Today is Guru Purnima, celebrated on the full moon, a day dedicated to honouring our teachers and all those who illuminate the path before us.

Each of us is shaped by those who have shared their knowledge, challenged our assumptions, encouraged us when we doubted ourselves, and quietly embodied the teachings through their own actions.

Today is an opportunity to pause with gratitude, for our teachers, past and present, for the privilege of being both a student and, for some, a teacher.

May we continue to learn with an open mind, practise with sincerity, and pass on what has been given to us with respect.

Happy Guru Purnima. 🙏

✨Better asana isn’t about harder postures or pushing harder. It’s about deeper attention.

✨Practice consistently. Slow down. Pause. Refine what is already there.

✨When we stop rushing from one posture to the next and begin noticing the subtle details, the practice deepens, and the postures evolve naturally as a result. ✨🌿

🔥We re-open in 2 weeks!
🔥Stay tuned!!

The Sanskrit word Nāvāsana (नावासन) comes from:

* Nāva (नाव) = boat
Āsana (आसन) = posture or seat

Appearing midway through the Primary Series or Yoga Chikitsa, Navasana is the vessel that works to keep us steady across the turbulent waters of life.
Lift the chest, strong back, lower belly in, feet, knees together... don't sink the boat!🛶
It asks that we cultivate inner fire, steadiness and discipline throughout all 5 navasanas, lifting up in between.
Firming our lower belly, yet maintaining ease in the breath.
Sthira (effort) and Sukha (ease) in balance as we navigate the sometimes difficult and choppy waters of life 🌊
