Hi I started practicing yoga about 2012 and my yoga instructor was leaving town so I searched everywhere for a yoga instructor close by but couldn’t find one so I gave it serious thought when I couldn’t find one and I decided to become a yoga instructor myself and haven’t looked back and in that journey I also discovered that my Kophosis (rounded shoulders) and my scoliosis which was genetic was getting better also my flexibility was improving as well The yoga school (Knoff Yoga) in which I did my training was fantastic. I enjoy helping people to reap the benefits of yoga to me it is a great learning adventure where we discover ourselves and what we are capable of. It is a crazy busy world where we always busy so we just have to make time for ourselves so we can be the best person that we can be.

WHAT IS KINDNESS?
Kindness is showing you care, doing some good to make life better for others. It is being thoughtful about people’s needs. Kindness is showing love and compassion to someone who is sad or needs your help. Kindness is treating yourself and others gently. It is caring about the earth and all living things.
Kindness means that we recognize that others are fragile-- that we have the power to hurt or heal them--and we choose to be healers. When we are kind, we don't take advantage of our power or of other people's vulnerabilities. Instead, we seek to comfort, encourage and strengthen those around us.

To be kind requires empathy: we must consciously attune ourselves to the life experience of another being to know what will feel good for them. Kindness builds confidence, because it lets us see others in all of their complicated, needy humanity, rather than putting them on pedestals.
Kindness does not ask whether it will be repaid. Even so, our kindness often ripples through the world around us; it invites others to be kind in turn.
WHY PRACTICE IT?
Without kindness, no one would listen when people or animals need help. Everyone would be looking out for himself. The world is lonely without kindness. When someone reaches out to another in an act of kindness, it helps them both. People’s lack of kindness to the earth damages the air, water and the land. This causes people and animals to suffer, too. Being kind allows us to feel connected to everything and everyone.

Here are 3 key insights to know about the difference between nose and mouth breathing.

Number 2 is important for parents!

1 - Breathing using your nose will ensure you get nearly 20% more oxygen into the muscles, brain and organs, compared to using your mouth. A nice all day breath is inhale / exhale out of the nose, this can be done when working at the computer or driving. With nose breathing you can access the lower lungs, making for a fuller breath. 👍

2 - Nose breathing is important for kids and jaw formation. When the jaw is forming the tongue is used as a mould. If the kids are mouth breathing, the jaw is open the tongue is drawn back, making for a pointy bottom jaw where the teeth fight to grow. You can end up with expensive trips to the orthodontist & a less oxygenated child.

3 - Teaching yourself to nose breath while you sleep, will increase your chances of a more restorative sleep. Lots of healing gets done when we sleep so it’s important to fill the body full of useful oxygen when sleeping.

The shower is a good place to give your nose a clean out both nostrils. Breath in the nose, then check both nostrils are clear.

Feel free to share this useful info with a friend!

See you on the mat 🙂 🙏

WHAT IS INTEGRITY?
Integrity is standing up for what you believe is right, living by your highest values. It is being honest and sincere with others and yourself. You are integrous when your words and actions match. You don’t fool yourself into doing what you know is wrong. You fill your life and your mind with things that help you to live a good, clean life.
Integrity means being true to ourselves and being honest, upright, and decent in our dealings with others. When we are guided by integrity, our thoughts and words are in line with

each other; our actions align with our principles. Our conduct speaks for us, more eloquently than words ever could. It becomes the basis for both reputation and self-respect. Integrity demands courage but delivers untroubled sleep.
Developing integrity requires internal honesty, because we can’t be honest with others unless we are honest with ourselves. It requires self-awareness, since we cannot accurately communicate what we do not know.
People of integrity can be counted on to stand up for what it right, even if it is unpopular, and to behave with honor even when there is no one around to see. Integrity allows other people to trust us because they know that we value our commitments and seek to live by them. It is one of the cornerstones of loving relationships and shared endeavors.

WHAT IS FRIENDLINESS?
Friendliness is being a friend. It is taking an interest in other people. It is going out of your way to make others feel welcome or to make a stranger feel at home. When you are friendly, you happily share your belongings, time, ideas, and feelings. You share the good times and the bad times together. Friendliness is the best cure for loneliness.
Friendliness is being open toward other people, taking the risk of inviting them into relationship with you. It means being curious, warm and inviting toward people you don't know well and letting yourself be vulnerable and interdependent with people you do.
When we are friendly, our starting assumption is that others are well-intentioned and open to reciprocity, and that we can learn from them. This does not mean we are naively oblivious to the fact that generous assumptions may be wrong--and definitely will be at times. Rather, friendliness means that in the absence of evidence to the contrary we assume the best, and even when evidence is mixed we tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. Because our expectations are often self-fulfilling, friendliness maximizes the richness of our relationships.
WHY PRACTICE IT?
Friendliness keeps you and others from feeling lonely or left out. It helps people feel that they belong. When something good or bad happens, it feels good to share it with a friend. Friendships don’t just happen – they are made by people who are willing to be themselves with each other.

'If you want a plant to thrive you focus your attention on it. You water, w**d and fertilize it. You make sure it has the right amount of sun and adjust the temperature according to its needs. You might even talk to it from time to time.

If you want the plant to die, do the opposite, i.e. withdraw your attention. Ignore it.

