Just as poetry uses words to go beyond language, yoga uses the body to go beyond form. - Jason Bowman - The thing that makes yoga YOGA - as opposed to stretchy exercise - is that we tap into the energy created by guiding our attention inwards, to the sensations, the thoughts, the patterns within, the unfolding and the unveiling of ourselves. And once we can see the patterns of the body, the patterns of the mind, we can start to release them. We start with gross movements, moving subtler and subtler as we become more aware and connected to our inner world. For some, this is a step by step process which really only becomes visible when they look back over time that has passed. For some it is intense, growth and expansion happening in leaps and bounds before things finally settle down. For all of us it is a practice, a thing we do with consistency in order for it to be of benefit to us in our lives. - Ultimately, it's about finding freedom by diving into the centre of things. #yogajourney #journeykeeper #yogateacher #yogajoy #thecenterofthings #thingsfallapartthecentrecannothold #yogagirl #yogalife #philosophyofyoga #selfstudy #selfobservation #meditation #suspensionyoga #flyhighyoga #fortheloveofyoga (at Lunula Yoga Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0-x653JuQF/?igshid=194tnopdq12np

Some workshops are just next level out of your comfort zone! Like Fran's CORE WORKSHOP the 20th of July @lunula_yogastudio (yes, levels of discomfort made me take this long to post this option). Like when the teacher says: Take your phone and put it on selfie mode 🤔 Put it so that you can see your chest and belly 😳 Roll your shirt up so that you can see better 😱 Now breathe this way... 😨 - But I have been practicing and breathing this way ever since! Thank you @fran_gipani_yogi for a brilliant workshop which was nothing that anyone expected but everything that we all need to know. - We are the only species that need to be taught how to breathe properly, but also how to run, eat, be respectful towards one another and our earth, and how to move our bodies. That is how disconnected we are from our physical existence; That is the the extent to which we have created a world that has made a whole bunch of things important which really isn't all that. We need to re-align ourselves to ourselves, and do shit that makes us next level uncomfortable. #learningtobreathe #deepcoreactivation #functionalcore #yogaworkshop #journeykeeper #hannahbowercoreguide #yogateacher #yogastudent #yogajoy #alwaysastudent #bodyawareness #selfcarelove (at Lunula Yoga Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0fTCI_nzv5/?igshid=41eshfuvepa6

Sometimes we get the ratio of life and magic, play and work, autonomy and fate, duty and desire, details and scope, just right. While we have it, we draw ourselves purposefully deeper into it with wonder and appreciation, applying to a multitude of questions and subjects until it starts to fade. Of course moments are just momentary, and shit will hit the fan at some point, but even through the muck and mire we remember that we are creating and living a life together, that sometimes there is space and softness to capture a moment, and sometimes there is anger and chaos. Whatever comes will go, and if we pay attention, whatever goes will teach. Maybe. But perhaps the purpose of it all is simply to experience and live it all knowing that it is perfect no matter what it is. Some days that is harder to remember. And that's ok too. #morningmeditations #yayasisterhood #journaling #creatingrituals #journeykeeper #homeschool #deeplearning #selfstudy #languagestudies #growthmindset #letstalkaboutit #raisinggirls #science https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ZGZHOJ8hP/?igshid=1ied8uls6ohe

Mother is the name of God on the lips and hearts of little children. - The Crow - The littlest monster gets into bed in the early hours pre dawn, and because she was snotty the previous night I ask her how is she feeling. She answers: uhm.... Loved. I feel loved. I always feel loved. She never gives an answer I expect, but it's always the answer that blows me away and which I absolutely need to hear. - The eldest little monster is a pre-teen. She comes in when the sun comes up and asks if we can chat. And then we talk about the deeper things that the Highly Sensitive ones deal with, like why are some kids mean, and why don't some people like us being vegan or homeschooling. It's deep, it's long, and I rarely have enough answers, but we keep connecting. - Our family has taken a lot of strain over the past year or two. Some of it expected, a lot of it unnecessary. They understand the value of what I do but not always why our schedule has to be compromised. They have been so patient. They are pretty fantastic and although stretched, nothing has been broken. I think it's time we stopped stretching and bending backwards so very very much though. I think we need to remember that we are our first priority. I think we need to reset our equilibrium and be the example we preach. #raisinggirls #yayasisterhood #journeykeeper #wildwomanrising #soulgrowth #priority #selfcare #selflove #family #soulful_moments #earlymornings #settingboundaries #clarity https://www.instagram.com/p/BzTBl2vpu1d/?igshid=1stkboypva9sp
