🧘🏼‍♀️Wednesdays Tapasaya Meditation is my signature offering for you to find your flow in the moment. ♥️♥️♥️

You don’t have to ask anything of yourself just to turn up in all your gorgeousness and nourish your body and being through oils, massage and deep frequency healing in a warm room to cleanse and detox from the inside out 💫
Calm your mind & senses with mantra and mudra as you search within for answer you cannot find with-out. As I ensure your yoga is always first we approach this through 💫 Japa meditation 💫

Japa meditation in yoga entails chanting a mantra or a specific sound repeatedly to focus the mind and cultivate inner peace. There are various styles of Japa meditation that practitioners can explore to enhance their practice.

🙏🏻Vaikhari Japa.
🗣️This involves chanting the mantra audibly. The sound vibrations created by the vocal cords help to focus the mind and create a rhythmic pattern that can be very soothing. This method is often used by beginners as it is easier to maintain concentration with audible sounds.
🙏🏻Upamsu Japa
🌬️In this style, the mantra is whispered softly, just barely audible to the practitioner. This technique requires more focus than Vaikhari Japa, as the quieter sound demands greater attention. It is a bridge between the audible and silent practices, enhancing concentration and inner listening.

🙏🏻Manasika Japa
🧠Here, the mantra is chanted silently in the mind. This is considered a more advanced form of Japa meditation, as it requires a high level of mental discipline and concentration. It is incredibly effective for internalising the mantra and connecting deeply with one's inner self.
🙏🏻Likhita Japa
📝In this version, the practitioner writes the mantra repeatedly. This combination of physical and mental activity can be very grounding and is especially useful for those who find it difficult to sit still. The act of writing helps integrate the mantra into the subconscious mind.
🙏🏻Mala Japa
📿This involves using a mala, or a string of beads, to count the repetitions of the mantra. Each bead represents one repetition, and the mala typically contains 108 beads. The tactile sensation of moving the beads can help maintain focus and rhythm, making it easier to sustain the meditation.
By exploring these different forms of Japa meditation, practitioners can discover which methods resonate most with them, allowing for a more personalised and effective meditative experience.

And who doesn’t want to find the love they need by just being who they are 💋

Be yoga, be love, be you

🌿☀️
Almost to Tuesday 🔥 yogasauna™️ 🔥and
♾️🪷flow 64☯️

🔥💛Our Tuesday yogasauna, our signature hot yoga session, this week is set to the iconic tracks of Queen. This innovative fusion of dynamic music and invigorating exercise aims to provide a holistic experience to breathe • flow • play, that harmonises body, mind, and being.

🪷Flow 64 is an innovative and meticulously crafted sequence of yogasana designed to create a harmonious dance of vinyasa, where each movement seamlessly transitions with the breath.

This practice is not merely a physical exercise but a profound journey that balances the body, mind, and soul, embracing the principles of yin and yang.

🌸The beauty of Flow 64 lies in its structure.
Each of the 64 transistions are thoughtfully selected to ensure a comprehensive engagement of the body’s various muscle groups and energy channels.

The sequence begins with gentle warm-ups, gradually building intensity to awaken the body and prepare it for deeper stretches and strength-building poses. As you move from one asana to the next, the emphasis on synchronising breath with movement, creates a meditative flow, fostering a state of mindfulness and presence.

At its core, 🪷Flow 64 embodies the yin-yang philosophy, balancing dynamic, active (yang) poses with restorative, passive (yin) postures.

🪷This duality ensures that you do not merely build strength and flexibility but also cultivate inner stillness and resilience.

🪷The active phases invigorate and energise, promoting cardiovascular health and muscle toning, while the restorative phases encourage relaxation and deep tissue release, aiding in recovery and stress reduction.

🪷By the end of the sequence, you’ll often experience a sense of holistic equilibrium, where the physical exertion and mental tranquility coalesce, leaving you rejuvenated and centered.

Why Yogasauna?
🔥Benefits of Hot Yoga
Enhanced Flexibility and Strength: Hot yoga is performed in a room heated to around 90-105 degrees Fahrenheit. The warmth allows muscles to stretch more deeply and safely, improving flexibility and reducing the risk of injury. Additionally, the challenging postures help build muscle strength and endurance.

🔥Detoxification: The heat induces a healthy sweat, which helps to flush toxins from the body. Sweating also promotes better circulation and can enhance the function of the lymphatic system, facilitating the removal of waste products.

🔥Mental Clarity and Stress Relief: The combination of physical exertion and deep breathing exercises in hot yoga can significantly reduce stress levels. The intentional focus required during the practice encourages mindfulness and mental clarity, which can translate to a calmer, more centred state of mind outside experience .

