Sometimes we forget the small things. We just do. Life gets hectic. Schedules get busy. Stress affects our close relationships. And we forget how unbelievably lucky we are. For St. Paddy’s Day, let’s remember how lucky we are to be here. To be breathing. To be able to experience life, in any form that it presents itself. To view challenges as lessons and the happy moments as gifts. Below are a few quotes to help remind us what a miracle…
There are many points of focus we use in yoga to help hone our practice. When we begin a class, we focus on an intention. When we centre ourselves, we focus on the breath. When we do an asana, we focus the eyes on one point called the drishti. All of these points help us concentrate so that we can allow thoughts to settle. A mantra is another tool that we use to focus. A mantra is a sound or…

After another amazing activity filled weekend of the 200hr teacher training course at YogaHub, there are many things I could write about. On reflection, the most powerful of all activities that took place over the course of the weekend was my first experience of an “Osho Active Meditation” technique with Casey. Before I delve into the experience of the meditation itself, I must first outline a bit about the background of the man behind the practice. Who is Osho? Osho…

Last week when we detailed the Yamas, we broadly defined how a yogi is encouraged to behave morally in relationships. It was the first limb of Patanjali’s 8-fold path of yoga. It’s really important to note that these relationships encompass not only our relations with friends, family, and acquaintances, but the relationship we have with ourselves. As we detail the second half of the basic yogic principles, and the second limb of Patanjali’s 8-fold path, we go further into how…
A quote from Osho. “Tantra says: Existence is an orgasm, an eternal orgasm going on and on and on. It is forever and forever an orgasm, an ecstasy.” When the word tantra comes to mind, what may pop up are images of red silk sheets, ylang ylang massage oil, and a few hours at hand to unleash your deepest carnal fantasies. But that’s not what tantra is. Tantra is not about being flamboyantly sexual, or tantalizing a lover to…
If someone were to ask me, “What is yoga?” asanas, or the poses we do in class, would not be the first thing to come to mind. Yes, asanas are what make up a physical yoga practice, but they aren’t what define yoga as a whole. Back in the second century, B.C., a sage named Patanjali compiled the yoga sutras in order to define and detail the yogic life. This practice of yoga is known as the 8-fold path. Upon…
