yoga time

Namaste

The best and only way to start the day

Excited to be going to my favorite #yoga class to date....

so its been 2 weeks due to bank holiday opening hours etc

and yes its fair to say that I was getting withdrawal symptoms 😉

of course I have been going to other classes... #body balance #yoga ..attending the gym...

its fair to say that if I dont get my daily dose of exercise I do feel very down !!!

but this one particular class I always miss more than the others

Its quite an intense yoga class and always leaves me feeling exhilarated if not a little taller than when I went in... 😉

The Instructor is a beautiful young woman who just gives off this amazing aura...

as soon as she walks in, you feel transported into the spirit of Yoga....

she spends time to chat to the class and makes every one relaxed....

she is full of passion and expression and effortlessly spreads this through the whole class within minutes of arriving,  and its fair to say that when I leave I always feel as if I am taking some of it with me.....

Yes I can truthfully say that it was when I met this beautiful human being that I decided I too wanted to be a Yoga Instructor   ( if at all possible ) to learn more about it
Thank you...you have inspired me  x

Of course I had always wanted to teach and pass on the benefits of exercise and a healthy life style to others, but some how the time never seemed right until now.....

Now was the time and hopefully for the rest of my life

I had found my passion...and I wanted to pass this feeling ( that she gives to us ) on to others and to show as many people as possible the benefits of this beautiful way of life

As Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says, “Yoga is not just exercise and asanas. It is the emotional integration and spiritual elevation with a touch of mystic element, which gives you a glimpse of something beyond all imagination.”

Another Inspiration

Good morning beautiful people..







That said..we should aspire to make the most of TODAY......
On that note ...I would like to share with you ANOTHER INSPIRATION
#Jean Dawson is 100 years old and still goes to her yoga classes!!

Jean Dawson practises #Iyengar Yoga which is characterized by the focus on  body alignment and by the use of yoga props such as yoga blocks and belts. Mrs Dawson says that yoga helped her cure her back pains and gave her better flexibility and stamina.

This amazing lady was still practising headstands and shoulder stands at the age of 97..

but unfortunately had to stop due to blood pressure...

I think the most amazing fact of this story is that Jean didnt start yoga until she was  67 after seeing an ad about it in her neighbourhood,  and credits it for her health and longevity.

“I don’t know how I would be today if I hadn’t taken up Iyengar Yoga. It has given me good posture, balance, concentration, flexibility and stamina,” reported Jean

Well I dont know about you....but if its good enough for Jean ..its good enough for me...so share her story with all your treasured family members...including those silver foxes, aunts, uncles,granma's ( my category 😉) granpa's, mothers and fathers right now...

You know it makes sense....

The moral of the story?

Namaste
