We have had so many personal messages and comments over the past weeks as to how Pai Tula and it's teachers have held such a unique and special place in our members lives and we wanted to say thank you 😊 your support is valued and you are cherished but what we love the most is the laughter, the countless times when the impossible becomes possible and the smiles of accomplishment when our fellow yogis find their balance find their feet, find their focus, find their breath and sacred place in their own lives and that's what our studio and community thrives on! Please add a comment below if you'd like to share with the community about our studio and sacred space 🕉

Do you have some questions that need answering? Ask them here and our tribe will get you the answers you're looking for. Let's start: Q: What is the right amount of time to wait after eating, before practicing yoga asana? And how long should I wait after practicing yoga before I can eat? A: Two hours after you eat is generally when you have an empty stomach and it’s okay to practice yoga. If you are starving and haven't eaten all day and need some nourishment it’s fine to eat a banana or have a little juice to sustain you through the practice. Try avoid heavy meals as this will disturb your energy and stomach. Q: Why do we "OM" at the end of class, is it religious? A: You are welcome to say "Amen" or any other form of gratitude and thanks but this is what om means. OM is said to be the sound of the universe. It is a symbol of our connection to all living things and beings. It is a way to seal in the lessons of the yoga class. It is however, pretty intimidating to new students, and you are by no means required to participate. You are also allowed to giggle, yogis love laughter. It's more about making a sound to ground you and bring you back after savasana. Q: I have an injury must I stop yoga for this time? A: Yoga is not a sport that you abstain from during injury. If you have the means to do a private, the teacher can show you an adaptive practice to do at home and in class to actually help heal and stretch out the injury (depending on the damage and diagnosis). Otherwise, keep coming to class and leave out the poses that use that body part. The yoga world sees injuries a little differently from the western world. An injury can often be an experience of the body seeking attention to and asking for you to be more present with yourself. Spending time on the mat while injured can be a very insightful practice and often help find the route cause of the injury. For example: whether it's on the mat or off the mat, if you've let's say, hurt your shoulder. It could be the universe giving you a gentle reminder that you are taking on too much and need to ground yourself more. You can do this by staying off the arm and doing more poses on your feet (warriors etc) and then taking a child's pose or even balance pose instead of planks and weight bearing things. See how it works? Our bodies are magic and have intricate wordless wisdom, when we are willing to listen. There are so many yoga asana (poses) that can be done while our bodies heal, it is a practice of patience but definitely worthwhile. Always remember, yoga practice is to heal and bring balance.

If you are keen to join our beautiful country picnic under the stars after an invigorating partner yoga session but don't know who to bring either then please let us know and we'll help you out!

Hey guys over the last few months we have felt that a lot of our students fellow tribe members have a lot to share. We miss being able to do this in the comfort of our studio due to covid so we'd like to open a discussion here creating an opportunity for you all to share a short story with us. It can be anything that you want to share including current life events that you might need some insight on from another trusted member; how yoga has impacted you ; what you want to see more of in our classes; an encouraging few lines to those in need of support. We encourage you to do this as you never know who might be going through a similar event and could relate to you. I started the conversation yesterday in case you didn't see it I will repost below.... Health and happiness to our whole tribe 🌸🧚‍♀️
