Have you ever been scared of Savasana? Well, probably not. It’s only one of the yummiest poses there are. But these pumpkin spice men have fallen deep into Savasana and aren’t likely to make it out alive… (cue ghostly wails ooOo) Ingredients: 2 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour 1 Tsp Baking Soda 1 Tsp Baking Powder 1 ½ Tblsp Ground Cinnamon 1 Tblsp Ground Nutmeg 2 Tblsp Ground Ginger 1 Tsp Ground Cloves ½ Tsp Salt 1 ½ Cups Granulated…
Since we released our video of Rachelle meditating around Dublin we’ve been getting a lot of questions! Art sat down with her post Copper Face Jacks to chat about the calm (and the chaos) she experienced. We hope our project might have inspired you to find some calm, whether you’re on the Ha’penny Bridge or getting your Yoga on at YogaHub 🙂 “In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you”. – Deepak Chopra
This is the last part of the metta bhavana series. It’s a combination of stages IV and V, as it deals with Anonymous and The World. Every one you don’t know. The person who makes your coffee. The person who makes your clothes. The person on the other side of the world eating a sandwich at the same time you are eating a sandwich. Personally, I feel like this is the stage of real magic and growth. Stage I helps…
Apart from writing and teaching yoga, I rent out my flat to Dublin visitors. The last time I checked, I’ve had over 50 different guests stay at the flat. I’ve met people who I would now consider friends, as well as people who were a challenge for me to host. I learned about the practice of metta bhavana just before a particularly challenging guest came to stay. Even before she arrived, I was bombarded with nearly 20 emails with various…

It has stuff to say back. Be still long enough to listen. You might find that the…
It’s like when your best friend or your partner does something that gets under your skin. You know this person so well that your thoughts spill out as not-so-gentle words. But hopefully you’ve been practicing part 1 of metta bhavana towards yourself. You’re calmer. Things are bit more still. You have a new-found respect for yourself, more stability, and want to engage with people in ways that are mindful rather than rash and chaotic. This is part 2 of Metta…
You can do this right now. Really, you can. It’s step 1 of Metta Bhavana. Close your eyes and say to yourself, May I be well. May I be happy. May I be peaceful. May I be filled with love and kindness. How did that feel? Was it weird? Okay, do it again. Close your eyes and imagine you’re having a really deep conversation with yourself. You’ve just sat down for a long-awaited coffee with You. Or, better…
