Why I Love Yoga

Yoga has influenced so many areas of my life.

I am able to focus on my breath, calm my mind, create space in my body to deal with stressful situations.

I have learned to become mindful , aware of both myself and others in a nonjudgmental way , not getting caught up in destructive thoughts.

I have changed my diet and feel far healthier and more energized than ever.

I meditate when things get on top of me and prefer headstands over afternoon coffee.

Let Yoga change YOUR life.

Take time to look after yourself .

View your body as a temple and treat it with respect.

Eat lots of raw foods, do yoga , meditate, smile and radiate positivity.

Pregnancy Yoga

The benefits of pregnancy yoga are numerous.

Studies have shown women who practise yoga during pregnancy are less likely to develop high blood pressure or go into premature labour.

Many asanas ( poses ) will help create more space in your pelvis for your baby and can help ease back pain.

Yoga soothes the mind, refocusing your energy and helps you to prepare psychologically for your baby´s birth.

There are number of poses that can assist or even speed up labour, easing your baby`s entry into the world and help speed recovery after the birth as well .

Breathing techniques can be invaluable during labor, helping you to relax and managing pain.

Joining a pregnancy yoga class is a great idea, not only for the health and wellbeing benefits , but also for the social connection with other mums – to – be.

Love to welcome YOU to my class on Tuesdays from 18:00 – 19:30 pm.

Harmony

Life has a natural rhythm . The sun rises and sets . The tide ebbs and flows. Spring follows winter. Summer fades into autumn.Your body moves to the beat of your heart. Just listen to your breathing for a few moments 🙂

Like the natural world, our inner rhythm follows cycles and undulations. But deep inside everyone of us there is a natural stillness, an inner peace from which modern life too often disconnects us.

This stillness is a quiet but powerful rhythm, an energy that we can reconnect to and use to restore Harmony within.

One of the best ways to reconnect to this abundant positive energy is to align ourselves with the rhythm of nature.

From the expansive , abundant and joyful times of summer melt happily into the more restorative, innovative and reflective times of autumn.

Time for more restorative , gentle Yoga – Time for Awareness Yoga 🙂

Join me at Jayoga ( http://www.jayoga.no ) Høvik , right outside Oslo and pick up the powerful tools of Yoga.

Looking forward to see you soon 🙂

Trust

Listening is the big learning.

Learn to listen to the wisdom of the universe.

Listen to it from within you.

Listen to your heart and conscience and then dare to do as your deepest feelings are guiding you to do.

Learn to honor your natural rhythms.

Sometimes you need to do more yoga, sometimes less.

You have to give yourself permission to do less when this is the right thing to do .

Not just always push , push , push.

The idea is to listen and remember – be guided from within .

Don`t have it all mapped out in advance,

thinking you know what to do . You don`t know.

When you think less knowing flows in .

When you experience the peace within you, you will spontaneously undergo a

fundamental transformation in the way you think about yourself and how you

see the world.

Knowledge , Belief , Enthusiasm

Many people are interested in any number of subjects, but until they really learn about

those things, they never develop the Knowledge necessary to create enthusiasm.

Action is the key turning interest into knowledge.

When you are interested in some thing, you must act on it , to find the knowledge you

are seeking.

As you build knowledge of the subject you are interested in , this then creates the

condition for belief.

Belief is where you transform your knowledge from simple academic information and

facts to emotional commitment.

This is where the true Enthusiasm is created.

It is not enough to know everything about a subject – you must believe it .

The only way to believe something is to test your knowledge of that subject.

By putting your knowledge to the test, you create belief in the validity and truth of

that knowledge.

This belief generates a strong emotional commitment, which fosters intense enthusiasm.

Most people are sleepwalking through life, suffering ” quiet lives of desperation “.

If you want to feel the enthusiasm and passion of living a life you dream of,

don`t wait to be enthusiastic about something.

Enthusiasm doesn`t hit us – it must be created .

Love & Peace
