Hello!

I’ve decided to start from scratch with this whole website thing. I’ll still have a blog on my new site, and there’ll be news and some online content and yoga/wellness related material made downloadable very soon.

If you’re interested in following along – http://www.manifest-yoga.com has all you’ll need to know! (Click and follow)

If not, that’s cool too!

Thanks,

Jenny

Listen to your YES

There is a transitory phase that must be lived – not skipped, not muted, not ignored – In order to truly grow. To shed layers and perceptions and old ways Old ways of thinking, being, seeing… Most of that phase, Will be both conscious and unconscious, as you ebb and flow between states of knowing not knowing, knowing, being afraid of knowing, Opening and then finally, accepting Who you’ve been…

I’ve not been able to write here for a while. Simply because there has been so much happening in my life that work, teaching and other writing commitments have gotten in the way. Also because I’ve not really had the clarity to write anything I feel is in alignment with the theme of this blog…until now.

I recently posted a badly-recorded cover of ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries, translated into…

‘Do The Work’ – On Finding What Works, and Working Through Mental Illness

Sometimes I pretend that the steady stream of cars and buses on the busy, non-stop main road that runs right outside the house I’m currently living in is actually the ocean. If I close my eyes and imagine hard enough, distance myself fully from the missing factors – salty air, a sea breeze, sand in nooks and crannies you don’t even know exist until there’s sand in them – it’s actually quite easy.

A recent post I made on Instagram has got me thinking, and I’d really appreciate some feedback on this one.

How Yoga Helped Me Understand and Battle My Anxiety & Eating Disorder

How Yoga Helped Me Understand and Battle My Anxiety & Eating Disorder   I’ve used the word ‘battle’ here in relation to Anxiety and Eating Disorders as it kind of suggests a war or struggle of some sort against a relentless evil foe. Think of it as an enemy that freezes its victims (or in this case, rational thoughts) on impact. It’s clever. It uses a great deal of sly trickery and downright…

Grey Matter

For what it’s worth, I can’t think of anything more vibrant, More techni-coloured, spirit-soaring, smile-inducing and bright, than Freeing yourself from the box-room cosy complex That nothing you do will ever amount to anything.

Because it’s the easiest thing in the world To do nothing. It’s the easiest thing in the world To let the greyness win. Surrendering. Submitting. Settling for…

Malas and 108 – What Does it Mean?

  Malas and 108 – What Does it Mean?

  Malas and the number 108 have long both mystified and intrigued yogis, geometrists, architects, astrologists, musicians and artists alike. Indeed anyone who deals with any kind of numbers, sequences, patterns or formations on a daily basis or as part of their work will be sure to have come across the number 108 on numerous occasions – even if they weren’t…

Exploring our Potential to Take Action

 – Young activists growing up in Bali are proving that age should not and does not limit our potential to take action – in fact, it should work as an incentive to achieve and maintain change for a better future.

  It’s been scientifically proven that we humans use only 10-20% of our potential brain capacity on a daily basis. That’s 10-20% spent thinking…

Why We Need To Start Taking Ourselves Where We Need To Go

“You have brains in your head, You have feet in your shoes, You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own, and you know what you know, and YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go” – Dr. Seuss, “Oh The Places You’ll Go”

I’m going to be bluntly honest here. I come from a sheltered society where we were brought up very much in fear of the outside world and what it could…

10 Yoga Retreats for Adventure Addicts

10 Yoga Retreats for Adventure Addicts

(-by Ocativa Drughi)

  If you’re anything like me, then you probably have trouble staying in one place for too long and repeating the same patterns day after day. It’s easy to get stuck in a routine. As a yoga practitioner with itchy feet, I often find myself struggling to create a balance between the static and dynamic movements in my exercises as well as…

Yoga in Sri Lanka – 7 Amazing Places to Practice

Yoga in Sri Lanka – 8 Great Places to Practice

It’s taken me a while to get around to shortlisting places to do yoga in Sri Lanka. Hell, it’s taken me a while to get around to writing anything about Sri Lanka. I’ve found this becomes customary when you become preoccupied with having an incredible time somewhere and forget to keep track of any ‘work-related’ obligations you may have set for…

5 Great Places to Practice Yoga in Dublin

  Right so, yoga in Dublin is on the up, the bandwagon (or brightly coloured mat) has caught your eye, and it looks tempting.

I’m not going to be preachy here, I’m just going to lay it out as it is – yoga is great. For mental health, for physical wellbeing, for anyone who has ever struggled with recognising their own worth and needs a bit of coaxing to…

Some of us may have a vague inclination as to what the 3 doshas are, however it’s rare we get the opportunity to delve deeper into our individual constitution. In this series of blog posts we hope to help you understand further what it means to be a Vata, Pitta, or Kapha type, and also what this means in terms of your…

The Link Between ‘Healthy Eating’ and Yoga

The Link Between ‘Healthy Eating’ and Yoga

As the popularity of yoga grows, it seems to be accompanied by an onslaught of ‘healthy eating’ ideaologies and the simultaneous rise of vegan, vegetarian, organically-conscious lifestyles. While it may seem that every second yoga studio is now all of a sudden expanding and exhaling coffee machines, fruit juicers, tables, chairs and funky hipster tunes…

'Claiming Authentic Power - How Yoga Helps to Harness the Power Within'... #yoga #energy

Claiming Authentic Power – How Yoga Helps Us To Harness the Power Within “To the degree that we do not fully claim our own power to transform, we are more likely to be possessed by this energy in it’s shadow form” – Carol S. Pearson I have not resonated with a quote on such an intense level for quite a while. I’m also a firm believer that each one of us has the power to direct and redirect our…
