Practicing Gratitude... Even in Challenging Times


Hello Beautiful People,
 How are you? 

So... we head into another week of uncertainty. 
Another week of working with limitations.... both internal and external.
 Another week of breathing through our fears. 

For me this week has felt a little more gentle, the more I am able to surrender to circumstances... the more I am able to work with what IS.

Amongst looking after house, dogs and baby, and many, many, many phone calls and messages with friends and family- I have carved out some time to be creative. I've been writing (a book- more on that much later!) and updating my yoga channel, cleaning things up, refreshing things, revisiting what I hope to say as a teacher; and playing with a better camera and mic (woo hoo!). There will be a higher quality of videos heading to you in the coming months and I'm pleased about this :) 

It's very easy to bang the drum of positivity when all is going well, to stay dedicated to spirituality and self development when life is happy and fun. But I find these qualities of more use now then ever. Now is the time to lean into all the practices that serve you. Now is the time to look after your body, take time to meditate, practice self love, love for others and gratitude for all the things that are going well. Because even when times are terrible there is always something to be grateful for- Even if it is just your own perseverance and strength.

I invite you to join me for a gentle and relaxing yoga practice to cultivate gratitude. It was shot outside in the sunshine a few weeks ago- So I hope you enjoy this virtual vacation and can imagine the sun on your skin and the sand under your toes as you practice to the sound of the sea.  These things haven't gone anywhere- they are right there, waiting for when all of this blows over.  

I hope this message finds you, mustering that inner strength and finding reasons to be grateful of all that life has offered you, is offering you right now; and will offer you in the future.... I am off to write a gratitude list- maybe you wish to join me?!

  Namaste,
  :) s

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...

Loving Compassion :)

        Hello beautiful people :) Today I would like to share a meditation I have practiced many, many times over the years. I learned it a long time ago at the London Buddhist Center and found it an incredibly effective tool for generating a sense of loving-compassion . Click link HERE for free video! Over the years I have used this meditation to radically shift my feelings about myself, people who have presented challenges to me and helped me to get a sense of connection with all living beings- not bad for a 20 min practice :) (In fact once you know it you can do an even quicker version if you need to!) I hope you enjoy it, let me know about your experience with it in the comment section, it is such a pleasure to share these tools with you. Namaste, :) s

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...
