Home Yoga Practice...

Love this passage from “My Body is a Temple” by Christina Sell.

"There is a sense of empowerment that comes when you are reliable in your commitment to practice, in your own personal time of self-exploration and experimentation. In a personal practice, in the intimacy of your own breath as it joins your heart’s intention, alone with yourself, you can establish your foundation and begin to build a temple of the body."

Thank you Christina Sell for this one, so beautiful and true.

Anahata...

Today we start the journey of our heart chakra, the seat of love.

"More than anything, love is the deep sense of spiritual connection, the sense of being touched, moved, and inspired to heights beyond our normal limits. It is a connection with a deep, fundamental truth that runs through all of life and connects us together. Love makes the mundane sacred…"

Thursday Wisdom...

A super important reminder for your home yoga practice (found this in an article about Practice Awareness in Yoga Journal); 

“The study of asana is NOT about mastering posture. It’s about using posture to UNDERSTAND and TRANSFORM YOURSELF.” 

Exploring the Chakras...

Thank you Amy for sharing your chakra journey experience!! This week we explore the fire chakra; willpower, transformation and self-esteem. Next week we gently climb up to the seat of love, heart chakra.

“This chakra journey is keeping me in tune with my body and making me much more mindful for each chakra as we explore. I'm loving it!” ~Amy

Weekend Sadhana

Moments of beauty everyday...

Moments of seeing the beauty in the ordinary, enjoying simplicity and small pleasures in everyday life are often overlooked... What brings you joy and pleasure in everyday life? What are the small things that brings you a feeling of contentment and warmth to your heart? Picture taken by my sister Pernilla.

Saturday Sadhana

Steady mindful flow with dhanurasana as a peakpose. Open heart... Full of gratitude for my practice. Enjoy your Saturday. Peace & Light, Helén

A practice on and off the yoga mat...

Let your asana practice open and heal any imbalances within your earth chakra. Use your breath to ground and connect. Grounding helps us cope with stress and it brings us a sense of security and clarity. Trust your foundation, trust yourself and your journey.

Remember beautiful yoginis, working with the chakras is not about fixing anything or reaching a certain goal. It’s about a life long exploration of yourself. To be your best self. To love yourself and to offer your true authentic self. Love, Helén
