This week on Flexiladiesyoga


This week's quality cultivated by yoga is self - awareness. In the video we quieten the mental chatter in order to become aware of our true selves.

For a practice focused on deep standing twists such as Revolved Triangle, Revolved Side Angle or Revolved Half Moon Balance, your warm up should mobilise the spine in all directions and create some length in the spine. 
On my 'sister' blog post is a sample warm up for deep standing twists-http://flexiladies.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/building-home-practice-warm-ups-so.html

This week the quality we are cultivating through our yoga is discernment- the wisdom to know what is good for ourselves and others.  Blog post and yoga video on my 'sister' blog - http://flexiladies.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/qualities-cultivated-by-yoga-discernment.html If you are just starting out in yoga and do not know how to set an intention for your practice, or if you are not new to yoga and struggle to set an intention, this blog post on my 'sister' blog is for you-  http://flexiladies.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/beginners-guide-to-setting-intention.html Thankfully yoga is relatively safe compared to other sports and activities but worryingly yoga injuries are on the increase.  On my 'sister' blog there are tips to help keep you safe while you practice yoga and some links to posts I have done on preventing specific yoga injuries.

In our #yogavideo this week we cultivate physical strength and because of the mind/body connection this also cultivates the mental strength to persevere through delays and difficulties. Please see my 'sister' blog for the #blog post and yoga video-  http://flexiladies.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/qualities-cultivated-by-yoga.html This blog post was included in the online paper 'Yoga Vitality Magazine'- http://paper.li/Yoga_Vitality/1336524135?edition_id=03e5d680-2499-11e7-802f-0cc47a0d1605#/ In recognition of Earth Day on the 22nd April, in this blog post I offer my thoughts on how the yamas can give us guidelines for looking after the environment.
