Ayurveda | Balanced Living

Our Yoga practice is a very personal thing. It is the journey to the self. Uncovering who we are underneath all of the conditioned behaviour and emotional blockages that come with life.

You’ve Abandoned Me. Balance Don’t Live Here Anymore!

More on why we all need a yoga practice.
Did you know when we are out of balance we tend to stay out of balance. To the point where someone’s ‘out of balanced’ state might actually feel (at least to them)… balanced, even good.

I was drawn, and still am drawn, to dynamic, strong movement. No pain no gain! I’m an 80s chick. I got the T-shirt. Plus, it’s not the easiest pattern of thinking to shift.
