Yoga Is A Practice.
"The Art of Learning to Listen to
Your Body"
Yoga is about moving mindfully.
It is about the art of awareness, about learning to listen to your body. At the beginning of class, I suggest to students to check in, to notice how their body, breath and mind feel on that day, at that particular moment. I suggest that they listen to their breath and their body as they move and adapt the poses where needed to suit their current abilities and mood. I let them know that it is ok to rest in child’s pose, to stop when they need, to adjust the pose and make use of props to create ease especially if their breath is no longer smooth and steady.
There are students who push themselves, who choose the ‘hardest’ version of the pose, who feel they are not 'trying' unless there is some aspect of force. Their breath may quicken, their faces may show discomfort or even grimace in pain.
I understand how they are feeling, it is a challenge to go against the general idea that we have to push and strive to achieve a goal of some sort. It is difficult to let go of the image in your mind about how the pose ‘should’ look and instead find your own version of the pose, that works for your body, where you feel that sweet spot between effort and ease.
In our society we are so often taught that more is better – more speed, more strength, more effort, more flexibility.
In this ‘no pain, no gain’ culture and especially in a gym environment it can be difficult to switch to a yoga mindset. It is natural to want to make progress and to improve but when moving mindfully and with awareness the chance of injury and setback is much lower, bringing physical benefits in the long run. This also allows the other benefits of yoga to the mind and emotional states.
If you are an athlete your mindset will be different during training and competition. You will want push yourself to your limits and the aim is usually to be the best – the fastest, strongest etc. Yoga can be a great recovery for athletes. If you are an athlete, yoga can assist you in tuning into your body and can help you to learn to listen to what your body needs during yoga practice without having to compete with the person next to you or with yourself. This understanding of ones own body and connection to breath can be so beneficial when returning to training or competition. It can teach you how to pace yourself best on the course or track and to learn when to push or to rest.
Many of us have been on autopilot for years and are disconnected from what is happening in our bodies. For students new to yoga the concept of looking within and noticing how your body, breath and mind feel can be really foreign and can often be an uncomfortable and confronting experience at first. Sometimes it is only after injury or illness that we first learn these valuable lessons.
Slowing down and being mindful might mean that your yoga practice changes over time. You might decide that some styles of yoga or yoga poses no longer suit you and your body despite practicing them for years. This could be because you get older, your body changes or perhaps your mindset changes. Whatever the reason it is ok. The difference between yoga and some other activities is that it is not about getting ‘better’ at the pose. It is all about experiencing the pose in each moment which can change from day to day. I always remind students of this with balance poses. Your ability to balance does improve with practice but can depend on so many other factors. You may one day do the ‘perfect’ headstand and not be able to do it at all the next. This is why we call yoga a ‘practice’. Practicing yoga is an opportunity to learn more about yourself, physically and mentally. It is only when you approach yoga with an open and curious mind that you will learn these lesson
I hope you will join us at Pranayoga Bathurst

Flow & Release Yoga - often it looks like there isn’t much happening In the beginning - the practice offers the body & mind a state of relaxation, rest & wellbeing.
But with practice we can invite in uncomfortable feelings deeply buried within.
In doing so we can soften, open, expand & move more deeply into our natural state of happiness.
IF YOU LET IT, YOGA CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
I truly believe yoga will help to cultivate and build the foundations which will support and strengthen your body and focus your mind.
Side effects include: lowered stress, feeling happier, more flexible, confidence booster, lower blood pressure, more focused, mood regulator need I go on

Magical Morocco Adventure ✨
A Journey of Discovery 🕌🌙🧘♀️
27 September - 10 October, we travel beyond the ordinary…
into the colours, textures, rhythms and ancient wisdom of Morocco.
Think soulful yoga beneath wide desert skies, rooftops, on the beaches.
Slow mornings. Sacred movement. Deep breaths.
Spice-scented air, bustling souks, quiet moments of awe.
A journey not just across land - but inward, toward yourself.
This retreat is for the curious hearts,
the seekers, the feelers,
those ready to soften, open, remember who they are.
Come as you are.
Leave a little lighter.
Changed in all the best ways 🐪 ✨ 🕌 🏝️ 🧘♀️💗
✨ Magical Morocco Retreat
📅 27 Sept – 10 Oct -26

With love,
Jan 🌙🧘♀️
Going on a retreat is like a vacation for the soul. 😍❤️🔆
With the fast-paced nature of our lives, we tend to fall out of touch with our bodies, our minds, our goals, and our higher purpose.
Our souls crave for us to push the reset button and to give ourselves an uplifting rest and revival.
I invite you to establish and evolve a practice that brings more magic into your daily life, through the art and act of travel, finding flow in yoga, connecting with new cultures, meeting like-minded people and gathering inspiration in new rituals and unique flavours
"Fall in love with taking care of yourself. Mind. Body. Spirit.”
