In Teacher Thoughts, YogaHub teachers share their story. This week with the help of leaves, trees, and doggies, the Iveagh Gardens provided the perfect autumnal backdrop for one of our amazing teachers Rachelle Hicks to share her Yoga story 🙂
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…
Here is a little rap I put together. The words are below but you can follow it more clearly by watching the video. This is my first outing as a rapper but it explains how I got into meditation. 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…
There has been absolutely loads of things I have started to try to action in my life this year so that I might try to become a better version of myself. 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…
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…
Introduction to Desk-back Firstly, I need to point out that similarly to the majority of the population, I work in an office at a desk. I also must highlight that I never had any real back pain to speak of until I was involved in a car accident 3 years ago. Initially when I went back to work after the accident my pain was pretty bad, however as time went by the pain was getting progressively worse. I was sitting down all…
‘Dwell with the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.’ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations. I’ll keep saying it until I’m blue in the face and Why? Because there will never ever be enough of it around. I make mistakes. I get things wrong. Every day is a new opportunity to be better though and that’s all I care about. I care about being better tomorrow than I am today. Is YogaHub the best Yoga studio…
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…
