Shake, shake, shake out the trauma!

By Mindfulness, Motivational, Wellbeing, Yoga

In my pursuit to heal my body I have tried and tested many different holistic healing therapies. One therapy that I found particularly beneficial was T.R.E (Trauma release exercises). I found an incredibly helpful practitioner online by the name of Raymond Lambert who can be found on www.treireland.ie. What is TRE TRE® (Tension, Stress & Trauma Release Exercise) is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, TRE safely…

Find Calm In The Chaos – YogaHub

By Asana, Dublin, Humour, Ireland, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Music, Rachelle Hicks, Teachers, Yoga

It’s possible. Honestly, I really felt it. To find calm in the chaos. And, whoa, Dublin, it’s nice to finally meet you. I recommend it. Stop on the sidewalk for 5 minutes and really take a look at your surroundings. Smile at someone you might otherwise pass by. Find a space in your day to say HELLO to the city you live in. It has stuff to say back. Be still long enough to listen. You might find that the…

Mindfulness and Me. One Simple Tip That Helped Me Might Help You.

By Meditation, Mindfulness, Restorative, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

  A few months ago I had an episode which was the beginning of the change in my life for the better. I had pretty much  3 years of perpetual ‘fight-or-flight mode’ from when I started YogaHub right up until this day. I think it was back in March. This episode was brought about by everything becoming more organised and under control. The managers had joined YogaHub and roles were delegated out and everything around me was calming down and…

Metta Bhavana: Part II

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

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…

Meditation Is Medication; It Ain’t Easy But It Works

By Dublin, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Wellbeing

The title of this post might seem extremely profound and to be perfectly honest if I had read that title after my first attempt at meditation I would have thought it was a load of nonsense. How I got started Roughly 12 months ago I was still struggling with chronic physical pain. I was stressed beyond belief and I spent most of the day thinking negatively about every single sensation of pain I was experiencing. My mind was working on…

Metta Bhavana: Part I

By Asana, Dublin, Ireland, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Rachelle Hicks, Teachers, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

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…

2 Things to Keep in Mind when Peeps are Unkind!

By Dublin, Mindfulness, Yoga, YogaHub

    Have you ever heard something negative about someone and you immediately conjure up a pretty involved story only to later discover that that’s all it was…………..a story! And what about a story where this guy or girl is being unkind to you to say the least (I’m sure you can think of one or two either right now or in the past) and in your mind’s storybook you’ve cast as ‘the villain’. And you the victim. And the more…

The Transformational Effect of Yoga and Mindfulness

By Dublin, Ireland, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Music, Pranayama, Teachers, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

Can you feel it yet? A palpable shift in people’s perceptions. Our priorities are changing. We want fit healthy bodies and fit healthy minds. So many people are getting involved in yoga for precisely those reasons and once they are on the mat they realise there is a bit more depth than at first meets the eye. So many of us are interested in health, fitness and well-being these days. It is across generations, not just one demographic. We are…

Electric Picnic Recovery with YogaHub

By Dublin, Humour, Ireland, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Music, Restorative, Wellbeing, YogaHub

  Water. Drink it, splash it on your face, rub it on your elbows, submerge yourself. Hydrate Fully.   Get clean. 3 or more baths are not too many!   Rest your ears. After a weekend of aural bliss, be kind to your hearing. Ears also love blankets and pillows and massages.   Focus on the simple things. Like tea and chickpeas and hermit crabs.   Laugh! Avoid the festival comedown by watching a movie, telling stories, or looking at…
