Our brains need regular exercise, just like the rest of the body. Puzzles and riddles are a great way to give them a bit of a workout, but did you know that spending just 12 minutes a day performing a memory boosting Kundalini Meditation such as the Kirtan Kriya has been proven to reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, keeping the brain fit and healthy? The key elements of the Kirtan Kriya meditation are the chants and the hand motions, also called the mantra and the mudra. The combination helps to increase brain activity, especially in areas of the brain that are essential to memory and recall. So, why not give this Kirtan Kriya a go, and see how it can benefit you? 🧘🏻‍♀️✨ 📸: by @pexels #kundaliniyoga #kundalinimeditation #serpentineyoga

1% BETTER EVERY DAY
“The aggregation of marginal gains, which is the philosophy of searching for a tiny margin of improvement in everything you do on a daily basis is so easy to overestimate. Too often, we convince ourselves that massive success requires massive action, we put pressure on ourselves to make some earth-shattering improvement that everyone will talk about. Meanwhile, improving by 1 percent isn’t particularly notable, sometimes it isn’t even noticeable—but it can be far more meaningful, especially in the long run. Notice how the opposite is also true, if you eat an unhealthy meal today, the scale doesn’t move much. If you work late tonight and ignore your family, they will probably forgive you. If you procrastinate and put your project off until tomorrow, there will usually be time to finish it later. A single decision is easy to dismiss. But when we repeat 1 percent errors, day after day, by replicating poor decisions, duplicating tiny mistakes, and rationalizing little excuses, our small choices compound into toxic results. It’s the accumulation of many missteps, a 1 percent decline here and there that eventually leads to a bigger problem. Time magnifies the margin between success and failure. It will multiply whatever you feed it. Good habits make time your ally. Bad habits make time your enemy.”
📚: Atomic Habits by @jamesclear

"This is for any woman who has felt overwhelmed and exhausted by everything she had to do, and yet still worried she was not doing “enough.” You’ve heard the usual advice over and over: exercise, green smoothies, self-compassion, bubble baths, gratitude… You’ve probably tried a lot of it. So have we. And sometimes, it helps, at least for a while. But then a new work project lands in our laps, the kids are struggling in school, or our partner needs support through a difficulty, and we think, I’ll do the self-care thing as soon as I finish this. The problem is not that women don’t try. On the contrary, we’re trying all the time to do and be all the things everyone demands from us. The problem isn’t even that we don’t know how. The problem is the world has turned “wellness” into yet another goal everyone “should” strive for, but only people with time and money and nannies and yachts and Oprah’s phone number seem to actually be able to achieve it." So just for a moment, let’s pause, and slow down our breath, letting the mind follow the breath, and the body functions will follow the mind. This can create a chain reaction to begin to heal the body and mind, allowing you to relax. Try it for yourself, and let us know if it works for you. #kundaliniyoga #serpentineyoga #kundalinipranayama

Isn't the pretties gong you have ever seen? 🌀Sound is a magical tool to cultivate and support deep relaxation. 🎥: @gongdwana #soundmeditation #gongsoundbath #serpentineyoga

The forward bend is the basis of many other movements in Kundalini Yoga, such as leg stretches and standing forward bends. This stretch of the body's whole backside helps relieve stress and reduce fatigue creating length and space in the spine and stretching shoulders and hamstrings. Forward bends are not about how deep you can go but how deeply you can release. There's no need to struggle or force the body to get into a position it's not ready for. Instead, surrender to the present moment, notice the experience, and settle into the breath. To perform the forward bend movement safely and effectively, follow the steps in the slides. #kundaliniyoga #asana #serpentineyoga
