What is Moisture Wicking all About?

Satya – Truthfulness
To one established in truthfulness, actions and their results become subservient Yoga Sutra’s 36 Satya is, for me, the most important of all of the Yama’s. Telling the truth has always been drummed into me as being vital in keeping good communication and trust. Without trust then you can not...

The five disciplines that Patanjali called the ‘great vow’ are known as the Yama’s, the first limb of Ashtanga Yoga. As you begin to practice them you will see that they not only benefit you but everyone that you come into contact with. If you believe that you get back...
Yoga as a Mirror
One of my teachers told me that practicing yoga is like polishing the mirror that you look at yourself through. If the mirror is clouded then you can’t see clearly in its reflection. You can’t see your own behavioural patterns, your reaction patterns, your triggers and buttons. When we act...
Happy Mistake Making
So yesterday I dropped myself on my head! Another hard day at the office! I was learning how to do drop backs on my own and had asked Nancy Gilgoff about it. (If you haven't encountered drop backs yet then it is what it sounds like. you stand upright and...
