Excess Is Easy – Benefits Of A Regular Yoga Practice At YogaHub

By Asana, Dublin, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

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.

I’m not suggesting I’m even near where I want to be. Or that I’m trying to be some idea of perfect. That’s not really the point. The point is as long as I’m trying each and every day to be a better version of myself than I was yesterday…

Fighting The Pose: Mind vs Yoga Mat

By Mindfulness, Wellbeing, Yoga

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”.

By Asana, Dublin, Matt Quigley, Teachers, Yoga, YogaHub

It was the only weekend he had free for 6 months and we just said ‘Screw it, let’s do it’. At that point I thought this guy is going to suit…

By Dublin, Ireland, Mindfulness, Motivational, Rachelle Hicks, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

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…
