Over the last few years I have experienced the real benefit in routine and natural rhythms. Prior to 2020 I was traveling full time “home-free” for about 4 or 5 years. Every day looked different, every week was a different location and while I had my morning and evening rituals it’s only since being grounded in Bali that I realize how much ease comes through relating to time from one place.  I want to share a practice, something I have been anchoring for myself over these last years that has proven to be a powerful and practical way to bridge the divide between my inner and outer world, a ..read more

The word passion is inherently loaded. It  has the potential to play out in either positive or negative ways, it has the power to paralyze us into inaction and there’s a pressure to feel it on a daily basis.  If you are feeling lackluster about teaching yoga or  “I don’t even know what my passion is anymore”  We are about to extract the deeper essence of passion and how to make it last.  But first, a little context on why I think keeping the Passion alive is part of our practice as yogis.  Circa 2015, I was attending a YTT,  thousands of miles away from ..read more

I don’t have to point out that social media content is getting shorter by the day. Whether you’re on Instagr Tiktok or You Tube, or if you do the dance between all three you will have noticed that the videos are getting more bite sized with every update to the algorithm. We are all subject to the addictive nature of these platforms, often tapping on the icon without even taking a breath to consider - do I actually want to go there Next time you wrap up a social media scrolling session, check in with how you feel. If you feel inspired, expanded and at peace; GREAT But if you’re feeling scattere ..read more

It was as I lay in bed (scrolling) with my toddler napping beside me thatI learned that Sally Kempton has left this earthly realm. She is one of the great Teachers of our time, in the tradition of tantra and bhakti and in Life.  I was overcome with emotion at this news last week, Sally is the first teacher who has impacted my life so directly that has left the body. And honestly, I was a little surprised by my response.  Like so many others, Im sure, I got her books off the shelf, and let her words wash over me once again. I've been sitting with the Sri Gita Gita mantra in the ear ..read more

Introducing Agni, your digestive fire
Yoga Alchemy Perth Blog

Understanding the ups and downs of our digestive system, known in Ayurveda as our digestive fire or Jathar Agni, is one of the biggest keys to unlocking our long term health, vitality & radiance. Before we get into how to restore the balance of your fire, I want to share a personal story with you.  For most of my teenage years and through my twenties I had terrible eating habits. Not only was the food pretty much void of nutrients, in high school I would start with a coffee, have a bag of crisps & a diet coke for lunch & a bowl of instant noodles after school - eating nothing ..read more

I want to share something with you that feels a little vulnerable, but more importantly I want to share the tools I was able to garner from the realm of Ayurveda that helped me through the process and out of it.  The lead up  About 6 months ago I stopped breastfeeding. I had been feeling into it  for a while, initially I knew it was on the horizon but I wasn’t ready,getting misty eyed at the thought of stopping. As the months went by I got to the point where I felt “I can’t have another period while breastfeeding” we were already down to just one feed in the morning and one ..read more

Why your 6pm Vinyasa Flow is throwing you off balance I want to share with you the Ayurvedic wisdom that explains why practicing Vinyasa style in the evening causes all kinds of imbalance and what we should be doing instead. But first, I need to take you back in time.  Circa 2012, I opened a tiny boutique yoga studio in the heart of the seedy, nightclub district of Perth’s inner city. The studio sat above a dungeon-like internet gaming place where I occasionally had to pop in to borrow their printer, and next door to a strip club where glamorous girls streamed through the back alley d ..read more

Ayurveda is the science of vitality, a nature based system to support the Whole person as a complete package! Ayurveda is often described as the sister science to yoga, but in truth Ayurveda is more like an umbrella that covers our whole life.  Holistic vitality considers the body, mind, senses, emotions, age, astrology, work, relationships and reincarnating soul.  Having developed out of the Vedas (the most ancient Hindu scriptures in India) over 5000 years ago, Ayurveda is the world's oldest traditional medicine and the only science/spiritual traditions that have an unbroken develo ..read more

The feminine approach to Ayurveda
Yoga Alchemy Perth Blog
by Amanda Noga
1y ago
Before I got into Ayurveda I was practising Ashtanga yoga, which is famously known as being “designed for young boys, by men” On my visits to India and in my early study of yoga and vedic philosophy I didn’t come across any information or guidance addressing life in a woman’s body. Not until I traveled down the path of studying ayurveda with a woman doctor, did the realm of women’s wellbeing and feminine spirituality open up. Although many of the old textbooks on Ayurveda are dense, rigid and dry - the essence of Ayurveda is juicy, life affirming and ever evolving. She teaches us how to speak ..read more

How digital technology is affecting your Dosha

The Perfect Storm We are living in a time where we are constantly (literally 24/7) being bombarded by electricity and radiation from digital devices. This stimulation of the nervous system, coupled with our bullet-train-paced lifestyle, eating and working on the go is the Perfect Storm for creating a Vata imbalance.  Vata is connected to the air element, when there is an excess (or what we call in Ayurveda) an imbalance, we might experience feeling ungrounded, anxious and overwhelmed.  The more dense elements like fire, earth and water, associated with the Pitta and Kalpha doshas are ..read more
