Get grounded with Muladhara ā€“ The Root Chakra

By Asana, Ayurveda, Dublin, Healthy, Meditation, Mindfulness, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

Muladhara The root chakra, or Muladhara, is located at your tailbone, and extends to include your legs and feet. Representing the beginning of your spiritual development, the root chakra is literally your root, your base, there to ground you. Representing who you are at your core, who and what you trust, and your sense of belonging and tradition, the root chakraā€™s desire is survival, self-sufficiency, and stability. It governs how we deal with things like family, money, basic needs, and…

The Importance of Counterposes in Yoga

By Dublin, Motivational, Teachers, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

One important aspect of yoga that is a rarely explained yet consistent feature of any class is the correct sequencing of counterposes. Used to neutralize the effects of certain strenuous (and some not so strenuous!) or deeply-held asanas, counterposes are vital to ensure we not only receive maximum pranic (energetic) benefits from our practice, but also to physically balance out our muscles, tissues and joints to avoid over-extension and return our bodies back to their natural state. Counterposes in YogaĀ …

5 Things I’ve learned from a Daily Meditation Practice

By Matt Quigley, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Wellbeing, Yoga

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…

By Dublin, Ireland, Motivational, Teachers, Wellbeing, Yoga

Iā€™m a Shiny New Yoga Teacher – Hereā€™s 5 Things I Know (And More Importantly Some Things I Donā€™t Know) The first thing you will realise at the beginning of any yoga teacher training course, no matter how many years youā€™ve been practicing yoga or in how many different countries youā€™ve travelled, classes youā€™ve attended or new styles youā€™ve tried, is how little you actually know about it.

What a Month in India Taught Me About Yoga

By Ireland, Mindfulness, Yoga

What a Month in India Taught me About Yoga * Before I begin I want to make clear that the views expressed here are purely objective and that Iā€™m only going on what I experienced, not an in-depth study or survey. ā€˜What are the differences between practicing yoga in the West and practicing in India?ā€™ This is a question Iā€™ve been asked quite regularly in recent weeks, having embarked on a solo trip with no definitive end on the basis…
