To Round Or Not To Round – That Is The Question

posted in: Yoga 2

This post could stir the pot a little and maybe even cause a wee Yoga uproar. Believe it or not, Yogis just like everyone else can be pretty attached to ‘their way’ of practicing being the ‘right way’.

So if you are a Yoga teacher or a long time practicing Yogini and you are reading this, I encourage you to keep an open mind on this and try it out for yourself. Read More “To Round Or Not To Round – That Is The Question”

Vedic Astrology and Yoga

posted in: Mindful Living 2

The following is a guest post by my Vedic Astrologer, Lorae Marsten. I was highly sceptical about Vedic Astrology at first since I tend to have one foot in the woo woo and one firmly planted in practicality. I thought getting my chart read was a bit out there for me but Lorae and I have a mutual friend who raved about her so I gave it a chance. Read More “Vedic Astrology and Yoga”

Yoga For Your Neck

posted in: Yoga 0

If you’re like me and suffer from neck stiffness, then you’re going to want to add this stretch to your daily routine. You can even do it at work at your desk.

Because of the nature of our western lifestyle and all the sitting at desks we do, it’s pretty common to have some neck drama. Read More “Yoga For Your Neck”
