Kirtan Album Release & Free Bhakti Yoga Practice :)



Hello *|FNAME|*,

How are you?
  It's been a while since I posted something- so it feels very nice to get back into the groove a little today :)

  I am so happy to announce the release of my new yoga music album: Kirtan :) 


   I have had the pleasure of chanting mantras as part of my yoga practice for over 20 years and the songs I am sharing are very much in my heart. 

  There is lots of beautiful Mantra singing happening every day in my life and the power and the importance of Bhakti yoga (the yoga of devotion/ the heart) is entirely present for me right now. 

 To hear the whole album head to www.yogawithsacha.com  (and click Yoga Music).

For Free Yoga Friday this week I would like to share the first song of the album at the Yoga with Sacha YouTube Channel:

  Mantra's are certainly not something everybody enjoys, they can be tricky, they can show us where some of our judgements and resistance lies and they can help us release some of our 'stuff' ...which lets face it is not always fun. However the upside is that the tool of reciting a mantra or singing devotional music is something that we can find in every culture across history right up to the present day because it can also make us feel sooo good!

   Today's invitation for practice is to take 10 mins out of your busy day to listen to some Yoga Music. The lyrics are listed in the video so for sure you can try to sing along (although easier mantras for that are coming soon..).

  You can also try making a nice cup of herbal tea or glass of water and sit mindfully to just listen- to put down the emails and the to-do list and engage in a short musical meditation with me.

  OR You can even roll out the yoga mat and do a gentle self-led practice for yourself using this music as a backdrop.

  I hope you find a way to practice a little Bhakti yoga today and that you enjoy this offering- it very much comes from my heart. 


Namaste!

Lazy & Slow ❤️ A Live Yin Yoga Class to Rebalance & Rejuvinate...

https://youtu.be/kclpEbg3ipU Hello love :) How are you?   I hope this message finds you well :) For me at the moment life has been super- busy. Every minute seems to be something going on. I feel very grateful as its been full of lovely things like singing mantras, teaching yoga and being with my little ones. For me life definitely has that high summer energy right now.     Summer is a particularly good time to practice yin, it helps cool us down, calm us down and keep the balance by making space for something slow, subtle, and introspective at a time when life tends to be hot, fast and outward focussed.     I hope you enjoy this session and that you have a great week,      :) Sacha  PS You can access all my exclusive courses and music at my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/yogawithsacha or gain access to my new course on Insight Timer: Mantras for awakening here: https://insighttimer.com/meditation-courses/course_mantras-for-transf...

3 Tibetan Tools to Increase your happiness today...

Photo by Vicky Christell on Pixabay Tibetan Buddhism is an ancient tradition that has spanned the centuries helping its practitioners to overcome suffering, increase compassion and find true, lasting happiness within.   The Dalai Lama (world-renowned leader of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddism), has won hearts around the globe for his warmth, down- to- earth wisdom and gentle social and political activism. Today I would love to share a few techniques he mentions in his book- The Art of Happiness (co-written with psychologist Howard Cutler), as well as to share with you a form of yoga that is alleged to have originated in Tibet over 2500 years ago. 1. Re-train your brain for happiness... “A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.” ― Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness In Buddism, it is common to reflect upon the causes of the good and bad circumstances in one's life and thus to take full responsibility for ones ow...

What do you surrender to... & what do you resist?

Here's this weeks video: Yoga For Surrender Hello Beautiful Soul,      How are you?       Here we are again- meeting in this virtual world, co-creating this moment together - right now while the external world does its thing.      These past few weeks I have been thinking a lot about presence/ mindfulness/ the simple, powerful tool of embracing the present moment.     To the best of my (rather limited) ability I've been surrounding to this moment- no matter how different things may turn out then what I planned and no matter how hard things may seem out there in the world... or in here in my own mind.     I keep observing that resisting the way things are does not change them, but only brings stress to me.  So why resist?!  What happens if I just surrender and allow it all to be?-  All the beauty. All the pain. Just allowing everything to be as it is in this moment and th...
