To be honest, I had no idea what endorphins were until I did a bit of research into natural healing. After doing the research and putting a few things into action, I have realised the astonishing power endorphins have in relation to overall health and happiness. What Are Endorphins? Endorphins are the body’s natural opiates, designed to relieve stress and enhance pleasure and happiness. These endorphins are chemicals that are released in your brain during certain activities. There are various ways to…
So it’s a week after my first blog and setting the intention to stop complaining and I did not think I’d come to such a massive realisation. Or realisations even! This year for me has been all about setting intentions and trying to be a better version of myself. The major wins have been in seeing just how powerful setting intentions are. What I first noticed after setting the intention to stop complaining, as I wrote about in Part 1,…

Excess is easy. That much I know for sure. Too much, too little, too often. It is one of the easiest things to let ourselves indulge in the safety of the extremities. It takes courage, balance, and practice to remain upright in the midst of it all, and stay grounded in the middle of chaos. Being aware that there will always be limitations, and things we cannot do – yet along with these limitations will be good things; positive and…

Hope you enjoy:). Fresh and Present In a Chair Now this is a story all about how, Yoga and meditation keeps me from getting down, And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I learnt…
Have you ever been scared of Savasana? Well, probably not. It’s only one of the yummiest poses there are.

Have a little patience Yoga for me has become an absolutely vital practice in my life and it teaches me more and more about myself each and every day. One of the most valuable lessons that I have learnt to date is “patience”. Now I say this is a lesson I have learnt but I have to re-apply this lesson like Kim Kardashian re-applies her make-up (multiple times on a daily basis). Just for the record, I don’t keep up…
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…
