One spot left in my super-relaxing (shed the stress) forest day yoga retreat this Saturday. Only restorative yoga and guided meditation - nothing strenuous. No yoga experience needed. Only a desire to feel better. Lunch included, and forest bath, spa and more.

Yoga achieves this too, and a whole lot more! Gosh those ancient yogis were clever. My favourite part of teaching yoga is at the end - the yoga calm effect. People sit a minute or two longer, basked in their change of state. Needing nothing. Knowing everything. Without effort. Complete. Sure. And this stays throughout the day beyond, to some extent. Struggle arises and their practice leads the way. Peace cannot be known by the mind. Ishva. Come and learn with me in BeCalmed Studio's little forest haven in Titahi Bay.

Exercising until you reach a temporary state of euphoria, calm, or clarity delivers much more than pleasure.

Kia ora e te whānau. You don't need to go to Bali, or pay thousands for a yoga retreat, or be in a luxury rainforest (code for native bush) to feel what yoga and meditation can do. If you are an ordinary person who struggles, please reach out. Yoga-meditation is for everybody. Traditionally, it was people who had absolutely nothing except for the clothes on their skin and an open heart who walked the path. They were the ones, the sages and rishis, who found a quieter way to be in the world, and walked the path and then shared it with others. Yoga is ordinary. The path is for everyone. Let me know what kind of time and resources you have and we will begin. Aroha nui e hoa.

Yoga is not just asana - that's just the bit that escaped from India to the 'West" via Hollywood. I hear a lot that "but that's what people want". How do they know what they don't know? Isn't it up to us to change the story? What is most peoples' favourite part of yoga? Shavasana, the lying down bit, where we get to integrate and practice being our true selves.. When I first started doing yoga in my 20s, the teacher would say 'now go into shavasana for relaxation, or you can leave now if you want". So I did. I hated being still. Now it's my favourite thing to teach.

Here is this challenge, from a great master, one that I take up right now. I pledge to continue to guide students into yoga's true purpose - meditation and seva (service).

"Today the world is practicing yoga asana, but they are not living the yogic lifestyle. Yoga is not just a quick work out you do for one hour and forget about it. It is a way of living with mindfulness, simplicity, discipline, positivity and clarity...if your yoga doesn't make you a better person then it is not complete...the real expression of spirituality is kindness"

These important words are from Bihar School of Yoga's Sawmi Niranjananand Saraswati from the Satyanana yoga tradition. Here is the full address. It may be the most important video on yoga you will see this year.

Swami Niranjanananda Sarawati has given a message to all the yoga a...
