Pranayama breathing practise is a technology that allows us to consciously guide and participate with our life force energy. The more we practise directing the breath with awareness the more the breath becomes a powerful tool that we can use to transmute energy, cultivate balance and generate a state of presence and calm especially during this time of so much challenge and change.

In this workshop Sandi will guide you through an embodiment meditation followed by a dharma talk on the biology of breathing and the benefits of breathing well to support a calm nervous system and healthy immune function. You will then be empowered with a series of ancient kriya and breathing practises suitable for managing in different life circumstances. Leave with practical breathing tools to apply in your everyday life, a detailed hand out with breathing practises to guide you so you can continue to reduce stress and experience deeper relaxation.

What is yoga ?

Yoga offers technologies for arriving in this present moment. The unprecedented change and associated challenge at this time to fathom it all, can tug us away from the present moment, as we understandably feel concerned or even anxious about the future. Fear is an adaptable emotion but when it takes root it can be debilitating. Those who regularly practise yoga know that yoga practise has the capacity to bring us back into physical and emotional balance and modulate the fluctations of our minds. We often say "I do yoga"... and it is true that yoga includes doing shapes or postures, however, @sandimurphyyoga (Nadi Wellness Director & Yoga Teacher/trainer) shares, YOGA is also so much more ... In this present moment we find ourselves in "self isolated lock down" but there is freedom and healing to be found in the discipline of "staying home" not only for ourselves but as we can see Mother Earth is able to 'catch her breath' and recover from all the adrenalising activity of our frenetic buzzing about. Clear roads,clear skies and far less noise!

Once upon a time as yogi's we self isolated in a himalayan cave to realise our innate truth and full potential. In 2020 as householder yogi's the self inquiry is really no different. Here we are again presented with the opportunity to observe ourselves intensely, what we value and hold most dearly and from a wider perspective are being called to stay in intimate communication with the forces that serve to bind us together in unity.

It is no cooincidence that when separation is emphasised the magnetism toward connection as one of our most essential human needs is emphasised: Connection to our true selves, to nature and to our community encodes us with qualities such as peacefulness contentment and happiness.

🌍🌏🌎 We have entered challenging times, requiring us all to consider how our thoughts and actions might help or hinder our own resilience and that of those around us. 👇 Below we have highlighted a few points to help with the weekns ahead:

1. Choose where you focus your attention. Even at the best of times, humans are hard-wired to notice threats and weakness. During the worst of times it is more important than ever for our psychological health to tune into what’s still good in your world. Psychologists call this ‘benefit finding’ and it is a key resilience skill.

2. Deliberately seek out the people (and do the stuff) that make you happy. Research shows how vital experiencing positive emotions is for our resilience. Negative emotions are contagious, and prolonged feelings of helplessness are strongly associated with depression. Given negative emotions and experiences stick to us like Velcro while positive emotions and experiences bounce off like Teflon, aim to punctuate your days, evenings, weeks and weekends with as many positive emotion experiences as possible.

3. Strong and supportive relationships are the number one predictor of wellbeing, across the lifespan. Maintaining those connections during times of crisis and challenge is more important than ever. Feeling isolated from others is strongly related to depression, anxiety and other forms of mental distress.

4. Keep supportive daily routines or create new ones if you’re now holed up at home. “As Normal as Possible, as Flexible as Necessary” is one colleague’s mantra for these times. Maintaining regular routines (meal times, bedtimes, exercise, work etc.) tells our brains it’s safe to dial that stress response back down and prevents us from feeling more anxious. 😘 Let us know if you found the above points helpful, and share with us your stratergies for maintaining some flow state in your life 👇 in the comments below!

🔊 Teacher Feature Friday @rachel.land.yoga

Rachel found yoga as a teenager. It challenged her body, then calmed and clarified her mind. Over the next 20 years, through a Business Degree, a stint in corporate marketing, and international travels, yoga became a touchstone that she returned to repeatedly until it sparked the idea of something more. In 2011 Rachel finally became a Yoga Alliance registered teacher.
Since then she has taught more than 5000 hours of classes, completed a 500-hour yoga teacher training with Tiffany Cruikshank and Yoga Medicine, and amassed hundreds of hours of training in Anatomy & Physiology, Nutrition, Sports Training & Development, Mentoring and Yin Yoga. Rachel is now a full-time E-RYT500 yoga teacher, YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider), a Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist, and a proud member of the Yoga Medicine teaching team.

Some of her students are strong vinyasa yogis aiming to deepen their personal practice. Others come for the slower, more subtle exploration of Yin yoga. Her therapeutic private yoga students want to learn how yoga can help them feel stronger, more stable, and more serene. Whether they attend group classes, workshops, retreats, private sessions, or teacher training, the common denominator is lively curiosity; they come to learn – about anatomy and alignment, and about themselves. As a teacher, and as a regular contributor to online platforms Yoga International and Yoga Journal, Rachel aims to both spark and satisfy that curiosity. She takes her role seriously, but takes herself lightly.

How being kind to yourself and others boosts your

How being kind to yourself and others boosts your immune system 😇

The world is changing and people are feeling scared. What we regard as normal has been completely flipped on its head. What we need now more than ever is kindness.When you’re kind to someone, it’s not just that person who benefits.

Kindness makes you happier. It’s good for your heart. It helps support your immune system. It slows ageing. It improves relationships. And it’s contagious – any small act of kindness you might perform is proven to have a ripple effect that reaches over 100 more people and we can't think of a better message to put out there in these unique and uncertain times.

Deep relaxation leads to decreased levels of cortisol, a stress hormone , and vasopressin, a hormone believed to play a role in stress behavior. 🙌 At Nadi Wellness we offer a range of massages including relaxation or deep tissue.
When you arrive for your massage, Nadi's highly skilled therapist's will ask you to fill out a consultation form and will discuss with you any particular areas of tightness.

Wherever you are, take a moment to pause, and reconnect to mother earth.

Focus on what you can control

Times like these, where so many things are outside of our control, put the work we do on our mats to the test. It’s just as important now as it is in our practice to find calm in the chaos and return to our breath when we feel our minds begin to wander.
Meditation is medicine and we could all use a minute to pause.
Find a quiet space in your home, take a comfortable seat, and close your eyes. Take a moment to relax the shoulders. Let the jaw go soft. Now begin to draw a slow breath in through the nose for three seconds. Now release through the nose for six seconds. Repeat this steady, breath in and out.
