In this flow practice, we will stimulate the fire that helps us work with the ingredients of our lives, and move through challenges with greater ease. Balance in life can be found by meeting with the challenges and gifts we’re presented with. A dynamic equilibrium between what we are faced with, and what we can meaningfully work with, continually influences our approach to what we feel, think and do.

In yoga, we work towards equilibrium by balancing an energetic current called samana vayu. It is expressed through physical actions like digestion and metabolism, and stimulated by twist, breathing exercises, and working with the core. On a psychological level, it presents an even-mind, able to discriminate between what is helpful, and what is not; laying the grounds for wise action.

 

Journal

Here you'll find writing on mindfulness, neuroscience, mental health, physical wellbeing, and yoga.

These topics often overlap: attention, behaviour and embodiment are all part of the same ecosystem of experience, and the aim here is to explore those connections in a thoughtful and practical way. Some posts draw from research, others from lived experience and teaching. The intention is to share ideas that are useful, considered, and occasionally a bit different from what is typically said.
