Restorative Yoga: Exploring Supported Child’s Pose In-depth

May 29, 2015 by Guest Author 1 Comment

Supported Child's Pose

By Neal Ghoshal, Sacred Moves A little while ago I wrote an article on the eight essential principles of Restorative Yoga. Since then I've been continuing to delve deep into this beautiful practice. Deep rest is always calling! I'm happy to be sharing some more … and one of the most profoundly restful of the Restorative postures is Supported Child's Pose (Salamba Balasana). This is a posture which many find deliciously comforting and relaxing, perhaps because it tunes us into a time when … [Read more...]

Why a Great Yoga Teacher is Sometimes Crucial to Progress Your Practice

by Kara-Leah Grant, Musings from the Mat Six weeks or so into regular Mysore-style classes with Peter Sanson and I've having some serious insights and openings - not just on the physical level, but also on the emotional, mental and energetic level. But of course - how could it be any other way? These things are all intertwined and I've known this for a very long time. Before I found Peter, I'd been searching for a yoga teacher for a decade or so, while doing a home practice and sporadically … [Read more...]

10 reasons why I’m excited to choose corporate work over teaching yoga

May 16, 2012 by Kara-Leah Grant 18 Comments

by Kara-Leah Grant, Musings from the Mat Oh yes loyal Lunchboxers, after weighing up what I need in my life right now, I've decided to forgo trying to earn a living wage as a yoga teacher and website publisher, and instead head back into the workplace. I've been sprucing up my CV, writing cover letters, and getting in touch with recruitment agencies. It feels GREAT! Normally the story we hear is about people getting disillusioned with working for a living, with being in the corporate … [Read more...]

How to get the most out of any yoga teacher training – ask questions!

March 15, 2012 by Elissa Jordan 5 Comments

by regular columnist Elissa Jordan, Adventures in Teaching I’ve had the same conversation a countless number of times since I started training to be a yoga teacher - a conversation about continuity in access to a skilled senior teacher. Traditionally yoga was taught over many years from a guru to a student. This student would often live in their guru’s home and what was given to them for a practice was never once questioned. Times have changed and in this busy world people don’t have the … [Read more...]

Lori-Ellen Grant, owner of Christchurch small business Whole Body Health

How the Yoga Lunchbox community can tangibly support the Christchurch holistic health community

March 2, 2011 by Kara-Leah Grant 5 Comments

Lori-Ellen Grant, owner of Christchurch small business Whole Body Health

Alrighty then loyal Lunchboxers. As we all well know, it's been one helluva week here in New Zealand. Regardless of where we live, or what our personal ties are to Christchurch, we've all been feeling the grief and emotion of the earthquake. Many of us have made donations to various appeals, including the Red Cross and the major bank appeals. Many yoga studios and teachers have been donating funds from classes too. But we still feel like we want to do something more... something … [Read more...]
