Read moreYoga Music
The countless time I’ve been in a class and fallen deeply in love with a song that I have no idea the name of. While trying to remain present and in the moment, I have at times tried to make a conscious effort to remember to ask my teacher the name of that mysterious piece of music; all the while being swept away by another beautiful song or often times hijacked by my many thoughts. If we end up in pigeon at any point, every emotion under the sun will likely arise and the chance of remembering even the start of the class goes straight out the window. Once I reach Shavasana I’m in a state of utter bliss, from there I will float out of class, make my way home and think to myself ‘I forgot to ask what that song was!!’ For me this story only seems to repeat it-self. See the full post for our teachers favourite songs!
Read moreKundalini Music
Music and Mantra is such a huge part of Kundalini Yoga. When Yogi Bhajan took the teachings of Kundalini Yoga to America in 1969, a fusion of Western-style music and mantra emerged. The mantras that we use in Kundalini yoga are in the sacred language Gurmukhi. The meaning of the mantras are encrypted in the vibrations of the sounds, and the way that they resonate internally through the body.

Read moreVinyasa Yogini vs Yoga Mama
A personal reflection by Senior Yoga Teacher, Teacher Trainer, and mother of two, Jennifer Allen.
As I come to my mat on this particular sunny afternoon, I surrender into my child pose, offering my practice to the simple joy of 45 minutes of quiet, ‘me time’. As I breathe and settle, I take a moment to recognize how much my practice has changed and been humbled over the past few years since becoming a mother. I reflect on how I’ve traded in countless rounds of sweaty vinyasa-sequences consisting of headstands, handstands and forearm balances, in a packed evening class at my local fancy, urban studio, for clearing space in my lounge room and laying my mat amongst my child’s toys, and trying to focus on my practice while I count the dust bunnies underneath my couch.
