Cultivating Unshakeable Peace & Wellbeing with iRest Yoga Nidra: An Interview with Fuyuko Toyota

February 6, 2020 by Guest Author 1 Comment

by Neal Ghoshal Ten years ago I had the great pleasure to meet Fuyuko Toyota. We were both assisting our teacher Donna Farhi on a long 21-day training and I was immediately drawn to Fuyuko for her warmth, her humility and humour and her deep, compassionate wisdom.  Over the three weeks, we developed a beautiful appreciation for each others' teachings, and a delightful friendship which has only deepened through the years. Now we are like brother and sister on the Yoga path! It has … [Read more...]

Yoga of Action! How to Embrace Kriya Yoga for Positive Change

October 25, 2019 by Guest Author 1 Comment

by Heather Robinson There is something in yoga practice, isn’t there, which brings us in touch with ourselves. It is a fascination often motivating us to practice – a positive action. So... Let’s take positive action with our practice of yoga. And what would that action look like?  Finding my mat perhaps, being somewhere out of the normal hubbub of life – in a personal space, or in a group setting.                 A great place to … [Read more...]

Yoga, the Digestive Fire & Health

October 10, 2019 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

by Swami Karma Karuna, Anahata Yoga Retreat Fire is a force of nature. It is used for survival, however, if it is over-activated it can destroy and if it is under activated it goes out. Often fire is associated with flames but this is only the most physical aspect of the fire element.  In the yogic view, fire is a powerful and transformative energy existing in the macro cosmos and the micro cosmos. The digestive system is the inner fire within the physical body that sustains … [Read more...]

The Transformative Practice of Yoga Mudras

September 26, 2019 by Guest Author 1 Comment

by Swami Karma Karuna, Anahata Yoga Retreat Whether consciously or unconsciously, the way we gesture or carry ourselves in physical attitudes throughout the day has the capacity to influence health, interactions, physiology and more. Using the body to express something or to communicate a feeling underlies many of our interactions in an unspoken way. Mudras, the ancient science of creating gestures with the hands, head or whole body, is a powerful and subtle yogic practice that is often … [Read more...]

When it turns out Exile was just a Sabbatical • My return to the Yoga World

August 29, 2019 by Kara-Leah Grant Leave a Comment

by Kara-Leah Three weeks ago, after a three or four year sabbatical, I stepped back into a Yoga Studio to teach. I’d stopped teaching because my practice no longer resembled a studio yoga class, and it was impossible to teach something I wasn’t doing. It felt contrived, and wrong. Walking away from teaching felt like walking away from a core part of my identity. But sticking it out felt like a lie. So I stopped teaching. And I stopped going to studios because I was invariably … [Read more...]

Teaching the Superpower of Rest & Reset with Pregnancy Yoga

August 8, 2019 by Guest Author 3 Comments

by KeiShana Coursey, Opti-mum I’m awake between first sleep and second sleep. It’s 1 a.m., and for the past week I have been nursing the family through high fevers (including some gnarly hallucinations). My body has succumbed to this viral storm, waking with a sore throat and aching joints, and I’ve just taken a truckload of potions which means I can’t lie down until it’s, well, down. Last night, I dragged myself off to bed as the sun was setting – which I believe is what used to happen … [Read more...]

Yoga as Art, Yoga as Science

July 25, 2019 by Guest Author 2 Comments

by Manmohan Singh, The debate about whether yoga is a science or an art has been going on for a long time. However, if you really know what is science and what is art, then you probably don’t need any explanation to decide what yoga is. Let’s look at the definition of science first: The systematic study of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.Systemized knowledge of a specific subject.A specific branch of knowledge.Knowledge gained through systematic … [Read more...]