🔥Cardiovascular Health: The higher temperatures and vigorous poses increase heart rate, offering a cardiovascular workout that can improve heart health and boost metabolism. This can contribute to wellbeing management and overall physical fitness.

🔥Kula: Togetherness
One of the most cherished aspects of Tuesday Yogasauna is the strong sense of oneness it cultivates.
Practicing yoga in a group within an Anavrin setting fosters a supportive and inclusive environment where yogis of all levels can connect and grow together.
Here are some ways our sessions promote community togetherness:
🔸Shared Experience: Engaging in a challenging yet rewarding activity like hot yoga creates a bond among participants. The shared experience of overcoming physical and mental hurdles can lead to lasting friendships and a sense of belonging.

🔸Encouragement and Support: Experiences emphasise the importance of mutual support and positive reinforcement. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or a beginner, the collective energy and encouragement from the group can enhance your practice and motivate you to push your limits. If laughing is your thing…you’ll feel right at home!

🔸Inclusivity and Belonging: At Anavrin, we celebrate diversity and welcome individuals from all walks of life. Our sessions are designed to be inclusive, ensuring that everyone feels valued and part of our Kula. This sense of belonging can have profound effects on mental well-being and overall happiness.

🎉Join us at Tuesday, Yogasauna or flow 64, for unforgettable experiences that merges the transformative power of hot yoga with the timeless music of Queen or create a dance of ‘breathe & flow’ immersing yourself in self awareness & being. Take your practice to a whole new level, detoxify your body, and immerse yourself in a vibrant community where you can evolve both physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally.

🥰🎉What are you up to this Sunday?

Want to spend some time with me creating some love for you?

🪐On July 7th, 2024, the 7.7 Portal holds great importance in metaphysical and holistic circles as a significant spiritual and energetic occurrence.

✨During this event, it is believed that the Earth aligns with potent cosmic energies, establishing a portal for increased spiritual consciousness, personal growth, and profound inner healing.

🪐The date's numerology, 7/7, highlights self-reflection, spiritual enlightenment, and the quest for profound truths, making it an auspicious day for activities that promote inner harmony and a connection to one's higher self.

✨To harness the energies of the 7.7 Portal, we have curated a series of activities designed to promote self-soothing and tranquility. These practices, scheduled for Sunday, are intended to guide you into a state of calm and peace, allowing them you to fully benefit from the portal's energies:

💆🏼‍♀️Self-Soothing Abhyanga Massage:

Abhyanga, a traditional Ayurvedic practice, involves a soothing self-massage using warm oils. This ritual helps to balance the body's energies, improve circulation, and reduce stress. The gentle, rhythmic motions of the massage are exceptionally grounding, making it an ideal practice for calming the mind and body on this auspicious day.

🗣️Kriya Chanting:

Kriya is a form of yogic practice that includes breath control, meditation, and chanting. Chanting specific mantras can help to align your vibrational frequency with the higher energies of the 7.7 Portal. The repetitive nature of chanting promotes a meditative state, allowing for deep introspection and spiritual connection.

🎼Soundbath:

A soundbath involves immersing oneself in the harmonic tones of instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and chimes. These sounds create vibrations that can help to clear blockages in the body's energy field, induce relaxation, and enhance meditation experiences. The therapeutic sounds resonate within, fostering a profound sense of peace and well-being.

🌿Engaging in these practices on the 7.7 Portal will not only help you to find a sense of calm and peace but also to align with the transformative energies of the day. By dedicating time to these holistic rituals, you can open yourself to a deeper connection with the universe and embark on a path of spiritual growth and enlightenment.

Every situation in life is temporary. So, when life is good, make sure you enjoy and receive it fully. And when life is not so good, remember that it will not last forever and better days are on the way.

Take time Tuesdays ♥️

Always remember to make time to play!
You don’t too old to dance and play you grow old when you forget to either! 🥰🌸🧘🏼‍♀️🎶🧘🏼‍♂️🌸🥰
Being a grown up is so exhausting on time….splash in muddy puddles, run as fast as you can into the wind…
Jump on a tree swing and let your inner child breathe 🌼🙏🏻🌼
The Joker asks…’why so serious?’
Well…? Why?
Because we’re told to confirm…to follow the routine of society on the conveyor belt of life?
Bullish!t!!! Rewild 🌿🙌🏻
We’ve all seen how precious life is and how quick is sweeps by..it’s almost June already 😳😂
Make a life that’s as good on a Tuesday as it is on a Sunday;
Choice
Chance
Change 🌼

It’s all part of a bigger machine…don’t be afraid to remove yourself and make a life of living instead of living to work.
A 🌸🌕 flower full moon approaches…
How will you invest between now & then in finding closure so you can bloom as we move into summer?

