Just as poetry uses words to go beyond language, yoga uses the body to go beyond form. - Jason Bowman - The thing that makes yoga YOGA - as opposed to stretchy exercise - is that we tap into the energy created by guiding our attention inwards, to the sensations, the thoughts, the patterns within, the unfolding and the unveiling of ourselves. And once we can see the patterns of the body, the patterns of the mind, we can start to release them. We start with gross movements, moving subtler and subtler as we become more aware and connected to our inner world. For some, this is a step by step process which really only becomes visible when they look back over time that has passed. For some it is intense, growth and expansion happening in leaps and bounds before things finally settle down. For all of us it is a practice, a thing we do with consistency in order for it to be of benefit to us in our lives. - Ultimately, it’s about finding freedom by diving into the centre of things. #yogajourney #journeykeeper #yogateacher #yogajoy #thecenterofthings #thingsfallapartthecentrecannothold #yogagirl #yogalife #philosophyofyoga #selfstudy #selfobservation #meditation #suspensionyoga #flyhighyoga #fortheloveofyoga (at Lunula Yoga Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0-x653JuQF/?igshid=194tnopdq12np

Full moon blessings 🌕 - We are children of the earth. We look to the skies not to find answers to our questions, but rather to see the questions we should ask. #stephenkingquote #ITquote #fullmoon #journeykeeper #southafricanskies #fullmoonblessings https://www.instagram.com/p/BuEJRPGAwG8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16whq2nuowl1g

Let nothing define you. Any definition (label) excludes the potential for change. Without change, there is no growth. 🖤 Long before my conscious journey into awareness and growth, I had a boyfriend whose constant argument with me was that I had changed. Every time I tried to defend myself by saying I hadn’t. During one argument (our last on this subject) it struck me that yes, I had changed, but also, isn’t that kind of the point? Only fear resists change. 🖤 I am no longer who I was. I no longer carry labels like badges of honour. I do things; I love things; I learn certain things; I am predisposed to things - I am none of these things. These moments of seeing how different the reality is that I inhabit, are amazing. These moments of seeing how everything is still very much the same and that it is me who has changed, are breathtaking. Growth is be*wild*ering in all the best ways. #growthmindset #growthisbeautiful #journeykeeper #awareness #selfobservation #life #changeisgood #dontdefineyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo_Ls7YnEBG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hnu6xswmbv0z

Home 🖤 - Create a life where you go on holiday to explore, not to escape. @lunula_yogastudio #createalifeyoudontneedtoescapefrom #expandyourhorizons #journeykeeper #iworkbarefoot #ilovemyhome #ilovemywork #lovewhatyoudo #yogateacher #yogatribe #budokonyoga #budokonyogasouthafrica #yogalifeb #yogalove #yogasouthafrica #yogavibe #balance (at Midstream Estates) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvwsntxhCip/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=prly44apsmy0

Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times. - Skiing, snow, slopes, and mountains. I can honestly say that I know myself a little better after this trip, and experiencing a place like Val d'Isere has been a real adventure for me. - But now we head home. Tired, happy, and a little less curious. #wanderlust #traveller #journeykeeper #exploretheworld #globetrotter #expandyourhorizons (at Val d'Isère) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvqqu2fh5KR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15oh30zt5qoon

It’s been hard work just getting here. And there’s a ways to go yet. This mind is a beast and it struggles to let go of the patterns that once saved me. There is a willingness to work though. I am trusting that will be the difference. . . Why do I (should you) do handstands? Apart from the potential for fun, the reason to accomplish the handstand lies in the reason I can’t / don’t want to, the understanding of how I am weak and how I can be strong. Those patterns of fear - to stay safe and unnoticed, to not make the mess, to live small - they just no longer serve me. I need to be bigger than them. . . It’s that simple; it’s that complicated. 🎥 @rowenbrownmovement 🙏🏽 for the brilliant guidance #journeytohandstand #journeykeeper #yogajourney #highestexpressionofself #innerjourney #yourmovementtellsyourstory #movementjourney #itiswhatitis #thegrind #thereisworktobedonestill (at Willow Way CrossFit) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn1EKr1AZ93/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cd0m00atfses
