Guru Purnima/Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse/Just a damn hawt day here in London ūüėé ...but for the sake of this post,let‚Äôs focus on the first one ay? ..
_ GURU PURNIMA ūüôŹūüŹľtoday is the day we give thanks to our teachers, the ones who shed light to our darkness and guide us to be our highest self.
... _ Practice yoga or not, everyone’s had a teacher in their life.
_ I can safely say that I’ve had many: My family, dance teachers, art teachers at school, university lecturers, my friends, relationships ...not to mention some freakin’ bad-ass devoted, inspiring in every way, Yoga teachers; who have shaped my practice and forced me to surrender, trust and dive soooo so deep. I am incredibly thankful to each and every one of those people and to be honest every single one of them, in their own way, has taught me the same thing: I have the power to do absolutely anything I set my mind to if I just let go of my own limitations, get out of my own way and follow my intuition.
_ What you seek you all ready are. A teacher/Guru of any kind is there to guide the process of you discovering that. To call you out when you’re hiding, when you’re selling yourself short or when you’re taking the easy route. A teacher is a vital part of your growth and understanding of you practice and life in general but you are your own Guru. ✨#gurupurnima

I was asked how well Nitara fairs for hot yoga and - having actually never taken a hot yoga class in my life - I said ‚ÄúI can‚Äôt speak from experience BUT I have personally tested our pieces out at KPJAYI in Mysore, and if it can handle they heat in there I‚Äôm pretty sure it can handle anything!‚ÄĚ
Then, just to be sure, I took my little ashtangi booty into the hot room to see for myself.
And I can say that YES nitara was perfect for the heat (no sweat marks over here!)...and as for me - it was fun! the sequence was cool but that external heat made me feel dizzy af! So, I‚Äôm gunna stick to the Mysore room I recon ūüėČ #triedandtested #sweatyface

I've umm-ed and ahh-ed about sharing this because its not going to make your day any more possitive...but at the end of the day this is REAL and it. is. not. OK!
Although it left me feeling uncomfortable and angry (not to mention very grateful that I was none of the people behind these stories!) It's well worth a read!...www.rachelbrathen.com/blog

I've started looking at the Yoga Sutras one by one and finding a way to apply that ancient lesson into real life (or city life in 2017 anyways..)
This week was sutra 1.4: where Patanjali explains that the thoughts of the mind act like cloud that distorts the perception of the soul and the purity of your soul, can't always shine through. So, to allow the soul to come to light, we have to cleanse the mind ‚ėĀÔłŹ‚ėĀÔłŹ‚ėĀÔłŹ
