Hi there,

​How are you? So it's already been 1 month of lock down. After arriving back from New Zealand to Sydney I completed my 2 week self isolation, just before they bought the hotel lock downs in, thank you god.

This time forced relaxation at home provided me with the space and time to take my Yoga Business back online but this time LIVE. I have had an online  Yoga Business and have been  helping women from all over Australia and New Zealand and in Bali for the past ten years for weight loss coaching, Yoga and the 10 week MBT program where online yoga workouts are included. But nothing like this, live classes daily. 

I have loved teaching yoga over the years and have has my own yoga practice for over 20 years, plus coaching women  1-1 and in large group classes, but not live session like I am doing today.

I am absolutely  loving it more and more as I fine tune the classes and settle into this new structure and way of life. What I am valuing is the practice and the structure it is adding to my and my members days. I have to be grateful for COVID-19 for helping me return back to regular Yoga Teaching. I feel truly grateful around such an uncertain time, right now. My heart goes out to those losing jobs and being faced with challenges around family, schools, financial worries and caring for their elderly people. Everything we are facing comes with challenges, but one thing I know, Yoga can help you cope. It has been my coping mechnsism for Life. 

​For me, beginning the day with Yoga is gold, it helps wake you up, open the joints and I believe get your creative energy flowing, helping you to have a productive day ahead. I also value the Yin relaxation class at the end of each class.

Check out my updates on my Live Yoga Studio via Instagram nickyarthur2_ of FB nickyarthurMBT

This time will pass, with patience and positivity we can get through this together, however I couldn't think of a better time to embrace and reboot or learn Yoga from home. 



Even though some of my Yoga Classes filmed from over 10 years ago, these videos are still current today, because, Yoga never dates. 


Yoga is an ancient practice and our bodies can seek different styles at different times of our lives.


While I am ageing, I am embracing more and more relaxing Yoga,  meditation and Yin style Yoga, however I do notice in my own body it does need the stronger postures to keep tone, strength, core and fitness.  


The workout  below provides a shorter and stronger  Yogafit workout. It runs for 20 mins.




I wanted to share with you more health benefits of Yoga. 


Other physical benefits of yoga include:


  • increased flexibility.
  • increased muscle strength and tone.
  • improved respiration, energy and vitality.
  • maintaining a balanced metabolism.
  • weight reduction.
  • cardio and circulatory health.
  • improved athletic performance.
  • protection from injury.
Mental and internal benefits or yoga include:


  • Increases your blood flow
  • Betters your bone health
  • Drains your lymphs and boosts immunity
  • Drops your blood pressure
  • Regulates your adrenal glands
  • Makes you happier
  • Founds a healthy lifestyle
  • Lowers blood sugar
  • Helps you focus
  • Relaxes your system - shifting the balance from the sympathetic nervous system (or the fight-or-flight response) to the parasympathetic nervous system. 
  • Maintains your nervous system
  • Releases tension in your limbs
  • Helps you sleep deeper
  • Boosts your immune system functionality
  • Gives your lungs room to breathe - Yogis tend to take fewer breaths of greater volume, which is both calming and more efficient. 
  • Prevents IBS and other digestive problems -Ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation—all of these can be exacerbated by stress.
  • Prevents IBS and other digestive problems
  • Ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation—all of these can be exacerbated by stress. So if you stress less, you'll suffer less. 
  • Increases your self-esteem 
  • Connects you with guidance 
  • Keeps allergies and viruses at bay -Kriyas, or cleansing practices, are another element of yoga. They include everything from rapid breathing exercises to elaborate internal cleansings of the intestines. 
  • Helps you to increase your selfcare
  • Supports your connective tissue


I want you to think about your daily routines today and how you can factor in this time for you on a day to day basis. 


EG If you are finding you need you nature walks, and running out of time to fit in your yoga, how can you fit your Walk in first to warm up your body, build fitness and cardio then finish with Yoga.


Another few tips for your home practice.


