The subtle mind & meditation

Meditation is a state of being, arrived at through understanding. It needs intelligence, it does not need techniques.

Keeping the Balance

Bring balance into your life by bringing it into your yoga practice...

"Yoga is the study of balance and balance is the aim of all living creatures" 
Rolf Gates…

Balances calm your mind and bring you into the present;
What's your favourite balance pose? Is it one of these;

Dancer/Natarajasana
Tree/Vrkasana
Eagle/Garudasana
Crow/Bakasana

Or something else? 

The key to all balances is to to exist in the moment, focus your gaze softly on a point, feel grounded - rooted to the floor, centered, keep focusing on your point and your breath as you gently release one foot moving into your selected balance. As you arrive into your balance simply enjoy the moment... be present... be calm.

Practicing balances regularly brings peace to your mind and harmony into your life as you learn to pause amidst all the pressures; developing mindfulness.

As the nights draw in ... take the opportunity to grow

Yoga is a lot about stretching but not just your body; your mind, your abilities, your comfort zone.

Challenge yourself, use reflection to see what you can achieve :)
