students is a sanctuary where they feel safe, nurtured, and provided for. I know first hand that many times our bodies or our environments or even our minds can feel like unsafe spaces. My hope is that my classes are a place where students can learn to leave the ego chatter behind, to find stillness and quiet in their bodies. The more we practice this on the mat, the more we can find it off the mat. I am so deeply grateful for students who share feedback like this so that I too, as an instructor, can learn and grow, and better serve the students who walk through that studio door each week. Come practice with me. Still the mind, still the body. Allow yourself to just be.
I am a certified yoga instructor. I have been one since 2018. I also used to really hate yoga. It was boring and slow and not really a workout. It was a lot of stretching and holding poses and WHEN IS THIS STUPID CLASS GOING TO BE OVER?!?!? Eventually, I gave it one more try and I told myself I was going to go all in. And it has been one of the greatest outlets for me. Yoga definitely helps improve strength and flexibility. BUT, it also helps with stress and anxiety, and can counteract symptoms of depression. Yoga is the only exercise that has been repeatedly recommended by my doctors. And let's not forget the YOGA HIGH. The Yoga High is a natural high that many practicing yogis claim to feel during and after a yoga practice. It is a lightness, a feeling of lift, an overall joyful state where things that seemed stressful, annoying, or worrisome just don't seem that way anymore. For anyone who has never tried yoga, I highly recommend. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. #yogalife #yogainstructor #yogaislife #yogajourney #yogaoffthemat #yogilife #domoreyoga

Sat, 4/27 🗣️ & sometimes we need to remind ourselves: We do matter, we are enough, we deserve to take up space, our feelings are valid, we aren’t a broken mess, we are beautiful & the right people will see that beauty within us, our opinions matter, our boundaries matter, we are worthy, deeply worthy, and that our humanness & vulnerability is what makes us so gloriously, uniquely us.

Today I invite you to think of a happy image of yourself 💗 1. what is one small thing that is good about your day? if things are tough = something simple & small For me it’s sipping a fabulous G&T! But it could equally be a cup of strong black coffee, an Italian ice cream, the sun on my face, a hug, lick from my dog or a kind word.. 💗 2. what feels good in your body? This is a funny one. Automatically our attention goes to what doesn’t feel good, what is sore or aching, parts of us we don’t like … but let’s notice instead 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 & give thanks I am grateful that I'm not doing too badly for an old bird Have a beautiful day
The 4th Yama and one again that as I’m reading and diving into it again, I’m like wow- I needed to read this. I needed to be humbled by this… is brahmacharya- or moderation. Now depends on the text and where you are in your life and practice and how it serves you, but some say that it’s full celibacy. It’s not giving in or caving into any desires. It’s creating that mental strength. Then some text you look at that celibacy is until your 25-26 and then you get married and begin your family. I do like my physical touch with my partner, but being able to control our mind against our desires creates huge strength. Right now I need a lot more moderation in my phone/social use, beginning to use it for marketing and business but then getting stuck in the scroll hole. Seeing the pattern of it being used as distraction, and desire rather than for intention. We all go through different levels of sacrifice to make one goal or dream happen, and that too is practicing brahmacharya. Wanting to get to the next fitness level, so you eat whole food and sacrifice going out to eat. That takes strength and that moderation and determination is how we can achieve the next level. Where in your life could you practice a little more brahmacharya? #brahmacharya #yogaislife #yogalifestyle #8limbsofyoga #yoga #yogalife #yamas #yogaoffthemat #morethanasana #namastestrongyoga
Stopping to find shalabasana arms periodically helps keep my gait steady and my breath moving freely. I couldn’t even get both arms behind my back without help one year ago. Cobra, camel, or locust pose with assist can be life changing for a paralyzed arm. It can sure be hard to be a brain injury survivor and be grateful for life. 🌸Spring is a great time to take your yoga off your mat and experience the beauty life has to offer🌻 “If we stop long enough to gaze at what is set out before us, to let the mystery of beauty and the wonder of the seasons sit deeply in our soul, our heart cannot help but burst forth in thanksgiving and gratitude to life itself.” -The Yamas and Niyamas by Deborah Adele. . . . . . #yogaoffthemat #strokeyoga #healing #innerpeace #lightworker #manifestation #meditation #mentalhealth #spiritualgrowth #spiritualjourney #therapy #wisdom #yogaeveryday #yogainspiration #yogajourney #yogalife #yogalove #yogaoffthemat #yogaphilosophy #yogaphotography #yogapose #yogaposes #yogapractice #yogaretreat #yogashapes #yogastrong #yogateacher #paralyzedarmyoga #shalabasana
Saucha; purity, cleanliness, and clearness. A virtue from the yoga philosophy. when students walk into the yoga room and the mats are in a specific order, predictable and organized, their shoulders can relax their bodies can feel safe and they can trust that this is a place that they can just be and let be. how you choose to organize and set up the room matters. Be intentional in creating the space, and the intention will carry through to the practice and into daily life. #yogaforyouth #kidsyogateacher #yogaoffthemat @soulyogasr @lisarenee1272

“It can be interesting to see how you contribute to the happiness of others. Not asking, How should I?—do not turn it into a big guilt trip—but asking, How do I? I do not think we need to be told what makes us happy, nor do I think we need to be told what makes others happy; rather, we need to be quiet and contemplate what nourishes happiness. The things that make people happy touch the human heart and the human soul.” — Adyashanti Some people naturally prioritize caring for others, while some are ensnared by the delusion that their personal desires hold more weight. The paradox lies in the fact that until we break free from this illusion, our sense of loneliness will persist. Our interconnectedness runs deep, and finding joy in others’ happiness is also our own. We can reflect on nature’s example; notice how trees support each other in times of distress. We are nature, we have the power to impact the world by simply being present with ourselves and others. When we contribute to one person’s happiness, it ripples out to benefit all. #yogalifestyle #yogalife #yogaoffthemat #yogalove #yogastrong #yogini #contemplativepractice

Flipping your perspective can help you embrace uncertainty when you feel change on the horizon. I can hardly see myself living my life on my hands like some yogis. My handstand practice is not about that. When life feels uncertain, I find myself flipping my perspective. Inverting my perspective along with my body makes the familiar new and unfamiliar. I start playing with my fears, seeing them as a guide, learning to trust my strength and intuition. I lean into my fears as a catalyst for growth, approaching setbacks and challenges as opportunities and stepping stones. In the same way taking those little tiptoe steps to the top of your mat as a practice for setting up a solid and stable foundation towards handstands, cultivating the strength and resilience to navigate uncertainty requires a patient and steady approach. Finding balance becomes a delicate dance between effort and surrender. Striving too much can lead to rigidity and too much surrender results in collapse. Most days, I still find myself needing the proprioceptive feedback of a wall. I can accept that I still need that support. Each person in my support system is another brick in that wall that gives me a sense of security, helping me find a sense of safety and ease while harmonizing moments of surrender with effort, learning when to push and when to let go. Once I feel solid in my foundation, trusting myself, I step away from that wall unattached to the outcome, practicing Aparigrah (non-grasping). Pleasure isn't found in achievements but in finding playfulness in your practice. Finding joy in the process. Fully engaging in the moment with ease and presence. Photo 📸 @nastienesty #yogaoffthemat