  • Practice on an empty stomach
 
  • Drink plenty of water or lemon water prior and after.
 
  • Commit to Yin Practice at night to help you sleep and unwind. 
 
  • Feeling your back and muscles is normal, you haven't been stretching and now you are, it is normal to feel soreness. Try Magnesium 

If you would like to join us, all you have to do is click the link on the Live online Yoga page and I will be in touch soon.

The classes are

    Mood Boosters

    Picture

    Hi there,


    Have you had a massive week! Restoring your temple and your mind is everything for living life with passion and VITALITY.






    We all need a little mood boosting from time to time.


    These Tips are practical and they work.


    Mood Booster Techniques


    Control the direction of your thinking- choose to identify and eliminate negative thoughts from your mind.


    1. Choose your peer group wisely-they can either lift you up or tear you down. Be bold and be honest in your assessment of your circle of influence.


    2. Get plenty of quality sleep- invest in a comfortable mattress, pillows, soft sheets and tranquil thoughts. Use the mediation CDs to help you relax and to clear your mind before sleep.


    3. De-clutter your space- an organised environment at home and at work results in an increased sense of calmness.


    4. Keep your work and home environment bright and airy- light increases serotonin levels and lifts mood. An airy environment helps increase oxygen flow and energy levels.


    5. Listen to uplifting music- Music is the ultimate mood changer. It can take you from the depths of listlessness to the heights of exhilaration. Invest in an ipod or MP3 player with your favorite mood booster play lists on it. Try Wilson Phillips 'Hold On', Savage Garden 'Affirmation', your favourite band, or embrace some yoga music such as 'Deva Premal', spiritual, sensuous and relaxing.


    6. Stay aware of your body language- posture and facial expressions are powerful influences on the brain's neuro-transmitters, so walk tall, sit straight and smile!


    7. Take a break and do something different- just doing something different will help break the state that you're in (e.g. if you've been working on the computer for a long period, just get up and walk around or try having a fresh glass of cold water or telling a joke).


    8. Use the power of visualization- we can re-live a previous highlight or future utopia (and its associated positive emotions) at any stage by using the creative energy of our minds.


    9. Look for reasons to laugh- the act of laughing, or even faking a laugh can elevate mood levels significantly. It is my mission to make people laugh again and be happy!


    10 Aromatherapy-when lavender and rosemary scent oils are emitted from an oil diffuser, people tend to feel more contented and relaxed. Try my blend at night of geranium and lavender oil.


    11. Massage-touch creates measurable changes in brain wave activity. Treat yourself to a professional massage or get your partner to stimulate energy flow and mood through massage.


    12. Engage in acts of kindness- helping others not only makes us feel good, but it helps other people to feel better, because they see that you care about them.


    13. Nutrition- You are what you eat. A healthy diet will provide you with more energy and vitality.


    14. Get out and about around Nature. Research has noted that spending time at around trees helps increase good quality oxygen to your body.
    For me this is my number one too along with yoga & meditation. 👌🏻🌾

    Let me introduce myself, I’m Nicky Arthur International Author, Yoga and Fitness  Coach,  Vegan specialist,  & Fitness Model Competitor, above all a mother of two beautiful healthy energetic young girls. For me that’s my most prized accomplishment. However, being a Mum and juggling it all can be challenging. But it doesn't necessarily mean you have to stop setting your own goals and dreams.
    I love physical challenges and yoga has taught me the power of your mind. Often the mind stops you from doing the exercises than the body, are bodies are much stronger & flexible than we think and our minds are even more powerful.

    My work is based on helping women and  mums transform their body and life.

    The  10 week Body Transformation  program is aimed to help you look fit & healthy but more importantly feel good in the inside. I have the right recipe ticking all the right boxes for living a holistic, drug free, pain free happy exciting satisfied life. It is not just about weight loss, or fitness, it is about internal health and happiness, learning how your body works. In 10 weeks. I provide you with a plan, the tools and help you to you dream body so you can live your own dream life.
