These 5 key Yoga poses are essential to your asana practice. Getting the alignment of these Yoga poses correct from the start, ensures a strong and stable foundation to your practice. Focus on the correct alignment, where you need to be engaging and where you need to be relaxing. Ensuring that you are holding your body in the correct shape of the pose and moving slightly deeper into the pose with each breath.

Remember to try to simulate the beautiful, strong, steady feeling of Tadasana (Mountain Pose) in all your other poses. Keep all the tips in mind as you hold each pose to constantly adjust the pose, constantly check in with your body and always make sure you are breathing deeply and fully.

"You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens." Louise Hay

This fascinating body of mine always supports me, allows me to play and giggle, allows me to breathe and connect, allows me to experience this life to the best of my ability... And I am SO unbelievably grateful for her!

What are you most grateful for with regards to your magnificent body?

Have you ever stood in the shower and thought "have I washed my hair already?" Arrived at work with no recollection of how you got there? This is us living on autopilot. And if we can do simple acts on autopilot, what else can we do so unconsciously? Have entire relationships on autopilot, live our entire lives?

This moment right now is all we have, there is nowhere else to be. This is where all our lessons live. This is where we have the power to direct our lives and fall madly in love with ourselves.

We all know that everything is made up of vibrations. Om is the vibration of the Universe. It is the sound and frequency that the entire Universe vibrates to. When we chant Om we are resetting our frequencies, our energy to this divine, Universal vibration. We are resetting the vibration of our body, mind and thoughts because these things are made up of vibration as well. We chant to reconnect with ourselves, this Universal energy, this divinity is inside you already. Chanting Om wipes the slate clean energetically. You can put your stuff to the side for a moment and connect with that divine energy and frequency that you are made up of. We chant Om to truly connect with ourselves, the true Self, the higher self.

Yoga Nidra is known as Yoga Sleep. It is that state between being asleep and wakefulness. When you are in this state you are very susceptible to positive affirmations, to relaxation and to harmony. The process of Yoga Nidra is for the person to lie down comfortably and purely listen to the teacher, making sure they do not fall asleep completely or wander off and think of something else. The student follows the teacher's voice into a deep state of rest and relaxation. Into a state of just being.

This Yoga Nidra Audio Class has been put together especially for you to help you reconnect with yourself and invite Self-Love and Self-acceptance into your life. 

Full Jivamukti Class and Yoga Nidra for Self-Love.

I had the exceptional opportunity to teach at my home studio, Living Yoga. 

This is a full Jivamukti class followed by a delicious Yoga Nidra all dedicated to how magnificent, powerful and wonderful YOU are. 

Indulge in this fantastic practice and give yourself the permission to radically accept yourself and fall madly in love with who you truly are. 

You are the most important human on this planet and this entire reality wouldn't exist without your remarkable Light.

As with all the practices we do in Yoga, like chanting Om, using pranayama and doing asana, Mula Bandha is all about sending energy UP! 

Mula Bandha has the immediate effect of creating a deep sense of mental relaxation relieving stress, tension and anxiety. Please remember, however, that ultimately Mula bandha is not a muscular contraction. It is an intense and continuous desire for connection with the divine, with a higher intention, with the spiritual; to such an extent that energy begins to flow upward towards the divine.
