Be More Peacock

My logo created by my talented husband Aubrey at Pixel Smith Studio is inspired by the beautiful peacock. So what is the symbolism of the peacock and why did I choose it for my logo? I remember growing up loving peacock feathers and being told they bring bad luck. To me peacock feathers are a symbol of renewal as their entire tail of feathers is renewed each year. In Buddhist tradition they are symbols of wisdom and enlightenment while in Native American tradition the peacock is a symbol of dignity, wholeness and beauty. The peacock is the national bird of India and in Hindu tradition represents benevolence, patience, kindness and compassion.

To me the peacock symbolises allowing your true colours to show. Be more peacock in your approach to life as you face challenges with courage and confidence. These are all good qualities to bring to yoga on and off the mat but don’t worry I won’t be teaching the peacock pose in a Dru Yoga class anytime soon!

PS – The yoga class has given our mascot a name, I am pleased to introduce Prana Peacock!

Appreciate the Good and the Good Appreciates

I was recently asked to contribute a blog post to Ahead for Business which has been developed to support small business owners to take action on their own mental health and wellbeing through personalised resources and tools that are tailored to their specific needs. More than 4 million people experience mental ill-health each year and almost half the population has experienced a mental illness at some time in their life. I reflect on my own journey into small business as a solo owner operator and some of the challenges and tips I have to share.

Ahimsa

With all that has been unfolding in the world over the last year or so I have found myself coming back to the Yoga Sutras to find equanimity in these polarising times. Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga outlined in the Yoga Sutras provide the means to achieve the ultimate state of balance and harmony both within ourselves and the world around us. One of the most acclaimed exponents of these principles was Mahatma Ghandi.

Be Kind

Today is World Kindness Day and locally Choose Respect Bunbury continues to share the Choose Kindness message. Their message cards ask us to show some care and to share some kindness. Last year I shared the message to spread seeds of kindness because as the saying goes in a world where you can be anything, be kind. Small acts of kindness can ripple out into our families, communities and the whole world.
