Metal bowl with a candle flame — The Line. My Spiritual Lineage and Acknowledgements

Today’s blog is to honour the life of my Ancestors; to acknowledge the lineage of teachers of yoga and meditation which informs my practice, and the commitment of my guides, mentors and teachers, for their support, guidance and training in my personal and professional growth.

I dedicate today’s post, The Line to you, mum, dad, my daughters, and all the souls who inspire my dreams, aspirations, and orientation to life.

I love you and thank you for your love, support, and guidance.

First, I thank the Creator for the gift of life, for the seen and unseen energies of peace, joy and love flowing through my heart, to the Ancestors who gave birth to the journey.

Thank you for showing us the way, and I pray for your continued guidance, support, and blessings.

14 March 2019 By Ntathu Allen

Author and Founder of Yoga Inspires Ntathu Allen shares the top 7 benefits of practising the Sun Salutation including a video demonstration and detailed How To Guide for Beginners.

Bless you and welcome dear friends to today’s post where I share with you, Part One of a mini-series, The Sun Salutation-A Guide For Complete Yoga Beginners.

Practising a few rounds of the Sun Salutations on a regular basis forms part of my daily self-care rituals to boost my energy and calm and clear my mind. If you are a yoga beginner, I hope you find practising the Sun Salutations a useful way to improve your flexibility, tone your body (especially your upper arms and tummy) and energise your mind, body and spirit.

And if you are into meditation, a few rounds of the Sun Salutation before you start your practice, is the perfect way to prepare your body to sit and meditate.

To start off, I’ll give you a brief description about the benefits of the Sun Salutation, followed by a video showing you how to practise this yoga exercise, plus written guidelines of the same practice.

Parts 2 and 3 of this mini series will cover [Read more…] about The Sun Salutation – A Guide For Complete Yoga Beginners Pt One
