Find your yogic self with yoga – not the skinny place

Have you found your yogic self yet? Yoga isn't just another fitness bandwagon, it's an age old spiritual practice that challenges you, shows you your ego and changes your body energy. Anything else is just pretty pants. You won't find your yogic self by looking in the skinny place.

Meet your yogic self on inspirational ground

Find your yogic self.

Flicking through my Yoga magazine today I saw a lot of toned bodies. I saw an article entitled “Cheat, drink and still shrink!”  Plus lots of very pretty yoga outfits, women having coffee with their yoga outfits on. Namaste right here, girl.

Ack. That’s what I call Skinny Yoga. Aspire! Be thin(ner). Be in vogue. Stretch and shrink. Get your designer mat, keep up with the Yogashions, take your vitamins, run, run with the Fitness movement.

But what about your yogic self?

Yoga can be all of that if it helps you. It can be so much more!! Certainly, yoga has grown over the centuries and during the last 30 years in the USA, becoming an international pastime. Hell, even doctors recommend it now because regular yoga practice can reduce blood pressure, increase flexibility and even produce antioxidants in the body.

And again I say, keep searching for your yogic self

With all the other inducements out there, I would call on you to find your yogic self, too. To me, this is the energetic part of us that connects, resonates and grows with yoga practice. The part that makes us hungry for yoga again even if we have left it a while, even if we think we are done with yoga for now.

Buy your nice outfit, since feeling good in yoga makes me work harder, I do know that.

Read magazines so you will learn more about yoga and maybe even find a new move that you haven’t experienced yet.

Read, search, meditate for the yogic self

Find some good books on yoga, try kundalini yoga (that will have your yogic you unraveling you and yelling in your face if you haven’t met that aspect of you, yet).

Yoga is all about energy, flow, connecting your energy centers or chakras, and feeling the yogic self, the eternal energy that is part of your soul.

Have you met the 88-year-old woman in class who can plank longer than anyone else?  Have you been inspired by the yoga teacher who looks like your mom but can balance on one hand?  Have you chuckled when you heard the two weight lifters begging for mercy after their first yoga class in your group?

That, in my opinion, is where to start.

The rest is all just pretty pants.

  • I started this blog in 2010 to remember my British mum Margaret, who was highly intuitive, but hid it almost forever - until she told me later in her life. She also told me not to hide what I know, and to write about it! So, here it is.

    I'm also a mom, writer, budding artist, and lover of fantasy novels - and third in a female line of intuitives. Over time, this blog has grown to reflect my spiritual journey, and the readings, coachings, teachings and sessions that I offer.

    In my previous careers, I have worked in UK Broadcast Media (BBC, Sky, Channel 4, ITV). I trained people on computers in a UK Water Authority, then ran a freelance training business, followed by a partner business where we incorporated NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Accelerated learning into technical business trainings.

    During this time I co-created a successful long-running course incorporating Accelerated Learning techniques (1998-2021) and taught business trainers course design techniques, too.

    I hope you enjoy my writing, and maybe you'll consider booking a reading or requesting a chart if you are intrigued by what is offered here.

    Lots of light, and thanks for visiting!