And by this I mean how are you going to make it manifest? Not just by wishing for it but make it happen…move the chess ♟ pieces in your life and live from a place of love…starting with your health and wellbeing 🌸🌼🧘🏼‍♀️🌼🌸

We’re conditioned from an early age of the expectations. Exam season is pressuring our next generations to perform in the circus…what if we started looking at what makes us happy and how this can be of service to others: Karma Yoga..Seva 🌸
If we just stopped being greedy and competitive…worked for a whole goal:
Unity
Then the world would be a better place 🌼 Everyone’s special unique skill contributing to ecological change, sustainable lifestyles…and outwardly peaceful times. Inwardly..
Our souls could be free to play!
To feel the natural endorphins to feel as good as the smiles on our faces instead of the second ones we plaster on each day to ‘be fine’
BREATHE • MOVE • PLAY
Who’s in?! 🌸

Be Yoga | Be Love | BeYou
Sharing this post from half a decade ago…
It feels like yesterday 🥹
One reason because time is moving very quickly 🫥
But also the values & principles we hold at Anavrin still flow from the same place: Love.

Corny? 😅 hear me out.
It’s MHA week. And for the most part most of us struggle because we lack the connection to the small four letter word carrying a behemoth amount of meaning.
It doesn’t haven’t to be romanticals, we may have the wrong relationships we call friendships, we may not love our job, something about ourselves.
All of these and more can be improved. With Love. Self Love that is.
Our programming to only feel validated by being wanted, desired by another is cruel and unacceptable.
We do not feel beautiful if another rejects us based upon their programming. Of course we should feel aversion to people. That my friends is nature, biological anthropology. The circle of life of attracting a mate to populate the Earth.
If we lived in another part of the world from this westernised bombardment of how to look perfect, even now, how to have the most perfect menopausal journey 😤 in the name of commercialisation, we would love our big 🍑.
It’s all about Being You.

It’s tough. I know this. And believe me when I say this confidence has been hard won and I wouldn’t wish how I found my roots in self love on anyone.

However, we are all afforded lessons to break free, unfortunately we have been reverse engineered to see these times as reasons to believe me are not worthy of the love we give away, there is something wrong with us that’s why we don’t fit in, look good enough. People pleasing becomes a base line to be accepted only to make us feel worse because deep down we know it’s being fake wanted.

I haven’t watched the news, tv especially with adverts for a loooooong time. The agenda driven method to influence how you feel is very clever. From charities with footage to break your soul over breakfast when you’re most suggestible when setting the tone for the day ahead to selling credit cards right after ‘LOOK AT THE AMAZING HOLIDAY YOU’RE NOT ON’ ad to get this pre packed 250calorie meal delivered to you door right before models selling ♥️ on a perfume ad or clothes designed to suit a body type only available in a catalogue you can access at your fingertips tips and pay off over the next 3 years.

Once you see the pattern you can’t unsee it.

🌸 Detox your viewing:
Newsfeed, tv viewing, where you spend your time
🌸 Trust how you feel:
January is the worst time to begin a new exercise regime, feel good programme, start that stuff in May/June and carry it through the winter.
🌸 Who are you?
Get to know you, a best friend. Speak to yourself as you would someone you love Find the self lov. It’s not corny. It’s essential. Reset those programmed parameters and set flexible ones to evolve as you do.

Our mental health is our most precious commodity. When this is in order the rest falls into place. So as much as you’ll hear about this week, told to ‘Bet or drink sensibly’ it’s all just there so you feel like a sack of 💩 without even realising it.
Being body positive doesn’t mean you have to love all your curves or be told you’re super lucky you’re ‘skinny’. How we feel about how we look is a very personal journey manipulated by the external world.

I am 13st 7.
I love my body the same as I do at 8stone. I laugh, sing and dance the same. I have fabulous b👀bies, bouncy 🍑 and a love of life.
Why?
Because I’m thankful. I stay away from the advertisements, I don’t care how anyone else look, I don’t want to fit in.
Don’t do anything because I say it’s good for me. Voices out there will call out it’s unhealthy to actively put on weight, to promote who I am. They will regurgitate knowledge, facts through their lens of existence but ultimately I don’t give an ounce of f👅ck for any of it.
That’s an awesome sauce mindset too 😘
I choose to feel good over battling what is only the words of others inside your head when you allow yourself to negatively judge your soul.
Is this easy?
Well it wasn’t. I used to hate myself. Yes hate.
Felt unloved, unwanted…I was unaware.
Unaware none of this mattered and as long as I strived to be what was acceptable I would remain unaccepted.
Unaccepted by myself, the only one who actually decides what to love and be loved means.

