Take Your Yoga Practice With You

As a Canadian living in Australia long distance travel has become a part of my life. The prevailing attitude in North American is that 7 hours is an incredibly long flight, and I must say that until I moved to Sydney I felt the same way. That was, until I made the trek back to my parents house on the East Coast of Canada, and racked up a 22 hours in the air – one way.

This sort of long distant travel is a whole new can of worms, and such, it required quite a bit of planning and preparation to ensure that I arrived as coherent and functional as possible. My arsenal of tricks was packed with herbal teas, moisture masques, guided meditations, enough H20 to drown a small bird – and of course, yoga.

How I’m going to sleep my way to clarity

April 15, 2014

I like to think of myself as a pretty good sleeper, and on these rainy Autumn days, there is nothing better than an early night, a cozy doona and a long sound sleep.

So this past weekend, on suitably Autumn day, I did a little more of what I do best and spent a couple of hours with our beautiful contributor Cora, to learn the art of Yoga Nidra or what she refers to as ‘the art of divine sleep’.

The art of divine sleep? sounds like beauty sleep fit for royalty – I was sold. And the best part of what I learned – you could ‘sleep’ during the day and change your thought patterns at the same time. Win win I say.
