Uma Dinsmore-Tuli is one of my wonderful yoga teachers. She trained me in the art of yoga nidra, and some of you may be familiar with one or two of her practices that I offer from time to time.

Uma, and her husband Nirlipta, are offering a gorgeous nidra practice every afternoon at 3:00pm, and everybody is welcome, so why not treat your Self to the precious luxury of settling in, getting really comfortable and relaxing through all the layers of your being. Click here to listen live, or at any other time.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti x

Hi everybody. 

The Mandala Yoga Ashram residents are currently chanting the Mrityunjaya mantra 27 times every morning at 7:30am and the invitation is there for anybody who wants to join them (we don’t always manage 7:30am as we haven’t always finished our practice by then!).  After the mantra, they have recorded a beautiful metta (loving kindness) meditation that you can also join in with.  We find it very calming, and it is a good way to help to raise the vibration of our struggling planet right now, by sending out the traditional mantra for healing, along with loving kindness to the world, at a time when it really needs it. If you would like to access this practice go to:

www.mandalayogaashram.co.uk, then click on Ashram Blog, and scroll down to the third post (Mrityunjaya Mantra Chant/Meditation by Swami Satyadaya), led by Swami Satyadaya. 

If you would like to practice just the mantra without the meditation, then the second post (Mrityunjaya Mantra) is led by beloved Swamiji (Swami Nishchalananda) the ashram’s founder, a truly beautiful being, who is full of light and love. 

With love and best wishes to you all.

We will close with some delicious, healing Restorative poses and nidra, to fully nurture and rest.

Drawing on my western Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) learnings and experience, and Eastern Wisdom, gained through my yoga therapy practice, yoga teaching, and over thirty five years of personal yoga practice. Each week, we will explore an uncomfortable emotion, what it means to us, and how we can learn not only to live with it, but to use it to our best advantage in navigating the bumpy path of life.  We shall create a safe and nurturing environment, where we can build mutual trust and understanding, and students will be encouraged to positively support each other off their mats as well as on them. Rediscover Peace of Mind.
