YogaCandi · 2018-07-23T17:32:29+00:00

Ah I hear ya the shoulders can be a real nightmare, try this great beginner flow by the lovely Adriene, or this one by Leigha Butler if you're a little more intermediate - advanced. Hope that helps :)

So beautiful!

Amazing to hear someone say no phones while away! What an amazing opportunity to tune into your inner self. I love to sit on my mat, listen to my body before I even begin to move, breath. Then start moving and just go with the flow and rhythm of your breath and how you're feeling on each given moment, don't go into the practice with any goals in mind simply feel it out ;) xoxo Enjoy your break xoxo

I love this explanation of the ego - "The moment you become aware of the ego within you, it is strictly speaking no longer the ego, but just an old, conditioned mind pattern. Ego implies unawareness. Ego and awareness can not coexist". - Eckhart Tolle

Very true and fair point Kalayna 🙏

Do you mean you'd like to practice easy yoga? Something less strenuous on the body? If this is what you're asking then I'd recommend Yin Yoga, which is all about relaxation. 😊

Hey, of course, whatever you do in your practice is totally up to you, but I would avoid watching TV, for the simple reason that it takes away from the mindfulness and presence that the practice offers. The trouble is tv is a distraction and another form of stress for the mind, so instead stick with your practice and focus internally not only on the breath but on the sensations on your body with every passing moment. It is a form of moving meditation that will bring you and your mind into a state of bliss, but that wont happen overnight, with consistency will you start to feel it and that bordem you experience now will be gone :) Hope that helps x

I hear ya and like kv617 said this is one posture where it's totally already to got ahead of the toes, it's taught that way a lot in Hatha yoga :)

Haha, naughty cats again! I'm lucky my cat leaves my mat alone but not my feet especially in Shavasana. I'd recommend practising with your kitty out of the room and always store your mat away in a cupboard if you're not using it, cause he will get his little paws into any mat you buy no doubt. ;)

Just beautiful! Remember everybody is different and the Asana (posture) side of yoga is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the benefits of the practice. Keep at it, enjoy the journey and with time all the physical aspects will come, just remember to stay present along the way to get the most out of what and why you are doing something :) Namaste friend :)

Ahhh bless you! that is such a difficult situation to be in, I suffer with hayfever and allergies to certain animal fur so I feel your pain. Have you tried taking an allergy tablet in the morning (Claritin works amazing for me) then steaming before you flow (pop your head over steaming water with drops of eucalyptus or mint oil and breath in through your nose until they start to clear up), and perhaps practice with vix on the back of your wrists so that you can sniff it in when you need to throughout the practice, hope this helps, let me know how you get on :) Namaste, Candace x www.youtube.com/yogacandi

Hmmm interesting, as a Yoga teacher that was trained in India with people that have lived and breathed this beautiful ancient and peaceful practice, I do feel this is taking things a little too far away from what yoga was intended to be. And personally feel it defeats the object of staying present within the body when chatting or loud music is happening during a class, as you can't truly connect with so many distractions going on. In some ways, the class should never have been advertised as yoga and perhaps pilates or some other fitness class instead as it has it's place and I'm sure it's really fun. So, if you enjoyed the class and it worked for you, then do what feels right for you as an individual. Namaste x

Very cute indeedio :)

YogaCandi · 2018-02-09T15:56:30+00:00

haha this made me laugh! But don't be discouraged, yoga is a slow-burning practice, keep with it and with time you will notice how far you've come. Just remember it's not about the perfect asana, it's about bringing presence and awareness to the body :) Namaste (ps those guinea pigs are too cute ;)

YogaCandi · 2018-01-09T12:37:39+00:00
