Finding Plenty

Ah, October - the month of falling leaves, pumpkin spice everything, and that sneaky chill in the air that reminds us winter is around the corner. It's also the perfect time to harvest more than just apples and pumpkins.

Let's talk about abundance, what it is, and how yoga can be your secret ingredient to a more abundant life.

Abundance is like the rainbow of happiness - everyone talks about it, but it seems to vanish when you try to pin it down. Some folks make it look effortless, and some make it sound as easy as finding a pound on the pavement. But for most of us, it's not that easy.

Abundance isn't just about rolling in a pile of gold coins (although, that does sound nice). It's about feeling like you've hit the jackpot in various aspects of your life - whether it's that warm and fuzzy feeling of having more love, joy, or opportunities; or of having more pumpkin spice lattes than you can handle.

Confronting the Darker Side

In our pursuit of abundance, it's vital to acknowledge the shadows that lurk beneath the surface. Sometimes, we're confronted wth the stark horror of recognising our own lack of abundance. These are the moments when our generosity of spirit wavers, and the moments of meanness that we'd rather were keep hidden.

These moments can be extremely unsettling, reminding us of our imperfect humanity. And these moments can be VERY ugly. However, it's precisely in these moments of recognition that we have the opportunity to change and grow.

Now, you might be wondering how on earth yoga fits into this picture. Well, hold onto your yoga mats, because we're about to explore how your favourite downward dog can lead you to a cornucopia of abundance.

Finding Abundance on the mat

Picture this: You roll out your yoga mat take a deep breath, and begin your practice. As you flow through poses and connect with your breath, you start to notice something magical happening. Your worries and stresses fade away, leaving room for gratitude to bloom.

Here are a few ways yoga helps us tap into abundance:

1. Gratitude Flow: In the midst of a yoga class, it's hard not to feel thankful for the strength and flexibility of your body. This gratitude can spill over into other areas of your lfe, making you appreciate the abundance of health and mobility you have.
2. Letting Go as you breathe: Yoga teaches us to release tension and negativity on every exhale. When you let go of what what doesn't serve you on your mat, you create space for abundance to flow in.
3. Present Moment Awareness: Abundance is found in the here and now. Yoga encourages us to be fully present, appreciating each moment as it unfolds. When you live in the moment, you discover the richness of life that's often overlooked.
4. Community and Connection: Yoga classes are a great place to connect with like-minded people. Building meaningful relationships is a key aspect of abundance, as it brings more love and support into your life.

Creating More Abundance in your Life

Now, you might be wondering how to carry that post-yoga bliss into your daily life. Here are a few tips:

1. Daily Gratitude: Start and end your day by listing three things you're grateful for. This simple practice can shfit your focus towards abundance.
2. Visualise Abundance: Close your eyes and imagine your life overflowing with abundance. The mind is a powerful tool, and visualisation can manifest your desires.
3. Share your Abundance: When you experience abundance, share it with others. Acts of kindness and generosity create a ripple effect of plenty in the world

So, there you have it - abundance isn't just a concept; it's a way of life, and yoga is your golden ticket to unlock its treasures. Join us in our October Yoga classes, and let's discover the laughter, love, and pumpkin spiced lattes that await on this abundant journey.
