How are you making space for new beginnings?

By Katie Phelps: As the days begin to get longer, leaves unfurl and the sunshine grows warmer, I’ve started to feel a low hum of springtime energy. It’s definitely more muted this year, dampened by the exhaustion we’ve all felt after living with our nervous systems on high alert for a year. But like this primal response to stress, the pull of spring, the desire for lightness and clarity seem similarly hard-wired; almost despite ourselves we start clearing out clutter, opening windows wider, organising our sock drawers...or at least recognising the desire to do those things.

The Magic of Hot Yoga in September

By Suze Suchak: I practise hot yoga all year round. There are so many benefits, instant ones and some that take a few years of regular practice to come about. I personally love the heat. It makes me slow down and focus. It seeps into my muscles and relaxes them. It feels like it oils the joints. I sweat buckets, all that stuff the body needs to get rid of. Read More

By Derek Elliott: Something amazing happens when we sleep. Most of the neurons in the brain have a companion cell called a glial cell. In deep sleep these cells shrink, giving space in the brain for cerebrospinal fluid to wash the brain and flush out any metabolic refuge left by the day’s neural activity.

Journey to Wheel Pose

By Susanne Kaesbauer: As a student of yoga, it’s easy to see some postures as more advanced or difficult. There were times when I avoided certain postures completely because I thought I didn’t have what it takes to get into the posture. Read More
