Big shout out to Warren from Titan Pest Control for coming out today and doing the regular spraying of the studio and it’s surrounds 🙏✨ With all this rain and being smack bang in the middle of summer, mozzies and sand flies tend to be in abundance. The trees are out in blossom and everything is so green and lush - It’s thanks to Warren, that we can be out practicing yoga amongst all this beauty.
If you live in the Bay and have trouble with these guys, or for general pest control needs then Warren is your guy !

Say Hello to the Manomaya kosha, the third sheath/layer of our being: The Mental Body.

Within this kosha is where we imagine, and dream. This kosha is comprised of our thoughts, our feelings and emotions. It is the part of you that creates meaning out of the world you inhabit and is one of the most challenging layers to transcend, because it’s where we feel and experience everything.

Just as our annamaya kosha (physical body) has layers: of skin, fat, tissue, muscle, blood and bones, so to does our mental body; the most superficial layer comprises passing thoughts, perceptions, images and emotions.

Our thoughts and perceptions have the ability to construct or destroy, therefore many of us swing like a pendulum from happiness to suffering, attaching or identifying with every thought, feeling and emotion. Naturally, the central goal here is FREEDOM. Freedom from the fixation we have on our thoughts and feelings.
PRATYAHARA: A Sanskrit term meaning ‘withdrawal of the senses’. Pratyahara offers us a haven of silence and freedom.
It’s very possible that you have practiced this in each class during Savasana (relaxation). During the second stage of savasana, you are withdrawing from the external world without losing contact with it. Here you still register input from your sense organs but you don’t respond to that input. You can follow my guided pratyahra meditation on my latest blog post.

Another fantastic way to prepare for pratyahara is by using Shanmukhi mudra, which is the practice of closing the “six gates” or sense organs of the head. The gates refer to the areas where prana comes in and goes out. There are a few variations, but I was taught like this: with your open palms towards your face and elbows level with your shoulders, press the thumbs over your ears. Next, gently close the eyes with your index fingers, middle fingers connect to either side of the nostrils, and the ring and little fingers are above and below the lips. Allow the nostrils to slightly open for gentle inhales/exhales, closing the flow for a few seconds between breaths. While in the silence, draw the awareness inward. Listen for sounds, feelings, and visions in the body.

We welcome yogis of all levels to our wide variety of daily drop in classes! Join us for your weekly dose of yoga bliss Tuesdays, Thursdays + Saturdays 💫

Being able to practice yoga on my own is so indulgent. I might take anywhere from 5 to 90 minutes a day at whatever pace, style, and intensity I choose.

It also means that no matter where I am, no matter what time it is, I’m able to do the work daily. I generally prefer to get my day going super early, however on days like today where we are away, taking time to recharge the soul, I slept in, and ended up doing my practice later in the morning. Although I have preferences to style and times of the day, I’m not bound or restricted by them and this is why I’m able to commit regularly.
Creating your own home practice doesn’t need to be complicated either. You might just practice a few rounds of sun salutations, or 5 - 8 poses that you really enjoy and then rest in savasana. You might be tired and strapped for time, so you might simply sit in meditation and do some breath work (pranayama) before your day gets going or as it’s ending.
Perhaps you want more, and in this case it’s best to either move your body in all directions; upward, downward, forward, backwards, twist and stretch from side to side or, CHOOSE a particular area of the body for example: upper or lower body and use the asana ( yoga poses ) that are specifically good for your chosen part of the body.
The latter may feel a little daunting at first, however, if you start taking mental notes in class of what poses/ transitions you enjoyed and start incorporating these into your daily home practice you’ll soon have a little mental library of them to choose from.
Taking even a little bit of time each day to practice will help you feel a greater sense of grounding, inner peace and complacency. ✨🙏 HANDS UP IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A WEEKEND WORKSHOP THAT WILL HELP YOU TO CREATE A HOME REGULAR HOME PRACTICE?

“Hi Rhi,

You probably don't know what a difference you have made to my life. You have given me hope, confidence and self belief when it comes to restoring my wellbeing and recommencing the start of a fitness regime. Back problems can be so debilitating with constant chronic pain that it tends to rule your life. I was so hesitant but so glad that the universe guided me to you and your beginners course.

You are an amazing teacher and it was a joy to be in your presence and the way you encouraged and varied the poses to suit everyone made it so tailored. A month ago, who would have thought I would be now buying my own yoga mat! It was such a lovely and supportive group, as well.
