YogaDeepika

On asana and the energy body • We can use asana to access the energy body to eventually go full circle into the subtle body, as the yogis of old could access more easily with less distraction. • In a material world where we are drawn to the tangible, we use the physical to access the subtle. • Yoga beyond the pose • #asanapractice #yoga #energybody #philosophy (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU22rpCs6Zq/?utm_medium=tumblr

When you're on the right path, the universe will open up to you. • You will no longer feel you're pushing against a brick wall. • #park #path #walking #walk #morning #mornings #morningwalks (at Bedminster, Bristol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUzReFrMxYl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Imagine your self as a simple pebble, resting on the shore. With the sand on your back and the sun upon your face you lay here. • Listen to the sounds of the waves. Link the waters flow with the breath, flowing in, flowing out. The natural spontaneous breath moving with the sound of the sea. Listen and become absorbed in the sounds and movements of the water. • Peaceful and calming. • A little snippet from a guided meditation I wrote after my visit to Lyme Regis yesterday, to celebrate 4 years of being with my life partner @_francesca_danti . • Beautiful to see expression of life everywhere. • Om namah shivaya Namaste • #lymeregis #seaside #beach #sunshine #sun #anniversary #love #meditations #guidedmeditation #meditation #appreciationpost (at Charmouth Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTkaAv4MSD2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let go. • Our attachments are what imprison us. If we are able to detach ourselves from circumstances that are out of our control, we will find peace resonating from within. • Will you allow what has happened to you to you to effect your whole day, week, month or even your year? 😊 • Smile and know that the only thing you can control and that has control of you is your Self. • Om namah shivaya Namaste • Post inspired by @greenlife.app • #lettinggo #letgo #selfcontrol #innerhappiness #selfhelp #thoughts #thinking #nonattachment #causeandeffect #theself (at Bedminster, Bristol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTcl4bYMkJL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yoga is for everyone, at every level, in any state of being. • Practice and you will see results. • Om namah shivaya Namaste • #yogaforeverybody #yogaforeveryone #yoga #senioryoga #chairyoga #seatedyoga #exercise #feelalive #yogaoutside #onetooneyoga (at Flax Bourton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTSd7uSsIum/?utm_medium=tumblr

When the body calls for help, signs of illness may occur. • The body knows what the mind sometimes tries to hide. • Listen not just with your ears, but with all the senses available to you. Then you will discover the truth. • For those looking for a gentle seated practice, I've recently uploaded a short 20-minute practice that help me move in times of lethargy and healing. Link in bio. • Rest and recover well.

It is ourselves that is responsible for our wellbeing, it falls to us to determine how we are and how we interact with the world. • We carry the innocence of birth with us. It is when we allow the world to shape us that we lose this innocence. Attachment to false idols and self abuse covers our all encompassing love. • Free yourself from ignorance and self judgement, for you are perfect at the centre of it all. • Meditate daily and the body and mind will slowly dissolve into bliss. • Om namah shivaya Namaste • #meditation #dailypractice #yoga #mindfulness #selfhelp #wellbeing #innocence #attachment #love #mala #malabeads #ashramlife (at Sivananda Yoga Vidya Peetham) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSrN_LXsOrO/?utm_medium=tumblr

When we share our love with others, love will be shared with us in return. • We must lead by example, live how we would want others to live, yet pressurise them not, for we all need to discover our own way of living at our own pace, in our own time. Just because it is right for you now, does not mean is it right for them. • Om namah shivaya Namaste • #love #connection #dog #animals #doghug #dogcuddles #livebyexample #leadbyexample #selfdiscovery #yogaoffthemat (at Cleeve, Somerset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSoe5kjjs8c/?utm_medium=tumblr

If only we allow ourselves to be open, we will see opportunity in every occasion. • Nature is there as guidance, showing you how to reconnect and understand yourself and the world around you. • You are central, unique, a flower about to blossom. • Om namah shivaya Namaste • #nature #blackberries #blackberry #blackberrypicking #natureprovides #wildberries #befree #beopen #beyourself #bristol (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmOQ3YjFtI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Upon undertaking an journey, we must first consult our Selves. • We may never be ready physically or mentally, but we are always ready within the Self. • And along the journeys path, we must continually consult with the Self. • Remember that it is the true unchangeable being that prevails all perception. • You are always ready. • Om namah shivaya Namaste • #journey #selfhelp #hills #arthursseat #edinburgh #wilderness #yoga #philosophy #theself #youareenough (at Arthur's Seat) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSY5d3MMxus/?utm_medium=tumblr

Through teaching, we also learn. • This weekend of teaching yoga with @kangayoga @farmfestuk has been brilliant and I wish to share my gratitude for everyone who made this happen and for those that attended the wellness sessions. • I hope and pray every enjoyed their experiences, it was a pleasure to work, practice and play amongst such open and receptive people. • Om namah shivaya Namaste • #farmfest #farmfestival #yoga #festival #festivalyoga #wellness #yogateacher #kangaspa #kangayoga #gratitude (at Farmfestival Somerset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSCFYKasa57/?utm_medium=tumblr

With continued guidance and support it is not so easy to fall far from the path of liberation. • Trust in your teacher is a must, but blind faith is not something to adhere to.

It's easy to say we don't have time for this or that, but in reality it is time that doesn't have you. • You are in complete control of how you spend your time, what you do with it, how much you waste or use. It is true that time waits for no-one, so why wait for time? • Make time now, to heal and nourish yourself, so that you can perform better, live better, love more, be more. Not just for yourself but for those you love and for those that need your support. • We all have a choice. What you choose to do now, will effect the future for yourself and for others. • We are all connected • Om namah shivaya Namaste. • #maketime #yoga #betteryourself #bebetter #lovemore #livemore #youareenough #time #timewaitsfornoone #onlineyogaclasses (at Anywhere) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtSsfFMEQH/?utm_medium=tumblr

When the sun shines from the inside, it lights up even the darkest corners. • With regular commitment and practice, you begin to notice even the subtle changes that can make you blissful during any moment. • We begin to notice whether we are acting or re-acting, if we are present or absent and whether we are in the right place or with the right company. • Be patient and all is coming. • Namaste • #yoga #inpersonyogaclasses #hathayoga #yogi #yogapractice #benefitsofyoga #practice #selfhelp #innerpeace #harmony (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQoWRhGsYc-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Like taking a bath for the soul. • Deep rest and relaxation is needed for restoration. • In restorative yoga, we focus on the non-doing or un-doing of action. We allow the body to melt and come into the pose as naturally as possible, with no strain or effort. We allow the pranic body, the energy body, to guide us through the subtle movements. • By remaining in awareness, we can take in the whole picture, the whole body and allow nature to do the work it has been trying to do all along. • Tonight's restorative yoga class will start at 5:30 - 6:30 pm BST and is held via Zoom. • If you would like to attend, please email your request to [email protected]. This class is pay what you feel from £5-£10. • Let us return back to nature and melt away the physical tensions of the day. • Namaste • #restorativeyoga #yinyoga #rest #relax #easyyoga #yogaforall #yogabristol #restore #restorativepractices #musclerelaxation (at Sivananda Yoga Vidya Peetham) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQiumhxjTjQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
