Garnering knowledge to expand ones’ horizons:

It’s been a whole month of singingtreeyoga, I’m enjoying and admiring just how many of you out there LOVE yoga.

The October trees are having their annual make-over. When I take a walk, I like to look-up at them, admire their plumage so to speak. Ha ah! Looking up is important; if you start to feel the effects of seasons change. Supported sitting poses can help calm the mind, but don’t forget to change your eyes’ gaze as a way to temper your own thoughts and mood.

Autumn Iyengar Yoga is designed to counteract slow and sluggish circulation. In these months, we can be more susceptible to cold hands (great excuse to wear pretty gloves) feet, varicose veins and hypertension.

Hypertension can lead to hyper – anything. So draw the mind softly inwards. I know it’s hard to in this day and age of constant distractions; construction, building-works, excessive noise.

It’s subtle work, but persevere and you will feel better for it.

Use nature’s sounds to help tune into the world, not out, natural sounds are most relaxing. Soften the face, the eyes, you know the drill…

Look towards a horizon, the horizon, imagine that horizon as you make a wish.
