While Muizenberg is not exactly famous for yoga (it is rather famous for surfing) it is, for me, the most awesome location for doing yoga. A small village only some 30 minutes from Cape Town center, there it is not a hint of the bright lights, big city yoga scene here. Blame the often miserable South…
The case for maintenance You can’t fix a broken device with maintenance. Intervention is required. It is also way more difficult to heal a poorly maintained system; a regularly maintained system responds much better to treatment. Yoga is often not enough Yoga sure helps to maintain the bodymind system (physical, mental and emotional complex), but we…
No Mind. No limitation Get out of the box and into Infinite Mind. Thinking is a limited facility. Period. So thinking out of the box just puts one in another box. Thinking out of the box is important on a linear level, but it ends there. Reality as we think it is, is a hoax…
Meditation creates a connection to all that is – a direct connection, within the bodymind. Accessible anytime, anywhere. In meditation we learn to “be”, to become a being of body, mind and heart, of infinite potential and dimension. Yoga and meditation shows us “effortless effort”, a paradox to the thinking intellect. The dualism dissolves when…
The sound of the universe, the tone of all that is The OM symbol and sound mantra connects practitioner with the seed-sound essence of the universe and the Godhead. It is an ancient incantation symbolising the origin of creation, and the underlying one-ness of everything in it. A hum-drone is formed on the exhale, which is, of…
Toni Childs let me know via this website that she is coming South Africa to share her passions in a few yoga oriented events. She was scouting for venues, so I let her know my studio is too small but instead offered to help find places for her to interact with the local yoga communities….
For me “the divine” is a state of expansion and inclusion, i.e. holistic. It’s not “higher”, rather exalted while also including the “lower realms”. In yoga this may mean “union”, all aspects of the whole. One may think of it as an inner state of consciousness that includes everything. A state reached in meditation, also a state…
The local surf yoga scene looked so inviting on this website that the national television broadcaster sent a t.v. crew and presenter to film us doing what we love best: giving yoga and surf lessons at one of the best kept location secrets of the new surf yoga scene. Magazine programs love exciting, original visual stories….
An old adage in yoga is that one is as healthy as one’s spine. Cranio-Sacral Therapy, like yoga, knows a healthy spine promotes systemic vitality for greater well-being – a superb combination to release and process the impact of stressful living and trauma, to unlock the body’s natural healing intelligence. Cranio-Sacral treatment supports four major aspects of…
There are several good reasons why it is an excellent idea to treat one’s yoga practice to a cranio-sacral therapy session. A session or regular treatments assist with getting into the zone, and maintaining a cutting edge in whatever one’s personal quest entails. In my quest for well-being, and frankly, just getting through tough times and…
