Earthing in Autumn…at Night

October 23, 2016 by William Ferro

Earthing in Autumn…at Night

“Earthing…” You’ve heard of it, right? It’s a way we crunchy granola types refer to walking barefoot outdoors. It’s a wonderful practice that connects you bodily to the earth. Through the soles of your feet, the earth that gives you life, that nourishes you, interacts with your body directly. By walking mindfully this way, we […]

Chill Out Yoga

May 5, 2016 by charlotte bradley

Chill Out Yoga

It has been one hectic week. Between kids, appointments, work, a friend in the hospital plus all the regular day-to-day stuff … it feels like I have been running around non-stop. And I am pretty sure that I am not alone in this experience. If not this week, I bet you have had your own […]

Experimenting with Essential Oils and Yoga

Experimenting with Essential Oils and Yoga

I love essential oils. I have a few favourites that I always have around. I keep lavender to put on our pillows at night before bed. My boys will ask for it now if I forget! I like the energizing effects of peppermint. And I am addicted to the sensual scent of ylang ylang. One of our […]

Pause to Breathe in Awareness

July 2, 2014 by William Ferro

Pause to Breathe in Awareness

Breathing is something of a miracle. Without any conscious effort, we breathe continuously over a lifetime, sustaining our lives. When we become aware of this remarkable process, we can derive a great deal of pleasure from it. Simply pausing to breathe in and out in awareness is a source of great enjoyment.

Try This: Free Write

October 4, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

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, […]

The Importance of a Time Out

August 9, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

The Importance of a Time Out

We all know that taking time to ourselves is vital when it comes to rejuvenation of the spirit and body. Sadly, many of us don’t take our vacation time every year or we take time off only to spend that time clearing out our houses and crossing things off the “Honey Do List” that we […]

An Awesome Yogi Resource

An Awesome Yogi Resource

When your job involves spending several hours a day on the computer, like mine does, inevitably, your mind will occasionally wander. And when my mind begins to demand something other than the written word, I tend to cruise the web for websites that promote my other interests, like yoga of course! And, when writing for […]

Will Yoga Help You Catch Some Zzzs?

April 11, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

Will Yoga Help You Catch Some Zzzs?

I am quite possibly the worst bed partner anyone could ever hope to have. I am a painfully light sleeper, am woken by the tiniest of sounds and wake up a million times a night, my mind restless with thoughts (combined with a tiny bladder). It also takes me eons to finally slip into slumber […]

Dealing with Loss and Grief through Yoga

August 31, 2010 by Sean Rogders

Dealing with Loss and Grief through Yoga

The Holy Longing Tell a wise person, or keep silent, because the massman will mock it right away. I praise what is truly alive, what longs to be burned to death. In the calm water of the love-nights, where you were begotten, were you have begotten, a strange feeling comes over you when you see […]

Dolphin Breath

December 14, 2009 by Charlotte Bradley

Dolphin Breath

I have been having some great yoga/martial arts training sessions recently with my karate instructor, Kyoshi John Leroux. We usually begin with a warm-up to get our heart rates elevated then do a few yoga poses and finish up by going through kata(a series of karate moves in a fixed pattern) and self defense techniques.