Many plants (and some people) are w**ds and they may not be contributing positively to your life.

If you have resentment towards someone and it is causing you grief, then you are watering the plant.

Being unwilling to forgive is an indication you are allowing your mind to control you.

Your body is the hardware, your mind is the software and the spirit is the programmer.

You are not your body and you are not your mind.

You are spirit.

Forgiveness is not easy, but re-directing your focus is.

Whenever you find yourself ruminating over past injustice or injury, use this mantra to shift your attention to something positive, so that the negative can eventually be eradicated.

I am the force within.
What I am is eternal, immortal, universal and infinite.
What I am has beauty and strength.
This day is my day and all that I pull to me is for my highest evolution and growth.

“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.” Catherine Ponder

“You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.” Lewis B. Smedes

The aim of Yoga is Self-realization, to overcome all kinds of sufferings leading to 'the state of liberation' (Moksha) or 'freedom' (Kaivalya).

Only you can liberate your mind and I wish you the greatest success.' James E Bryan

WHAT IS DILIGENCE?
Diligence is working hard and doing the best job you possibly can. When you are diligent, you take special care to do things step by step. You think and move carefully to make sure things will turn out right. Being diligent is being industrious, giving all you have to give to whatever you do.
Diligence is the earnest, conscientious application of our energy to accomplish what we’ve undertaken. When we are diligent, we pay careful attention to detail and are dedicated to achieving quality results.

Diligence means that we are continually working toward our goals, making use of what resources and opportunities are available. We are vigilant to avoid errors and to stay focused on the task at hand. Our diligence provides a basis for people trusting us with jobs that are tricky or complicated and also important to them. Diligence does not rely on talent, but employs commitment, industry, and perseverance to transform vision into reality.
WHY PRACTICE IT?
Without diligence, people act lazy and don’t get much done. They act as if what they do doesn’t count, rush through it or just do the least amount possible. Diligence helps you to get things done with excellence and enthusiasm. Diligence leads to success. When you are diligent about the things you do, people rely on you and trust you to give your best effort.

WHAT IS DETACHMENT?
Detachment is experiencing your feelings without allowing your feelings to control you. It is choosing how you will act in a situation rather than just reacting. With detachment you are free to do only what you choose to do. Detachment is using thinking and feeling together, so you can make smart choices.
WHY PRACTICE IT?
People never know what to expect from someone who is not detached. Without detachment, you just react and let your feelings control you. Anger can pop out without warning. With detachment you don’t have to react. You can decide what you are going to do. Detachment brings self- confidence. It helps you to be moderate. It helps you to be your best self.

WHAT IS COURAGE?
Courage is personal bravery in the face of fear. It is doing what needs to be done even when it is really hard or scary. Courage is going ahead even when you feel like giving up. Courage is needed in trying new things. It is admitting mistakes and then doing the right thing. Courage is the strength in your heart.

Courage is summoning strength in the face of life's difficulties or, sometimes, life's horrors. It means proceeding in spite of pain, cost, or risk. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the deliberate decision that action is necessary regardless. Courage acknowledges uncertainty, but perseveres because of conviction and resolve. It offers us focus and self-possession so we can call up our competencies to meet our challenges.
Courage is not necessarily an outward act of heroism; it can be purely internal, such as making the decision to be cheerful in grief, to adhere to values different from those around us, or to give something another try.
Webster’s Dictionary: The quality or state of mind or spirit enabling one to face danger or hardship with confidence and resolution.
WHY PRACTICE IT?
Without courage, people would only do what is easy. No one would try new things. Everyone would do what everyone else is doing, to avoid standing out – even if they knew it was wrong. Fear would be in charge. With courage, you can face any situation. Courage helps you to do great things.

Have you ever heard of earthing? The first time I ever heard this was shockingly in Children's Hospital by a cardiologist.

My little guy was just placed on a heavy duty blood thinner to keep the shunt in his heart flowing, but the risks of him stroking had me panicking. One evening his cardiologist came by to check on him and I was asking a long list of questions and some how we ended up on the topic of earthing to keep the blood thin.

I have since learned that the earth has a mild negative charge to it and over time, especially now days, our bodies build up a positive charge. Direct contact with the earth can even out this positive charge and return the body to a neutral state.
Simply hanging out barefoot has been known to help
Chronic fatigue.
Chronic pain.
Anxiety and depression.
Sleep disorders.
Cardiovascular disease. Results of one treatment study found that long-term self-administered grounding therapy helped to reduce blood pressure levels in participants with hypertension.

Pretty fascinating!

Are you already a barefoot walker?🌱

This week's philosophy theme is commitment.

Commitment is caring deeply about something or someone. It is the willingness to give your all to a friendship, a task, or something you believe in. It is the ability to make decisions and follow through on them. It is keeping your promises.
Commitment is the state of being bound--emotionally, intellectually, or both--to a particular person or course of action. Commitment starts with a choice (ideally thoughtfully made and aligned with virtuous purpose) and is sustained by dedication and perseverance. Commitment is active – it is expressed and realized in our thoughts and actions.

Commitment is more than just obligation – it is a giving of ourselves, sometimes at high personal cost or risk, to a person or purpose that we find worthy of that gift. Like other forms of giving, commitment can produce some of life's greatest satisfactions.
