| Pt 3 • CULTIVATING TAPAS ☀️ The heart of Yoga is experiential, intuitive and alive! When we practice mindfully and with a sincere intention, we are embodying the ESSENCE of Tapas and re-awakening our connection to the vibrant Source of wellbeing. . There’s no doubt, that for Yoga to reveal it’s many LIFE-CHANGING benefits, a specific type of effort is required! However, sometimes Tapas can be misunderstood by modern Western Yogis, who may be drawn to approach their physical practice from a limiting and competitive place of ‘push’ or the need to conquer extreme and difficult postures. This can often fan the destructive flame of ego and bring imbalance into our relationship with Yoga and ourselves. . Instead, when we mindfully invite the spirit of Tapas into our Yoga practice, we cultivate an inner flame which sustains and ILLUMINATES! ☀️ . At it’s core: Tapas is a deep, heartfelt dedication to our practice of Yoga, by cultivating an effort and enthusiasm that is ALIVE, but not weighed down by expectations and results. • This is often hard for the Western mind to grasp! . . Paradoxically, when we practice Yoga with a gentle INTENTION, devotion and patience, the fruits of our efforts naturally appear! ✨ . . Over the coming days I’ll be sharing a little more Yogic inspiration and practical guidance for cultivating the TRANSFORMATIVE QUALITIES of TAPAS. • I hope it serves to enliven your own vibrant enthusiasm for the precious practices of Yoga and Life! • If there’s anything you’d like to share, I’d love to hear from you! 🙏🏼 . Are you a curious Yogin with an adventurous spirit, who’d like to DIVE DEEPER?☀️Registration is open for my NEW AUTUMN IMMERSION SERIES • It starts Sunday 5 May!☀️ • We’ll be practising in the lap of Mother Nature at my forest home in Brookfield (Brisbane).🌿 Spaces are limited, and they’re starting to fill... So if you’re interested, please get in touch! ☀️[ For full details, see Link in my Profile ] . . #transformation #tapas #yogaimmersion #sadhana #livingyoga #yoganature #yogamardi #mardifielding #wholistic #embodiment #yoga #prana #subtlebody #meditation #selfinquiry #pranayama #heartofyoga #brisbaneyoga #consciousliving #awaken

| LOTUS FEET | It’s been a full and joyful weekend! I was blessed once again to assist my beloved Teacher and his beautiful Shakti, during their annual Brisbane gathering. • It was a deep and sweet few days ‘diving into matters of the Heart and Mind’ – via the timeless and transformative Yogic practices of Meditation, Pranayama, Asana, and the boundless non-dual wisdom of Advaita and Tantra. All flowing freely from a most precious, clear Heart into our own... A pure delight! • Feeling so much LOVE and GRATITUDE for it All... and special thanks to my dear sister who brought us all together again • Jai Maa! 🙏🏼✨ . . #gratitude #lotusfeet #love #blessings #shiva #shakti #bhakti #livingyoga #yogicwisdom #advaita #tantra #satya #kali #maa #prana #yoganature #yogamardi #mardifielding #nondualwisdom #yogainspiration #heartofyoga #consciousliving #selfinquiry #subtlebody #pranayama #satsang #brisbaneyoga #awaken

| Pt 2 • AWAKENING THE SPIRIT OF TAPAS ☀️ No matter where we are on our Yoga journey, it’s the spirit or INTENTION with which we practise, that is the key to experiencing the TRANSFORMATIVE HEART of Yoga. . . From a Yogic perspective, TAPAS is the art of generating an attitude of ‘VIBRANT ENTHUSIASM’ and inspired energy – and is one of the five NIYAMAS. • Niyama is the second limb of Yoga as set down by the sage Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras (around the 3rd Century BC). • ‘The Niyamas are [personal] ethical principles that allow us to be in harmony with ourselves, our family, our community’, and the world in which we live. . . These Niyamas express guidelines for LIVING CONSCIOUSLY, in ways that awaken the ‘soulfulness of an individual’.* • They are about the CHOICES we make, initiated from a place of CLARITY and awareness. ☀️ . Over the coming days I’ll be sharing a little more Yogic inspiration and practical guidance for cultivating the TRANSFORMATIVE QUALITIES of TAPAS. • I hope it serves to enliven your own vibrant enthusiasm for the precious practices of Yoga and Life! • If you have any thoughts, experiences or questions you'd like to share, I’d love to hear from you! 🙏🏼 . And if you‘re a curious Yogin with an adventurous spirit, who’d like to DIVE DEEPER – check out the link in my profile – for details about my upcoming AUTUMN IMMERSION SERIES. 🌿 We’ll be practising in the lap of Nature at my home in Brookfield, Brisbane – it starts Sunday 5 May.☀️ . . #transformation #tapas #yogaimmersion #yogainspiration #livingyoga #yoganature #yogamardi #mardifielding #meditation #yoga #wholistic #embodiment #prana #subtlebody #niyamas #heartofyoga #svadhyaya #8limbs #8limbsofyoga #yogicinspiration #yogini #shakti #brisbaneyoga #consciousliving #rmbodiedpractices #movingmeditation #awaken
