🌍🌿❤️🙏🏻🌍🌿❤️🙏🏻🌍🌿❤️🙏🏻🌍🌿❤️🙏🏻

“To be human being is an honor,
and we offer thanksgiving for all the gifts of life.
Mother Earth, we thank you for giving us everything we need.”
“Thank you, deep blue waters around Mother Earth,
for you are the force that takes thirst away from all living things.
We give thanks to green grasses that feel so good against our bare feet, for the cool beauty you bring to Mother Earth’s floor.”
“Thank you, good foods from Mother Earth,
our life sustainers, for making us happy when we are hungry.
Fruits and berries, we thank you for your color and sweetness.
We are all thankful to good medicine herbs, for healing us when we are sick…”
“All the trees in the world, we are thankful for the shade and warmth you give us…”
“We give thanks to you, gentle Four Winds, for bringing clean air for us to breathe from four directions.”
“Thank you Grandfather Thunder Beings for bringing rains to help all living things grow.”
“Elder Brother Sun, we send thanks for shining your light and warming Mother Earth…”
“Spirit Protectors of our past and present, we thank you for showing us ways to live in peace and harmony with one another.”
“And most of all, thank you, Great Spirit, for giving us all these wonderful gifts…”

~Chief Jake Swamp from “Giving Thanks: A Native American Good Morning Message”

YIN YOGA at Woodlands Yoga ( Muldersdrift ) from the 31st October - 7th November, we will be working through the entire body as we focus on Zazen Meditation

🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮

If you’re accustomed to sweating your way toward glamorous poses, Yin Yoga may at first glance seem too slow, too simple, and, well, too boring. But this complex practice of long, passively held floor poses is deeply nourishing and has myriad benefits for any yoga practitioner.

On a physical level, Yin enhances the natural range of motion in the joints. By keeping your muscles soft, you release deep layers of connective tissue, creating more ease in any style of yoga and in seated meditation. On an energetic level, Yin enhances the flow of prana (life force) in the tissues around the joints, where energy often stagnates. Its a bit like doing an acupuncture session on yourself: Sequences are often geared toward strengthening certain energy channels (called nadis in yoga or meridians in Chinese medicine), which ultimately support the organs, immune system, and emotional well-being.

And then there are the mental benefits: Holding poses for three to five minutes often brings up discomfort. Yin conditions you to stay with the intense sensations that arise, rather than quickly moving into the next pose. “It trains you to become more comfortable with discomfort instead of becoming alarmed. It marries meditation and asana into a very deep practice.

We will also be focusing on Zazen Meditation; In Zen Buddhism, zazen is a meditative discipline that is typically the primary practice. The precise meaning and method of zazen varies from school to school, but in general it can be regarded as a means of insight into the nature of existence

Yin Yoga at Woodlands Yoga (Muldersdrift) for the next two weeks ( 12th September - 19th September ) we will be working into the s Lymphatic system....

The lymphatic system is composed of a network of tissues, organs, and lymphatic vessels that carry lymph, a clear fluid, through the body ridding the body of toxins and waste. This clear fluid contains infection-fighting white blood cells throughout the body. The health and function of your lymphatic system is essential for robust immunity and overall health.
This system is stimulated by movement and hey, what do you know...yoga moves your body! In yin, we can target areas of the body that have a greater density of lymph nodes, using the transition from pose to pose to further stimulate this system.

Yin Yoga every Tuesday am from 08:30 - 10:00
