❓Are online yoga classes effective? ℹ Yes, online classes can be effective, especially for those with busy schedules. Just as with in-person classes, it's essential to choose a teacher and style that resonates with you, otherwise it will be challenging to practice regularly. Plus, make sure you have a safe and distraction-free space and treat your online class as if you were going out to join a class, i.e. set time aside in your schedule. And be realistic: if 1 hour seems too much to fit in: rather aim for 30 mins twice a week? You might also want to try morning VS evening or during your lunch break even. We all have different times of day when we are either more mentally active, physically or when we feel more energized in general. My personal recommendation for online classes is @yoga_with_kassandra Yoga With Kassandra (I'm in no way affiliated with her or get paid for this tag, it is simply my very own go-to for online practices). I'd love to hear in the comments of your favourite online teacher or studio! #askmeanything #yourquestionsanswered #onlineyogaclasses #yogawithkassandra #kassandrareinhardt #namaskarayoga #yogainpringlebay

ℹ️ Your questions answered! Every Wednesday I'm going to share answers to your questions. Keep asking me anything you've always wanted to know about all things yoga, meditation, stillness! ❓ How is yoga different from meditation? Yoga "asanas" (poses) and meditation are both parts of the larger umbrella of the yogic teachings, which go far beyond only a physical practice. In fact, asanas were designed to encourage meditation, by promoting flexibility to sit for long periods of time and the mental strength to handle that. Yoga itself is also quite meditative, and can be thought of as a moving or embodied meditation. Some yoga classes will also include a meditation at the beginning or end. #yourquestionsanswered #askmeanything #namaskarayoga #yogainpringlebay #youaskianswer #everyquestiondeservesananswer

Have you ever wondered what certain terms in yoga mean? And whether standing on one's head makes a good yogi? Or what's with the chanting? And why is stillness so important? Why are there SO many types of yoga and meditation out there? Is yoga a religion? I invite you to ask - because if it's a thought or question in your head then it's worth asking!

Emotions and experiences move through and in our body. Conscious movement is a personal exploration of what is going on inside of us - and you decide how far you want to travel, how deep you want to dive. The sessions are based on Gabrielle Roth’s “5Rhythms” - a beautifully created map to everywhere you want to go, on all levels of your being. No experience required - you do you! Looking forward to moving with you! 🌺🥰🥳 #consciousmovement #5rhythms #emotionsmovethroughus #namaskarayoga #thisweekinpringlebay #yogainpringlebay #selfologylivelearngrow #gabrielleroth

What other ways of breathing are there? Through our breath we can give our nervous system what it needs: we inhale = activation, shifting things through inhale-awareness exhale = calming, preparing for sleep, relaxation, peace. retention = at first activating then calming. Here’s something you might like to try: ⏸ breathe with inhalation of same lengths as exhalation, let’s say count slowly to 4 as you breathe in and count again slowly to 4 as you exhale. 🔼 picture a triangle: breathe in the left side, breathe out down the right side and hold your breath as you move from right to left corner, then inhale again. Try to keep all 3 parts of equal length. ⏹ picture a square / box: each side is of equal length, so are all 4 parts of your breathing cycle: in - hold - out - hold ⏺ play with holding your breath in (internal retention) and holding your breath after your exhalation (external retention). #whythewaywebreathematters #namaskarayoga #pranayama #ownyourbreathandnoonecanstealyourpeace #mentalwellbeing #emotionalwellbeing #physicalwellbeing #exhalation #inhalation #retention #connectwithyournervoussystem #yogainpringlebay

What is proper breathing? SLOW - DEEP - REGULAR - WITH EASE 1. And -of course!- through your nose! Breathing through your mouth is connected to your nervous system's fight, flight, freeze reaction. It's not possible to breathe deeply through your mouth. Give it a try! --- Take a slow and long breath through your nose. And then a slow and long breath through your mouth.

🧘 So what happens when we bring our nervous system into a regulated state? 😩 We guide ourselves away from feeling depleted, stressed, anxious, tired and depressed. 💗 our heart rate slows down 🏥 lower heart rate signals to our liver: "we need less cortisol" -> lower cortisol levels 🥗 lower cortisol levels = more alkaline = less inflammation 🏋️ reduced inflammation = body has more capacity to deal with our HEALTH: digestion, absorbing nutrients, immune system is strong and efficient. 🏋️ The pace of our breath affects our nervous system. By regulating our nervous system we move from feeling depleted, tired, stressed and anxious towards feeling energized, balanced with mental clarity.

🌬 HOW DO OUR ACTIVITIES, THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS AFFECT OUR BREATHING? All activities and situations throughout our day influence our NERVOUS SYSTEM. they trigger an autonomic reaction. And again – that’s good, but running on autopilot all the time...well, not so good, right? Like food: it’s important to know what nourishes us and what gives our body what it actually needs, so we can always come back to that after indulging or eating too little / too irregular. That’s where breathing properly comes in: because our breath is the only function of our body that is autonomous AND can be controlled! Breathing properly helps us to regulate our nervous system. To take over from the autopilot. Because we can! #whythewaywebreathematters #livelearngrow #namaskarayoga #breathingexcercises #factsaboutbreathing #breathisoursuperpower #pranayama #lifeforce #becausewecan #knowledgeispower #knowyourhealth #ownyourhealth #autonomousnervoussystem #yogainpringlebay #selfology

🌬 What affects our breath? Activities influence our breath. Physical, of course, but also mental activities like our thoughts and concentration. As well as our emotional activities: excitement, sadness, anger….every emotion has a corresponding breathing pattern! The only emotion that leads to a calm breathing pattern is contentment. None of that is neither bad or good, it’s normal, it is what it is. That’s life and we’re actually not THAT fragile! It’s just good to know, so we can understand and support ourselves with compassion and kindness. #namaskarayoga #whythewaywebreathematters #breathisyoursuperpower #breatheproperly #breathingexcercises #pranayama #ancientwisdom #healyourself #yogainpringlebay #yogapractice #yogaismorethanposes

Have you ever found yourself getting in your car, arriving at the parking lot, and wondering how you got there? It's common to find ourselves disconnected when we do the same things over and over every day. However, being on autopilot takes us away from the beauty and the gift of the present moment. Driving a car on autopilot is one thing, however, navigating our emotions and thought processes on autopilot (i.e. the way we’ve just always dealt with them), can lead to getting stuck in them. Getting stuck emotionally or mentally can show often up as tension in our body. A very simple and powerful way to practice presence is by taking a conscious breath, or two. As often as you want to, remember to and need to. #breathe #whythewaywebreathematters #consciousbreathing #beingpresent #presentmoment #arriveinthepresence #liveinthepresentmoment #thepresentmomentisallwehave #namaskarayoga #yogainpringlebay

I am deeply grateful for Julia and Lionel to allow my sessions to carry on while I'm travelling Europe in a camper van. 🙃 I'll be joining in spirit. ⭐ Please note: *NO YOGA* on Tuesday 26th September. All other weekly sessions are on. Much love and sparkles! 🐬 #yogainpringlebay #selfologylivelearngrow #yogaatselfology #whatsonpringlebay #namaskarayoga
I'm so excited to be able to invite you once again to honour one of my favourite times of the year: the Equinox - when day and night are of equal length. Please do join if this calls you: Thursday 21st September, 6-8pm. And, of course, we honour this cosmic balance in our yoga practice on Tuesday as well. May you all find balance and harmony in your lives. ☯🕊⭐ #yogainpringlebay #equinoxweek #namaskarayoga #yogapractice #consciousmovement #teaceremony #meditation #equinoxcelebration #innerlightandinnerdarkness #balanceandharmony
