Sun Breath

March 15, 2015 by charlotte bradley

I call this  lovely little pranayama sequence Sun Breath, but I am not really sure if that is the official name or I just made it up! I also sometimes call it Mountain Breath and have heard it referred to as Half Sun Salutation. Whatever the name, it is a really nice way to start your yoga […]

An Intention Vinyasa

February 25, 2015 by charlotte bradley

An Intention Vinyasa

Try this Intention Vinyasa (from Nancy Gerstein’s book –  Guiding Yoga’s Light) to help you set an intention for your yoga practice or your day. Focus on synchronizing your breath with movement. Let an intention come to you organically. It may be a word or a phrase. Bring your awareness back to your intention throughout your […]

Support Your Pigeon with a Bolster

February 8, 2015 by charlotte bradley

I love pigeon pose! In this video I am going to show you how to do sleeping pigeon. Then I will demonstrate how to use a block to support your head or (my favourite!) a bolster to support your torso. This makes it a really restorative yoga pose and allows you to hold the pose […]

Thread the Needle Pose

December 10, 2014 by charlotte bradley

Thread the needle pose is a great way to open the shoulders and upper back. It also involves a slight twist which helps to detoxify and calm. It is a simple and gentle posture but one that I really enjoy. Include Thread the Needle as part of a warmup series for a longer practice. It’s also nice […]

Learning to Love Half Moon Pose

September 2, 2014 by Charlotte Bradley

Half Moon pose (Ardha Chandrasana) is a challenging pose for me. I find the balancing difficult. And the fact that I can’t do it well, makes me want to do it even less. This seems like a loud and clear call to practice half moon! Not quite in love with this pose yet but we’re working […]

Try a Steam Inhalation to Clear Your Sinuses and Relax

February 8, 2014 by Charlotte Bradley

I have been feeling a little run down and congested this past little while (it has been a long winter and it’s not over yet!) One of my favourite things to do when I am feeling like this is a steam inhalation. It is really relaxing, helps to open up the sinuses and just feels […]

6 Reasons to Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing

September 18, 2009 by Charlotte Bradley

Deep breathing is one of the easiest ways to improve your quality of life. The average adult uses only one third of their lung capacity. Chronic tension and poor posture also contribute to poor breathing and thus poor health. Many of us come to yoga as what is sometimes termed “chest breathers.”  We breathe from […]

How to do the Seal Pose

July 26, 2009 by Charlotte Bradley

Yesterday evening I went to an amazing Yin yoga class. I’ve been doing some strength oriented exercise classes lately and so have felt a bit tight in my lower back. In last night’s class we did the Seal Pose, which is the Yin version of Bhujangasana (Cobra). There are however a couple of differences. Your […]

July 12, 2009 by Charlotte Bradley

Wondering where to find yoga and meditation music? A couple of days ago I wrote a post about Nada Yoga and using sound to meditate. @marcusunlimited sent me a note via Twitter recommending his yoga music with a link to his video on YouTube. He has created an album: YMU, Yoga Music Unlimited – The […]
