I’ve been sharing Mindfulness tips in Yogahub’s weekly newsletter since I started sending out the newsletter what must be nearly 7 years ago now (when Yogahub started). Our newsletter goes out every week. We all love doing it. Especially me. I try to keep it as concise as possible. I haven’t blogged in ages now but I needed more space to share with you some things that I noticed through my experience over the last week or so after my…
When I first started Meditating I could hardly sit still for 3 minutes let alone 5. I’d manage to go through the motions for 5 days or so and then something would happen and I’d fall out of it. Then I’d beat myself up about not doing it. Then I’d do it again. Maybe for a little bit longer. Maybe not. Erratic. Unpredictable. All over the place. My practice was an analogy for my mind……………..and me. It’s now a year…
When we visited the beautiful people over at Youth Nation yesterday to see where we’re at with YogaHub and HappyFood‘s social media and stuff they told us that our ‘marketing’, along with everyone elses’, should be all about storytelling. Why? Because we all love stories. We love movies, books, comedians, blogs, catching up with friends over coffee and ‘having the chats’. It’s all stories! What’s so valuable to realise here is that most of what’s going on inside our heads…
“There is not much talk about the clouds that are visible up here. No one seems to think it remarkable that somewhere above an ocean we are flying past a vast white candy-floss island that would have made a perfect seat for an angel or even God himself in a painting by Piero della Francesca. In the cabin, no one stands up to announce with requisite emphasis that if we look out the window, we will see that we are…
The expression ‘Cart Before the Horse’ comes to mind very much when I think of how I’ve went about things with pretty much everything I’ve done in my life. I started teaching Yoga before I had ever been to a Yoga class. I headed off to India to learn how to teach it before I had ever been to a Yoga studio or even knew one Yoga teacher. I started YogaHub cause it seemed like a good idea at the…
A gorgeous animation put together by the lovely people over at Happify about the power of Mindfulness in everyday life. Interested to know your take on the whole thing? They say it will soon be accepted as routine as brushing your teeth every day. I have to agree.
So how are you getting on with that New Year’s Resolution? Did you even get a start on it? Or if you did are you keeping it up? Let me tell you something. If we were all so super good at setting intentions like New Year’s Resolutions then there would be no need for them as we’d be on top of it not just in January but all year long! There are definitely some things we’re much better at than…
You might think a Yoga Mat is a Yoga Mat. Well that’s what I would have thought way back when I was just getting into Yoga. Like anything else though there is great Yoga Mats and then there is not so great. I’ve owned, used and sold a lot of different brands of Yoga Mats so in my experience here is what I know:-) Rule 1: Not all Yoga Mats are Made Equal Rule 2: You Buy Cheap You Buy…
Is it just me or is Yoga frickin’ everywhere right now? You can’t go on to Instagram or Facebook without seeing another YogaGirl sensation strutting her stuff Yoga style in the brightest pair of leggings known to (Wo)-man! Russell Brand is at it and owns his own Yoga studio, Colin Farrell swears by it, Madonna’s been at it ages and so has Sting! If you don’t know who that is that means I’m just showing my age 😉 There’s articles…
It’s never been easier to start a Yoga practice with so many tools online and Yoga studios opening up everywhere. If we were to look at even 20 years ago you’d probably have to get to a library in the hope that they’d have one or two books on Yoga and you’d end up analysing the poses by yourself with no instruction or guidance. Well we’re now in the information age and it has never been easier to find anything…
