Be your own Inspiration

December 13, 2013 by Anne-Marie

Be your own Inspiration

Embarking onto a new path, can be extremely intimidating.  There is the fear of what if? The fear of the unknown.   We are often our own worst enemy, doubting our own ability, making excuses of why something is not happening today.  However, research shows that simply by visualizing the future that we desire, we […]

Taking a Moment to Feel Focused

Taking a Moment to Feel Focused

  Taking a Moment to Feel Focused If my mind is feeling particularly scattered, I find that the best solution is to take a deep cleansing breathe and follow a series combining both balancing and grounding poses. Meditation is often praised as the top technique to use when feeling overwhelmed and/or anxious.  However, I find […]

Aid Digestion and Ground Yourself with Hero Pose

Fall is the perfect time to take a moment, regroup and connect to the things that are important in ourlives.  As we embark onto this season, I am reminded to take a breathe and watch the beauty that surrounds me.  It is entrancing with the colourful leaves, brisk winds and seasonal smells.  It also reminds […]

Sphinx, Cobra and Upward Facing Dog

August 15, 2013 by Anne-Marie

Sphinx, Cobra and Upward Facing Dog

The Beginner Back bends  I was completely baffled about the differences (and similarities) between these three poses.  In a yoga class, these three poses are often used interchangeably. But do you know the difference between the three? I know that for the longest time, I didn’t. Sphinx, cobra and upward facing dog are all excellent […]

Try This: Free Write

Try This: Free Write

In my creative writing program, I have one professor who is very fond of free writing exercises, which basically teaches us to write without thinking too much. Just write what comes to you and then hone it later and turn it into something special. At first, I found this kind of writing to be annoying, […]

Find a Little Joy

September 20, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

Find a Little Joy

Remember these days, when finding joy was as simple as twirling in the living room with your friends? Where a game of tag was a carefree escape and Kool-Aid was all you needed to instantly uplift a day? But in a world where horrendous acts are splayed across the daily news reel, bills pile up […]

When You’re Too Frazzled for Yoga

When You’re Too Frazzled for Yoga

Above, I introduce you to Pot Roast, my new English Bull Terrier puppy, taken at 5 weeks (he’s now 11 weeks old). He is both adorable, annoying and crazy, all at the same time. And don’t get my wrong, ladies and gents, I love the little guy to bits, but it’s been a bit of […]

Can Willing It Make It So?

Can Willing It Make It So?

We’ve all heard about the benefits of positive thinking. Some argue that without it, nothing is possible. Some say that no matter what, fate will take its course and there is nothing we can do to stop it. Others believe that if they want it, they will find a way to make it happen and […]

Yoga For Your iPod

Yoga For Your iPod

Can Meditating Be Dangerous?

Can Meditating Be Dangerous?

In other posts, I’ve mentioned my troubles with meditation and the struggle I have to achieve that blissful mental state. However, I’ve been practicing a lot more, specifically before I got to bed, when my mind tends to race. At Christmas I received a meditation CD and haven’t really given it a run for it’s […]
