‘Why I can not miss one week of Yoga’

April 21, 2017realadmin_adminMindset, Movement

People practice Yoga for all different reasons, and they also don’t practice yoga for many different reasons. One of the reasons is they believe they might just fall asleep. I remember first practicing yoga it was a job requirement at the time so I thought oh gosh fine I will do it,

If I wanted the job which at the time was travelling around the world teaching people about health, I had to start learning and teaching yoga. I was always about hard and fast. If I wasn’t sweating, if I wasn’t groaning If I wasn’t in pain I wasn’t working hard enough. To then start practicing yoga was a complete shock. It took me around 6 weeks of practicing 3 times a week to finally let go of my ego and except this practice as it was. Doing what I was doing smashing my body, working 18 hours a day, always stressed and thinking negatively was only going to last so long. Every second week I needed a massage, I was always getting niggles and injuries but I had excepted this was just the norm.’Thats when it all changed for me’

Doing what I was doing smashing my body, working 18 hours a day, always stressed and thinking negatively was only going to last so long. Every second week I needed a massage, I was always getting niggles and injuries but I had excepted this was just the norm.

When I had finally excepted yoga practice and I let go of fighting it and just started being my whole life shifted. From the way I thought, the way I treated my body, the way I ate, the way I spoke and more and more success came my way.

I was living in harmony.

So whether you think yoga is not for you or is for you, give it a go more than once, and practice regularly. By doing yoga once a month only when you are feeling the tension and tightness will not serve a long term solution to your aches, pains or stress.

is not when you participate. Yoga is a practice for that reason you will engrave alignment, breath, strength, mindfulness and when practicing yin or even I Hatha is a practice that will leave you body just as if you came out of a massage.

I now breathe, among my stress and anxiety, eat differently, less worried, and feel a lot more energised because of this.

 

 

From yoga 101 
Simply put, yoga (the verb) is a practice.

 

By calling the process of joining the mind and body systems into one wholly integrated mind-body system a “practice” reiterates that perfection is relative and not a specific end-goal. Think about how often you hear someone say, “I am perfecting yoga.” Doing one yoga posture one time does not mean you are practicing yoga. The practice comes from consistently performing certain actions over time. This time frame will naturally lend itself to subtle changes in your environment, distraction level, mood shifts, bodily changes, and any number of other factors, which influence the experience of practice as it happens.

Which Yoga is best for you?

No matter what experience you have with yoga all our styles of yoga will be perfect. Our yoga instructors cater all classes for all abilities and experience. So you may think that your a beginner you need to do a slow flow? But thats not always the case. Find a yoga class that best suits you. I know we find a teacher which we prefer but to be honest I love the uniqueness of all yoga teachers. I would recommend doing two yoga sessions a week but starting with one is always a great start.

ZhenUnwind (Yin Yoga)is a delicious way to relax and soothe frayed nerves. This restorative class will use blankets and blocks to assist your body to experience the benefits of a pose without having to exert any effort. A good restorative class and more rejuvenating than a nap. If you are constantly getting massages try Yin Yoga its like giving your body a massage.

ZhenFlow – (Hatha Yoga) Get deep into stretches feel longer, leaner and stronger all at the same time. Perfect way to start or end the day. Best way to balance your stress levels.

Zhenenergy- (Vinyasa/Hatha Yoga)
The style of yoga is called Vinyasa. What it will do for you is beyond all aspects. Aiming to focus on lengthening, strengthening whole of body from back to pelvic floor to core to increasing strength around joints to allow you move better and function better.
A dynamic style of yoga but is suited for all abilities, all classes can be modified for beginners and also injuries- please let teachers know at the start of the class.

HOW TO EAT WITH AWARENESS 🤔 Being aware and mo HOW TO EAT WITH AWARENESS 🤔

Being aware and more present with our daily nutrition seems to be less and less common. What are some ways we can become more aware of what we eat?

1. Set an intention. How do you want to feel at the end of the day? Tired and lethargic? Or strong & healthy? If the answer is strong & healthy than packaged foods and sugar aren’t going to get you there.

2. Track your food. In order to become more aware we need to understand the calories that are coming in. By tracking your food you can understand what your food is made up of in terms of nutrient value.

3. Where your focus goes your energy will flow. Focus on consuming less processed more whole foods. Less alcohol more water. Increase your protein intake and your sugar consumption will naturally drop off. 

Combining these three things when deciding on meals for the day or week, writing a shopping list or when you are eating out with friends. These simple and very achievable guidelines will help you become more mindful and back on track after the festive season.

HOW TO STOP OVERCOMPLICATING YOUR NUTRITION With HOW TO STOP OVERCOMPLICATING YOUR NUTRITION

With the weight loss industry promoting new diets almost weekly that will shed fat, increase muscle mass, put you into ketosis, detox your organs, improve your physical performance and leave you feeling energised... But only if you exclude certain macronutrients, food groups or just eat meat and animal products only...?
It can be easy to see why people feel confused and lost when it comes to figuring out what they should eat. Today I am going to break it down into the 3 most important takeaways that will get you started on a healthy, balanced path:

1. Calories in VS calories out will always be top priority 🍉: if you eat more calories than you burn, your weight will increase and the inverse is true. Your goals will discern how much or how little you should be eating but by complying with your calorie limit, you will achieve the result you are after
2. Protein Protein Protein 🥩: we talk about it all the time but it is seriously one of the most neglected macronutrients even though it provides the most benefit by far. Protein not only resynthesises muscle which promotes growth (therefore increasing our caloric demand meaning we can eat more) but it also increases satiety, meaning when you consume enough protein, you don’t feel as hungry for the snacks or sweets that will derail you long term 
3. 80:20 Rule🍔: this one is my personal favourite and where most people get stuck. If eating 1 burger on a Saturday night with some friends is what helps you stick to your nutrition plan for the rest of the week, eat the burger. When we don’t allow ourselves to indulge in the things we love every now and then, we inevitably experience burnout and give up entirely. Just remember 80% whole food: 20% soul food.
