Yoga – My Journey | Week 5 | Meditation

Do you look outside for things to ‘fix you’, make you feel good?

Maybe food, nice (expensive) things, alcohol, medication, other people? Want to unleash your body’s natural and miraculous power to heal itself and feel good from the inside out?

You can get started too… I’ve got a teeny, tiny challenge you might enjoy… so get curious and take a look. J X🙌

Yoga helps us work with discomfort.

You’ll here me tell ya.. It’s where the growth and magic happens.

Paul Warner… goes for it…photoshoot and all. 🙌

Let Yoga BEGIN course graduate, Paul Warner, enlighten you… (thanks Paul 🙌)

Yoga is for fit people.

Yoga is something trendy people do. Yoga is not for me!

All of these thoughts and more were in my head as I walked through the door of Yoga Local…

If you’re planning your first yoga adventure in 2018 you probably have some questions. Trouble is, no one ever likes to be the first to raise their hand.

Let’s get something ‘yoga-plank’ straight. You can be a super-flexy hippy if that’s your thing but if it’s not, hear me out when I say being a yogi ain’t that. Forget that. New thinking required here. If you’re with me, it will change everything. You with me?

Happy days. So, if that’s not who you have to be to be yogi. What is?
