“Each person’s life is like a mandala – a vast limitless circle. We stand in the centre of our own circle,
and everything we see, hear and think forms the mandala of our life.”
Pema Chodron

The Mandala Book Club is now inactive however I will still share yoga books and podcasts that inspire me here on this page.

One of the five Niyamas in Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga is Svadhyaya, self study or education of the self. Reading sacred and inspirational books can be part of your daily practice of yoga.

Please feel free to watch the recordings of book discussions from our previous book club online gatherings.

The moon phase for this retreat will be a waning crescent moon perfect to resting and recuperating. Surrender to the universe and use this time to heal and relax.

A time to prepare for a new cycle! Nurturing your mind and body before the the next cycle begins. It marks the transition towards the new moon, a fresh start and a time for planting seeds of intention.

It should also be a perfect time for mindfulness meditation under the stars, opening up to the cosmos. The best time to go stargazing is the days before, during and soon after each new moon, when there is no moon in the sky. During these times, there is no bright moon to wash out the light from fainter stars.

Feel into and unwind your fascia with this weeks y Feel into and unwind your fascia with this weeks yoga classes! The fascial system, a network of connective tissue throughout the body, is believed to store emotional experiences, including trauma and stress, in a way that can manifest physically. This happens as the fascia tightens and becomes restricted in response to emotional or stressful events, potentially leading to pain, stiffness, and limited movement. Subtle and repetitive yoga practices can help ease the tension.