I accept myself. I’m not always kind to myself but now I will have a ‘management meeting’ to discuss grievances and get proactive instead of reactive.
The past 4 years to note up to today:
-Motherhood
-Being a wife
-Grief
-Loss
-Restarting in business
-Menopause
-Break down & Build back up
-Physical & emotional changes

I’ve never hidden anything from the light. I’m a real person.
I share with you so you can hopefully find a way to love yourself too. My faith & yoga are my healers. Yogasana simply restorative, meditation, scripture - yin and calm. I’ve tended most to my mental health: Ahimsa, Santosha.

In keeping with going where I flow, I’m beginning to change once again. Not all my ducks are in a row, but they are enough that I can start opening my mind once again to focusing on more than just being in this self preservation space.
I’m trusting the journey with moving back into a more constructive Ayurvedic lifestyle, my yogasana actively venturing back to my natural state of Yang, vinyasa. I’m still working on the wanting to be outside, the anxiety is still very powerful but here I am taking it step by step.
I’ve tried taking the step forward into now a few times but to no avail, but this time the urge is strong, definitely the best way to evolve instead of trying to live by a plan of expectation.
Will I lose weight?
Of course, I’m moving more, eating as per my faith & yoga.
Life isn’t about living perfectly, it’s about living your best life…
And that will look different in every day.

Some days it could be 12 mile hikes others it’s staying in bed.
As long as you’re kind to you, that’s all the body positivity you’ll ever need.
Be kind to you.
Do me ( and you) a teenie tiny favour?
Observe for a week or so what you see and hear from tv, media. Look for silent the conversations being had between you and the ads, the narratives. Let that lightbulb 💡 moment happen.
Never fall folly to the nonsense again.

You are the CEO of you.
Start with small changes, Love Big

♥️ YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL & ALWAYS WORTHY.
xoxo
Mental health Awareness week 💗

Build your own sense of self. Don't be someone else. Be you 🙏 You see it so often these days. People unable to be themselves.

Your unique and wonderful self is what the world needs. No one is you and that is your power. Believe 💛
When people try to bring you down...Rise 🧡

This observance, occurring on the night before May 1st, represents a period when the earth is abundant with fertility, vitality, and the promise of flourishing growth.
It symbolises the union of the Goddess and the God, reflecting the harmony of feminine and masculine energies, fertility, and the emergence of new life.
This sacred occasion encourages us to embrace personal growth and revitalisation, aligning with nature.

🧩🪚I want to play a game….
What colour are these flowers?
How do you know….? Can you see them in your minds eye, a memory of what was once seen by your eyes so you can confidently say you know the colour of this beautiful little tot?
They are unforgettable 😉
💭 Hold that thought….

🌈In the journey of life, we often find ourselves navigating through a sea of preconceived notions and pre-programmed systems.

🩵These invisible guides have a profound influence on how we perceive the world around us—shaping our judgments, actions, and reactions in ways that sometimes elude our conscious awareness.

It's as though we're on autopilot, skimming through the rich tapestry of life with a surface-level understanding, driven by the mind's desire to categorise, simplify, and control.

🧡Of course it’s important to have the predictive mind at the helm, keeping us safe by preempting danger….

But what if we could step out of this autopilot mode? What if we could drop the expectations that weigh us down and cloud our perception?
🩵 Resolve to Evolve 🩵
The practice of yoga offers us a gateway to this transformative journey. At its core, yoga is much more than just a series of physical postures; it's a profound exploration of the self that invites us to delve deep into our inner world, challenging the automated responses and judgments that have become second nature.

Yoga asks us to be present, to observe without attachment, and to embrace the flow of life with an open heart and mind. This is not an easy task, but it's a deeply rewarding one.

Through consistent practice, we begin to notice the layers of conditioning that dictate our thoughts and behaviors, and gradually, we learn to let them go.

Imagine approaching each moment with a sense of curiosity and wonder, free from the constraints of past experiences and future expectations. This is the essence of yoga—cultivating a space within ourselves where we can experience life in its purest form.

It's about finding stillness in the midst of chaos, strength in vulnerability, and freedom in letting go. As we step out of autopilot and drop the expectations that no longer serve us, we open ourselves up to a world of infinite possibilities.

Let's embark on this journey together, with kindness, patience, and an open heart, and discover the transformative power of yoga to change not just the way we move, but the way we live, love, and connect with the world around us.

So what colour are these flowers?
Are you sure?
Why are you so sure?
Because you know from what your mind tells you.

2 sayings I love;
•Measure 📐 twice, cut once
•Carefully what you trust, even salt looks like sugar.

Check below for the coloured photo ✨
Leave me a comment about what you think!
🧡💛🩵💛🧡
