Step Into Your Power - Harness the Energy of Your Solar Plexus

Picture
​I love nothing more than feeling the sunlight on my face. It's one of the reasons I named my business "Clear Skies Yoga". If I could spend the rest of my life on the beach, soaking up the Vitamin D, I would. 

The sun features heavily in our modern yoga practice, most notably with the practice of Surya Namaskar, Sun Salutations. When you Salute the Sun you are honouring all of the blessings of being alive. Through your practice you can cultivate gratitude for receiving warmth, light, vitality & nourishment from the sun's light.

What the bloody hell is a Chakra and why are we talking about them anyway?

Picture
You've heard your yoga teacher say it, "this pose balances your base chakra" or "feel your heart chakra blossoming open". I remember when I first signed up for yoga, I was so determined not to be drawn into 'all that hippy crap'. Even when I signed up for teacher training, the first thing I checked was the length of the facilitator's underarm hair (it was non-existent, just so you know). But little by little, tiny gem of wisdom after tiny gem, I found myself becoming more and more fascinated by the philosophy of yoga, and how, through these practices, we come to a greater sense of wellbeing and ease. ​

The Yoga of Vegemite Toast and Milky Tea

Picture
Sharing the deeper teachings of yoga and helping students find their own unique path to yoga is a passion of mine. Alongside Tanya Zappala of Clayfield Yoga I facilitate a series of yoga and meditation workshops in Brisbane called Ground to Grow.

Click here to read our blog on BlessedBrisbane.com.au and find out how Vegemite toast and good ole' fashioned black tea with milk and sugar led us to working together to share our passion for contemporary yoga.

A Sky Full of Stars

Picture
from Clear Skies Yoga Banyo teacher Kylie Walker 

Every time I hear a Coldplay song it reminds me of a friend that passed away some years ago and in particular this one song “A sky full of stars”, which he never got to hear. It’s so poignant but so buoyant, it’s almost as though it was written about our loss of him, but at the same time it’s a dance party.

Finding focus when you have a million things to do.

Picture
I'm the first to admit it. I don't do balance very well sometimes. Well, most of the time. Yoga has been the only space of refuge for me from a very busy life balancing motherhood, being a partner, maintaining friendships and occasionally actually finding time to be with myself.

    Alison Sykes is a Brisbane based yoga teacher, mama to three CRAZY boys, and wife to a very non-yogic but super cool bloke. She is determined to keep yoga accessible for everyday people, and even though she can handstand (not off the wall, yet!), she doesn't really think it's the key to happiness. Her Clear Skies Yoga classes run on Brisbane's northside, and she offers pain management yoga sessions through the Brisbane Pain Rehabilitation Service. She's been on the staff of Brisbane CBDs Shri Yoga since 2010, and offers an extension program called Ground to Grow alongside Clayfield Yoga's Tanya Zappala.
