Think back to when you woke up this morning. Did you immediately rise and set your intention for the day? Or did you hit the snooze button twice, or was it three times? How you start your day is the ultimate indicator for how your day will progress. By beginning your day mindfully and putting healthy practices first, you are more likely to continue that pattern as you navigate through a busy and hectic schedule. What works for one person may not work for all, but for many, finding those moments of peace and introspection in the morning can restore balance.

Meditation and mindfulness are big buzzwords these days. The benefits of feeling more calm, clear and connected would make anyone at least a little interested in trying it out. With the boom of the wellbeing industry, meditation might be considered to be a luxury… something to do ‘when you have the time’. But with our minds on overdrive, stress of the rise and no sign of things slowing down, meditation is becoming more and more of a necessity.

I wonder if you’re like me and sometimes become overwhelmed by the fast pace of life and the rate at which we are bombarded by information? Always trying to squeeze more into the day? Not to mention phone checking, App notifications, text messages, emails, hyperlinks, social media… Agghh! ‘Cognitive overload’ impacts our ability to remain focused and grounded. When I walk from one room into another with a task in mind, and then forget what the task was, before I even enter the next room, I know my mind is overwhelmed and grounding is in order. I need to unplug and get back to basics.

“We believe the ultimate goal in life is to follow your bliss and inspire others to do the same.”- Honza & Claudine Lafond After 15 days in beautiful Bali we return rejuvenated, inspired and maybe a little more flexible! We have traveled to Bali a number of times over the past 10 years (mainly due to Dustin’s surfing) however this trip was in a league of its own. Our first stop was in Padang Bai (east Bali) where we both completed an intensive teacher training in acroyoga. ACROVINYASA is a style of yoga that combines a solo Vinyasa practice, inversion training and acroyoga.

Who’s ready to join Dustin at the world’s only mindful triathlon? Wanderlust is coming to Melbourne to bring people together for a field day centred on the mind, body and soul. First you’ll run, walk, skip or strut 5 kilometres and then find you’re rhythm with a 75 minute yoga flow taught by Dustin alongside a bunch of other OMazing yogis and underscored by a DJ. You’ll round out the day with a 30-minute guided meditation to clear your mind and relax your body.

You may have noticed a new addittion chilling out in our studio. Thanks to our friends at Green St Juice Co. we are excited to introduce our very own Warrior One Yoga alkaline water. These little bottles of OMazingness will not only keep you hydrated, they are also filled to the brim with other benefits for your body and our beautiful planet.

We are so honoured and excited to have been nominated for the Melbourne Loves Yoga Appreciation Awards! This is the first year of the event, which is part of Melbourne Loves Yoga’s initiative to support and promote the flourishing Melbourne Yoga scene. The organisation’s goal is simple; by spreading the word about the best yoga teachers and studios around they hope that more people will take up a regular yoga practice and change their lives for the better.

How many of our female members have begged their partner, a family member or a male friend to come to a yoga class, only to be met with resistance and opposition? Myths and stereotypes surrounding yoga are a major demotivator for men. Yoga is often (wrongly!) viewed as being too feminine, too soft, too hippy or too New Age - not a ‘real’ workout. What many men don’t realise is that yoga can be just as intense exercise as weights or cardio. Yoga allows you to hone your mental focus, rid your body of toxins, and boost your physical performance. The hardest part for most men is challenging the misconceptions and taking the leap to merely try out a class.
