Dancing Lotus Yoga

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and renewal with this yoga retreat set in the birthplace of Yoga, amidst the serene surroundings of the Ganges River and the Himalayan foothills. Delve into the rich culture and traditions of India while deepening your practice or starting a new one. Join me from March 7 to 20, 2025, in the sacred mountain towns of Hardiwar and Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. Reserve your spot today and let the unfolding of your own transformation begin. For more information, please go to dancinglotusyoga.com or contact me directly.

For all you adventurous spirits, having a human experience: we have extended our registration deadline until September 30th. If you would like further information, please visit www.dancinglotusyoga.com ❤️🙏🏽 you won’t regret it.

NEWS FLASH ❤ As Baba Hari Dass Says, “The path to enlightenment is not a highway”

"My advice to you is not to undertake the spiritual path. It is too difficult, too long, and is too demanding. I suggest you ask for your money back, and go home. This is not a picnic. It is really going to ask everything of you. So, it is best not to begin. However, if you do begin, it is best to finish."
~Chogyam Trungpa Dancing Lotus Yoga

Utthita parsvokanasana (Extended side angle) is one of my favourites. It lends itself to many variations such as bringing upper hand to back of head, or on to the waist. If the legs feel too wide, bring them closer together ensuring the bent knee joint is stacked over the ankle joint ❤️ it has so many great benefits. Here are some of them: Strengthens and stretches the legs, knees, and ankles. Stretches the groins, spine, waist and shoulders. Expands the chest and lungs. Stimulates abdominal organs. 🕉❤️🙏🏽

Well, it’s the beginning of a new year of practice! I have 3 offerings for you; 2 Asana (physical) practices and 1 pranayama (breathing practices)/meditation class. It wasn’t what we imagined, but we are back online for the time being. As soon as we get the go ahead, we can transition back to in-person/online format. If you have been curious about practice with me, perhaps this is the year!? We start next week; Jan 10, 11, 12 respectively. Please let me know if have questions. Looking forward practicing with you ❤️ practice

Sometime in the next 24 hours, try saying this to someone (but only if you really mean it):

❤️ "Thanks for making my life better." ❤️

Oh hello friends, in this month’s edition of my musings I explore writing as a Yoga practice. It’s personal and with that comes vulnerability. But, I hear that’s where courage and strength live 😉! It also has a writing practice for you if you are so inclined. Make some tea, have a read and as always, I’d love to hear your thoughts ❤️❤️❤️ my website link is in my bio or you can find it here: https://www.dancinglotusyoga.com/blog
