Hello and thanks for listening,  This is a 45 minute intermediate/ advanced practice which will lead you through the 5 koshas. A complete yoga nidra will lead you through these five layers, but this practice does so explicitly, guiding you into an experience of each layer, or sheath, and naming it so that you can create an internal map and identify landmarks within the interior landscape.  This is not a beginner's practice.  Yogic sleep (Yoga Nidra) is an internal yoga practice, simila...

November 27, 2018 06:01 - 8 minutes - 12.5 MB

Ep 78 Kindness to self mindfulness meditation for stress

July 03, 2018 05:54 - 10 minutes - 15.3 MB

Noone brings about positive change or improvement with criticism! this includes the way you talk to yourself. Question: Would you want to spend time with someone who spoke to you the way you speak to yourself? If the answer is no, then some self-kindness is in order. In Buddhism, the word compassion includes compassion to self, as it is recognised that true compassion can only exist if it includes self as well as others. Be your own cheerleader. Enjoy, Namaste Morven x

Ep 62 Level 1 Yoga and Mindfulness

February 18, 2016 10:22 - 1 hour - 96.2 MB

Hi All, This is the last class for a while. The sound quality isn't wonderful but it's doable - I played the episode on my computer and it was ok but you may want to play it through some better speakers. This one weaves kindness into practice and explores the three states of human experience - achieving, threat and soothing. Kindness is in the last one - "soothing" -  which is the state we try to cultivate in yoga. It's a PRACTICE so don't be put off if you don't get it straight away. The ...

Ep 59 10 mins Abdominal Breathing restorative session

July 31, 2015 07:30 - 13 minutes - 19.1 MB

Hi All, This is a short and sweet breathing practice for you. Abdominal breathing is the simplest but most effective pranayama there is!

August 06, 2014 10:37 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MB

Dear All, This class, you will notice, is an old class. Several classes dropped off the list when I changed from Podbean to Libsyn hosting services. It was recorded in 2012, but as yoga is 5000 years old I figured its age doesn't matter too much.  Some of the info will be outdated - my email now is [email protected] and the host web address is http://yogacommunity.libsyn.com/ and not at Podbean.  Next up will be a women's yoga class that I am recording today at the Penny Broh...
