Mindful Movement
Organic Yoga
Bringing Mindfulness to your Yoga Practice
"if we spend most of our lives hiding out in our minds, we miss out on all the wonderful things life has to offer"
Mindful movement is a practice that involves integrating mindfulness, awareness, and presence into physical activities and movement-based practices. It emphasizes the connection between the mind and body, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the movements we make.
Yoga instructions can be ambiguous for a students body. Cues like "pull your shoulders down" when you raise your arms up, or "square your hips when you are in warrior II", are dangerous and go against the natural state of YOUR body.
These types of ques can lead to serious injuries that only appear after a prolonged incorrect practice. The yoga pose should fit your body rather than having your body fit the yoga pose. Join me in exploring how you can enjoy each asana (pose) organically and safely.
During your yoga journey you will be guided to
🧚🏼♀️Listen deeply to your body’s wisdom.
🧚🏼♀️Connect to your body, breathing and spirit
🧚🏼♀️Heal your internal self & grow your external self
🧚🏼♀️Cultivate your intuitive abilities
🧚🏼♀️Gain clarity and insights
🧚🏼♀️Find joy in the still moments of your busy life
Your yoga practice becomes deeper as you imbibe aspects such as patience, acceptance and mindfulness into your daily life. These 10 classes will consist of different aspects of yoga so that your take away is deeper than just a set of yoga poses.

Week 1 & 2
Back to Basics – Strengthen your Foundations
No matter what level of yoga we are at..it's always a good idea to revisit the basics of yoga - what does yoga really mean and are we truly connecting to our mind, body and spirit? enjoying the silence? embracing the silence? the breath? the stretches?
We will spend two classes exploring our foundations before we transition to the deeper connection.
Week 3
The Deeper Connection – A Richer Mind (unique benefits such as twists good for internal organs)
Each yoga pose we practice benefits some amazing part of our body...Lets connect to that goodness - and keep it at the top of our mind ...
Week 4
Alignment – get the most out of the Pose best suited for your Body
Is your body aligned to your comfort? or to the yoga pose? We focus on scanning the body and being keenly aware of how each pose really feels ...connecting to our body parts...and realizing we are jus a part of our body
Week 5
Chakras to your Body – Tap into the Mystical Side
Chakas are the energy centres that reside along the length of the spine...
We connect to each chakra (pronounced exactly the same way as we say the name chuck),with corresponding yoga poses....
and do a little internal pondering...so if you're in a reflective mood...join us on the mat.
Week 6
Gratitude that Forgives – Releasing Into Freedom
As we flow through various yoga poses, we're going to take this opportunity to be extra kind to your Self, forgive or ask to be forgiven - and let go of the anger, and feelings of hurt...so that one can release them, freeing the self and ultimately ensuring that you don't give away your power and sense of bliss to destructive and negative emotions.
Week 7
Breath – And All its Spaciousness
Have you ever found yourself holding your breath during yoga? ...well you are not alone..as we flow through the poses, i invite you to pay special attention to your breath, so that you can really begin to connect with your Self - know how to lengthen, and deepen you breath whilst in a yoga pose and of course take that skill off the mat and into your daily life.
Week 8
5 of the 8 limbs – The Life Within
During a yoga practice we can imbibe 5 of the 8 limbs of Ashtanga Yoga into our Hatha Yoga Practice so that we can go deeper into our practice and connect to our Self...
Asanas - yoga postures (8.4 million of them) translates to comfortable and steady
Pratyahara - Withdrawal of the Senses (Internal Gaze similiar to द्रिष्टी - pronounced Drishthi avoid drish-TEA)
Pranayam - Mindful Breathing
Dharana - Focus/Attention
Dhyana - Meditation
Week 9
Yoga off the mat – Journey to Reality
1. When we hold an asana (pose) we are increasing our patience with our self & others.
2. Learning to manage stress by using breathing techniques translates to calmer states of mind so that we become less reactive and think before we say harmful things.
3. By observing our thoughts, watching them pass, we become more understanding & forgiving towards our self & others; more empathetic.
Week 10
Movement To Bliss
In this final class we will use the time to clarify, discuss and focus on anything that you might want to explore further. This is your special yoga session because you get to focus on what you would like to give attention to. If you want to sit in stillness with a guided meditation or work on specific yoga poses...

- Awareness of Body Sensations: It begins with tuning into the body's sensations, noticing how it feels during movement. This involves paying attention to muscle engagement, joint mobility, balance, and the overall physical experience without judgment.
- Connection with Breath: Mindful movement often incorporates synchronized breathing with movement. By aligning breath with physical actions, individuals deepen their mind-body connection, promoting relaxation and focus.
- Being Present in the Moment: The practice encourages being fully present and engaged in the movement without getting lost in distractions or thoughts about the past or future. It involves letting go of worries and concerns, focusing solely on the sensations and experience of the present movement.
- Non-judgmental Observation: Practitioners of mindful movement observe their movements without judgment. Whether it's a challenging posture or a simple walk, the focus is on accepting the experience as it is, without criticism or comparison.
- Mindful Transitions: It emphasizes the importance of transitions between movements or postures. Paying attention to how one moves into and out of a posture or activity can deepen the practice and prevent injury by fostering greater body awareness.
Benefits of practicing mindful movement include:
- Stress Reduction: Mindful movement helps reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and a sense of calmness.
- Improved Body Awareness: It enhances body awareness, coordination, and balance.
- Enhanced Focus and Concentration: It aids in improving mental focus and concentration by training the mind to stay present.
- Greater Emotional Regulation: Mindful movement practices can contribute to better emotional regulation and overall well-being.
In essence, mindful movement is about integrating mindfulness into physical activities, allowing individuals to develop a deeper connection between their mind and body, fostering overall health, well-being, and a greater appreciation for the present moment.
