Yoga + Chocolate

Yoga + Chocolate.
These would have to be two of my favourite things!

I read about this on Yeah Dave's Guide to Living in the Moment .

Dave gives a chocolate tasting before and after his two hour vinyasa flow class.
The chocolate is a metaphor emphasizing that anything in life is better, richer, sweeter when experienced in the present moment. 

I think this is definitely how we are meant to eat chocolate, slowly and consciously.

Dave has a number of novel ideas of using life's treats to live in the present moment.
It’s not just chocolate…I’ll show you how great music, yoga, wine, or any everyday passion can become an accessible gateway to the present moment.

I also like this similar concept; Yoga + Wine...

Simplify your life...

I wrote this quote on the board at the Surf Motel here in Yamba this morning. I found it on a blog called Tiny Buddha. It's a great blog sub-titled simple wisdom for complex lives.

Read this blog every morning and I'm sure it will help you to have a better day!

This article on Tiny Buddha gives 10 steps to simplify your work life...

Meditation Capsules - A Mindfulness Program for Children.

I bought this book little while ago when a friend heard Janet Etty-Leal speak at a yoga conference. Meditation is such a wonderful skill to learn, so why not teach it to children? Something which may seem little, or no big deal to us can be worrying and stressful for their little minds!

The program has been implemented in Victorian schools and the results and feedback has been amazing.

Watch this clip on children meditating.

I am so keen on this! I love it...
