Progress Is Simply Showing Up
At Jaya Yoga, we show why real progress in yoga and in life is simply showing up, practicing with patience, and giving your best every day.
Power of And
You can do hard things AND you don’t have to like it.
You can have a good day and not get your to do list completed. You can love someone and be frustrated with them. You can be happy and sad at the same time. You can fall out of a yoga pose and your value as a human does not change.
Cultivate the Opposite
Cultivating a positive thought every time a negative thought enters the mind sounds simple enough, yet it’s not always easy. The reality of switching your thought process like a light switch, especially when you’re experiencing a challenging time can be very difficult. Developing the opposite is ultimately about changing our attitude toward the person or situation creating the difficulty rather than attempting to change the person or situation itself.
Sideways in September
Who takes better care of their cell phones then themselves? Seeing material objects simply as tools which help us to accomplish our goals in life will free us from being controlled by these objects. Enter yoga.
Eagles, Boulders and Arrows
Explore Eagle Pose and learn how to let go of worry and attachment. Yoga helps you find balance, focus, and mindfulness, lifting your spirit almost weightless, like an eagle soaring toward your highest potential.
Perception Creates Perspective
Yoga asks us to search for clarity and aims to move us beyond illusions and distractions which hide our truest self from ourselves. Translation: Don’t believe everything you think. Clarity of mind has a profound impact on perspective.
Sound of Silence
Why are we so afraid of silence? From the girl who likes her music so loud the cars next to her are shaking or hotel security is called- that’s a story for another time. Let’s just say MTV called the show headbangers ball for a reason. Is it not better to go through the silence and discomfort and come out the other end relaxed and extricated from the constant go, go, go energy of daily life and the constant whirling and swirling of the mind? Is it worth it to try?
New Year, Not New You
New Years Eve has always been one of my favorite “holidays”! I love the tangible idea of a fresh start, a clean slate and endless possibilities. Some would say each new day is full of possibly, and I agree, but I still feel there is a magical energy about New Years Eve.
