Yoga

[davinjonesyoga]

Union - to unify the mental and physical. To balance and create the equilibrium through the differences of 'Ha' (Sun) and 'tha' (moon). 'Ha' - to heat and to express. Asana balances the body providing firmness on the exterior and softness on the interior. 'Tha' - to cool and to accept. Closely related to thought. Meditation settles the fluctuations of 'vritti' (thought waves) which obscure the perception of tranquility. Balancing the differences we create 'Sattva' - purity/peace an most importantly love. And through it all we realise these differences, how they relate and how they conflict.

#ekapadabakasana -------- To be Motivated for me comes from being Inspired. To be inspired by the people you meet, to the teachers who exude motivation with an underlying persistence of discipline. It's remarkable what our bodies are capable of, the moment you take that choice to act upon that inspiration it's funny how motivation manifests. --------- 📷 by the talented @icreatelife_ Leggings by @ohmmeyoga --------- #kangayoga #london #yoga #inspiredyogis #yogaeverydamnday

'Find stillness of breath and mind, and you'll feel peace in every pose - no matter where you are' ~ Indra Devi ------ Working on that elusive one handed handstand #OAHS. Once you have the strength to sustain and hold your weight, balance is now key. Weight placement and movement around the finger tips is an interesting experiment. ------- 📷 by @alesigismondi Photoshoot with @ohmmeyoga wearing Scorpion leggings. ------- #kangayoga #inspiredyogis #yogaeverydamnday #health #OAHS

Balance.... "Balance is the perfect state of still water. Let that be our model. It remains quiet within and is not disturbed on the surface." ~ Confucius ----- Balance certainly plays an integral role in our lives, whether it's adapting to the external environments around us, or to keep the intrinsic harmony of our health, diet, social life, it all requires an awareness of being the moderator. One of my first meditation teachers said "do things in moderation, even the moderator" - A suggestion which always challenges me to attain that ever variable scale of balance. What brings you balance in life? ------ 📷 from the photoshoot with @icreatelife_ ------ #kangayoga #inspiredyogis #health #balance #yogaeverydamnday #london

Baby #Titthibhasana ------ The main focus of my classes lately have been to really just accept. Accept what is, what may be. The more I deepen my yoga practice the more I realise yoga isn't about self-improvement I find it's teaching my to just self-accept. Is be interested to know, what is it you have learnt through your yoga practice? -------- 📷 by @radomako Leggings by @ohmmeyoga -------- #kangayoga #inspiredyogis #yogaeverydamnday #health #yoga #myyogalife

This photo was completely unplanned. The break dancer on the right approached us and asked if we could strike a pose together. This is how it turned out. Spontaneous moments prove to be quite special.
