Yoga is practiced by more than 1.4 million Australians and by many millions more worldwide. Many who practice it seek the physical benefits. There are also powerful benefits of yoga for your mental health.

As spring breathes new life into the world around us, many of us feel a natural inclination to refresh and renew. This season isn’t just about clearing out our wardrobes or dusting the corners of our homes; it’s an opportunity to cleanse our inner world as well.

You can feel it in the air. It’s the time of year when winter starts to fade away. Where the days feel a little warmer, and light shines brighter and lasts longer. Where nature that was resting throughout the colder months starts to bloom again – and in many ways, us humans begin to do the same.

In the hustle and bustle of modern living, the importance of maintaining good mental health has never been more paramount.

The perfect self-care routine depends on your needs, schedule, and personal preferences. 

Spring is the season of renewal, a time when nature awakens and new beginnings flourish. At Soulful Fitness, we believe this is the perfect moment to embrace change and nurture your well-being.

In the world of yoga and Pilates, there’s often a preference for one over the other. But have you thought about combining the two into your workout schedule? When combined, the practices offer a perfect balance between building strength and stability and mindful movement and flow.

It all begins with an idea.

Over a century ago an unknown plant lover attached a solarium to the south side of the building that now serves as our yoga center. Owing to architectural changes over the years, the room is no longer really usable, but its large windows still bring in warm, radiant light.

The difference between happiness and joy is that happiness depends on external circumstances. Joy is a deeper upwelling that comes from within ourselves and is not limited to what is happening around us.

Summer is the pitta time of year—when pitta dosha, consisting of the fire and water elements, rules. Pitta is one of the three Ayurvedic doshas, or qualities, and each person’s unique constitution contains all three—although typically one quality predominates.
