From Skeptic to Believer: A Yoga Journey – By Liana Bakker

posted in: Mindful Living, Yoga | 0

It was 2005 and I was in the middle of training to become a Registered Massage Therapist. One of our courses was “Therapeutic Exercise.” Not only did we learn about specific rehab exercises, but we learned a little bit about other exercises that could also benefit our patients.

posted in: Guided Meditation, Yoga | 0

Yoga Nidra is a guided relaxation/meditation practice where the practitioner is led through a creative exploration of the 5 Koshas (layers of being): physical, energetic, mental/emotional, intuitive and bliss.

Yin Yoga – Shoelace Pose

posted in: Back Pain, Yin Yoga, Yoga | 1

The shoelace pose is a great way to get into the muscles and fascia in hips, butt and IT band, which can feel cursed in our culture because of all of the sitting in chairs we do.

Because the muscles and fascia in the hips are so dense they really benefit from the long hold in Yin Yoga. Read More “Yin Yoga – Shoelace Pose”

We’re afraid of getting upset, apprehensive of being hurt, terrified by the prospect of feeling things too deeply. We know there exist certain conditions of mind and heart for which there is no numbing pill. Read More “Let Life Affect You – By Marie-Ève Bonneau”
