Acceptance, Compassion and Humility :)

Hi there!

How are you today?

What has this week brought you?

Are you doing well... or toughing it out?

What a combination of experiences life can bring!

For me this week has brought a mixture of beauty, reflection, harmony, dissonance, relaxation and anxiety. It has felt very full! All the richness of life has been here with all the 'ahhhs' and all the 'ouch's' :)

I once again reflect upon the importance of acceptance. Acceptance of the external things that happen to us- both good and bad. And also acceptance of ourselves both good and bad, just the way we are, right now. This can be a tough one as the temptation is there to always be 'moving things forward' and yet, of course, this can never happen from any place but where one is right now!

Another re-occurring theme is compassion. The importance of wishing well for others, taking the time to understand the many different places we all come from and to offer love and respect wherever and whenever possible... Also trying to practice this for ourselves, which can often be the hardest thing of all.

These two things seem to lead to humility.

What would life be like if we were always humble enough to face the truth of our flaws?

If once we could fully embrace our own 'stuff' then we could take the necessary actions to repair any hurt caused?

What if while we did this we could also be loving enough to show compassion to ourselves and those around us?

...It strikes me that if this balance exists it might just be one definition of heaven on earth!

Bed Yoga- A gentle class for a great night's sleep...

Hello beautiful people, How are you? Today I am super happy to share a bed yoga class with you :) Bed Yoga: A Gentle Practice for a Great Nights Sleep https://youtu.be/jNl6ofLGrPE I. Love. Bed. Yoga! To take a little bit of time, first thing in the morning or last thing at night, elevated on your own comfy mattress, dressed in your pyjamas to do a restorative and relaxing sequence seems to make for some truly yummy self-care time! I've created a whole course of Bed Yoga classes that I have released on my Patreon site- and there are still some more in progress. I hope that you enjoy this session and that it helped you to unwind and sleep wonderfully. Namaste, :) Sacha To support yoga with Sacha, access special online content and monthly live sessions become a Patron at: www.Patreon.com/yogawithsacha Find out about music, retreats, one to one sessions and much more at: www.YogaWithSacha.com

Last Days of Jan...

How are you? Welcome to the final days 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 :) In these last sessions the invitation is to round things off and integrate :) Many goals and intensions begin in January and I know all to well the feeling that one has fallen off the wagon or become lost in old patterns once again- so now is the perfect time to practice self-compassion and take a moment to observe what your experience has been so far this year and to use the lessons life has brought you and the lessons from your heart to re-dedicate yourself to whatever is important to you- Realistically, honestly and lovingly! A few questions to reflect upon are: What have you learned this January? Is there anything you would like to integrate more deeply? How does your yoga practice support you? Are there any gentle goals or intensions that would support you going forwards?

31 Day Yoga Challenge week 2 :)

Hello lovely being :) How are you? Welcome to week 2 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 :) Within myself I am still feeling very much in a post x-mas cloud! It feels hard to find the time and the motivation to accomplish very much in these days... but it is like that sometimes isn't it?! Younger versions of me would probably have tried to 'push through it', but this time I am attempting a different strategy- to breathe into it, to practice self-compassion, to take all non-essentials off my plate and ride out this phase knowing that another one will start when the time is right. It is such a profound thing to be able to accept things as they are and to take many slow deep breaths. So if you have been keeping up with the challenge so far then well done! And if you have not then that is also just fine :) Dip into the sessions below if/when you
