Hello Beautiful,

(and yes, I mean beautiful to even you lovely!)

The vibrancy in the air is starting to change, and not just for those who get hay fever (I feel for you too!!), but energetically too. 

And then, over the weekend we heard the most perfect poem.

It was shared by one of our Yoga Teacher Trainees during their final practical assessment (pictured below!)

It resonated not only because it was the start of spring (regardless of the name of the actual poem), but because they had all blossomed into such confident teachers themselves.

A Summers Day

Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean— the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down— who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.

Hey There,

Curious as to why yoga teachers put asanas (yoga poses) in a particular order during a Vinyasa Class?

It's all about the Vinyasa Krama Baby!

Vinyasa is one of the most popular styles of Yoga in Australia. If you have been to a class that links movement with breath in a sequence, it was most prob a Vinyasa class.

The word Vinyasa can be broken down into "vi", which means "a special way" and "nyasa", which means to step or to place. "Krama" then means a sequence or progression.

No matter how we would like to think about it, in reality, the only constant in this life is change. This is represented beautifully in Vinyasa, as we practice a sequence of continuous asanas, from start to finish, with every single movement we do in the flow of postures linked to an inhale or an exhale, aligned with the intention to continue to progress forward.

Well, we have a FREE (Yes, free) mini-course on just this subject.
