Mauna Brata – The practice of noble silence

Mauna Brata is a traditional variation of the yoga practice, where we follow a sequence of postures in complete silence. The student honours the practice and his fellow practitioners by restraining from speech and committing to noble silence.

These first few weeks of January we have been working on pranayama - the art of breath. Due to the fires the air around us was full of smoke and through the practice of breath control we generated clear energy from within.🧘🏽‍♀️The practice of pranayama is very powerful and can significantly enhance your practice of posture!😍 Considering the weather conditions, kapalabhati pranayama (sharp exhales through the mouth) in particular felt right - it helps to clear toxins and release stagnant energy.

Detailed blog article on Pranayama and its benefits will be released this week - stay tuned 🙏 ✨Reminder!✨We are closed on Sunday-Monday Australia Day public holiday (26-27.1)

As you know our studio always valued the strength of a community and after having to teach classes in what feels like a cloud of smoke yesterday I thought we can do more to help those who are fighting the fires for all of us🙏
I’ve donated some of last week’s profits and am intending to donate this week’s profits to @cfavic and other organisations to support fire relief.
You are welcome to enjoy classes this week and purchase passes knowing that the profits go towards a good cause. Also if it is more convenient for you, you are welcome to bring in a donation to the studio and I will ad it to the whole lot, as I’ve been donating bit by bit every day the past few days🙏

Today marks two years since I opened our beautiful sanctuary in Prahran.🥳
I just wanted to send a big thank you to all of our community for helping me fulfil my vision and make the dream of Active Sanctuary come to life!😍
These were challenging two years with a lot of ups and downs but I am so proud of everything we achieved as a community. More than ever before, I feel that the studio fully fulfilled its purpose in my life; it became a major source of healing for me personally while also helping others connect to their authentic self.💞✨🙏 Your teacher, Anna @annandiyoga

We choose to enjoy a quiet January with a slightly reduced timetable this year. (be updates via @mindbody @classpass or our website) This is to ease back into routine slowly after a great holiday season.
I am taking this month to re think and create more adventures for our Yogi community in 2020.😍
Hit me up with ideas and offers for collaboration!💞
I would love to have more guest teachers for workshops as well as know what would YOU like me to share more of in my classes and events ✨🙏
Namaste,
Anna
