Sports Gear For All Weather

-



In this baking weather it's useful to give yourself a choice of what to wear in the Yoga studio. Classical Yogis might say layering is good. But it really depends on what style of yoga you do. I've done some Bikram yoga where I wished someone had invented a new kind of yoga foot wear. That sweaty feel on a grubby yoga mat is not really optimal.

So having multiples on hand is better. Take the standard yoga pant: cotton, loose, lycra tight, it's all good. Breath, Relax, 30 degrees is absolutely unusual (although neighbours keep mentioning the 'great summer of '76) Ha! Wowie, throw the ice in the freezer, I say and place your legs up the wall in Viparita Karani you'll like the benefits as a gentle hamstring stretch and a good recovery asana.

'Heat makes things expand...so I don't have a weight problem...I'm just hot'

As the pics. come in thick and fast on my social medias today. From friends, from family over in Australia and New Zealand I think about this Yoga Blog and how on earth it can reflect such mayhem. It can't sorry, there are thankfully limits to any vocation, any hobby, any sports. So...or SOS... as we say in Kiwiland (pun intended, can't get the image out of my head, of all that wildlife decimated) I've posted a captured creature on my windowpain for you, instead. This little Bee is warming itself from the rainy weather Australia desperately needs right now. Try Bhramari Pranayama as part of your relaxation segment in your yoga classes this week. It's such a nice, gentle buzzy feeling. It's most obvious effects are that it's excellent for bringing up the mood, warming the vocal chords, making your friends laugh and clearing the senses. It's claimed also to : Dissipate anger, Lower Blood Pressure, Bolster the health of the throat, Strengthen and impro...

A tell-tale sign the world needs a soothing hug right now is because of these multiple micro-aggressions. For Ukraine and Russia that translates as war, not exactly micro. For the rest of the globe a multitude of pointless distracting 'fuzz'. Excuse the expression...hm, I'll try another: fluff, dust bunnies, wind, hot air, bla-bla-bla, idle talk.  Sometimes you must put the hate away, get away from it and that sometimes means migration. Having to migrate because of 'dust bunnies'?!! Look it up it's a term, to describe what I'm not doing a great job of describing: that hate causes wars, full stop.  Qui n'avance pas, recule.  What are the cre***ns doing over in Welly, in NZ at the moment, too? I went to my Diversity & Inclusion board meeting last night. What a sheer joyous rejuvenating thing to do: to listen, to share ideas on the things that can be discussed. Thank you Louis Theroux for publishing documentaries to reveal parallel cultures outdated, ou...

What Does This Sunday Mean To You?

Today's Blog I was going to give you a comparison between Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga and a new book I was given by my friend ; The Four Agreements - A Toltec Wisdom Book. But then I'd have to write a whole essay and well, Blogs aren't supposed to read like that. I'm often amazed at other people's ability to absorb and take in these moral codes of behaviour - I wish I had that talent. Possibly the fact that performing and singing means one is likely plucking from these depths to recreate some composer or artists masterpiece... I don't know. I'll leave it with Zel, I mean Zen... for now 😂Zel's a genius Luther who fixes guitars. Thanks to everyone around the world yesterday who protested Climate Change - it's awful to think that young people today think their futures are being taken away from them. We must collectively fight and make a change to this situation. Shout out to friends at  Julie's Bicycle  helping to green the Arts ...
