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!

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 then from this place I can choose (very carefully) what I wish to do and what I wish to

Enjoy it! Week 4 The Morning Ten 31 Day Yoga Challenge

How are you? Welcome to week 4 of The Morning Ten- your invitation to practice 31 days of yoga (including meditation and mantras)... even if that simply means practising for just 10 minutes a day :) This week the invitation is to enjoy it! Enjoy the practices, enjoy the amazing body that enables you to live your life, and enjoy the present moment and all the experiences that can be found right here, right now. A few questions to reflect upon are: What do you enjoy? What gives you pleasure? What gives you lasting happiness? Is there anything you can incorporate more of (or less of) in your life to increase your sense of enjoyment? For me I'm very much enjoying stealing moments away from my little one to work, play, meditate and practice yoga! I'm also practicing really enjoying many of the common things that I can do without thinking- feeding the baby, taking a shower, walking the dogs... it is lovely to remember to squeeze all the juice out of the simple things :) See b

Time to reconnect...

Here is a link to my latest free Mantra Video: Radha Ramana Haribol Hello Beautiful People, It's good to be back! I don't know about you but for me, life at the moment feels very full once again :) Having an 8-month-old baby is always going to be lots of work I suppose... but even aside from this the summer atmosphere is in full swing, many people surround me and many possible creative projects beckon. I am learning to surrender my expectations and enjoy the ride - and I am also learning to prioritise: This means saying yes to the things that really matter and to say no to the things that simply do not fit on my plate at the moment. I struggle with this one, at any point in time there are around 4000 things I would love to do! But my baby is teaching me that improving the quality of my life can happen when I reduce the quantity of things that I do and simply focus on what matters- with my whole heart and soul. For me yoga and mantras matter. Here is a link to m
