Your mind is hidden from you
With yoga, when you do yoga postures (asanas), you are initially working with what you can physically see. In other words, you’re working with your body.
But in addition, you’re working to see and understand your mind, and to refine it.
But it’s of course hard to see the workings of you mind, if not impossible. Instead, we work with our bodies, in order to see how our mind reacts with our bodies.
It’s revealing to see what the interaction of your mind and body can tell you about your mind, and yourself.
For example, we all have anxieties and fears. They may well be hidden from us.
But in yoga poses like balancing poses, or inverted poses, for instance, you can’t put anxiety and fears under a cover. Sometimes, your fear won’t even let you try the pose.
In addition, you may even be starting from the belief that you don’t have any fears.
As well as that, in some groups of poses, where you may be good at them, or better at them, your ego comes up. It can prevent you seeing yourself.
So yoga lets us work at things that increases our awareness of ourselves.
Handstand is an example of an inversion where you overcome your fears. It can be learnt in do-able stages.
Getting to a headspace where you curb you mind chatter
With yoga, as I’ve said, you start working with what is visible to you. For example, you keep your arms straight, or you tighten up the muscles you can see above your knees.
I often talk about the physical and health benefits of yoga. Of course, they are immense.
But yoga is fundamentally about your mind.
For instance, your mind is full of chatter. It’s quick to create a whole series of stories.
Your stories include things like telling yourself you could never do a particular pose, or have the strength or flexibility for various poses.
In turn, those stories take us away from the journey of understanding who each one of us is, and what we can achieve.
What I mean is that the chatter of the mind takes us away from being able to look how our thoughts and actions, and their affect each one of us, as well as on all of us as a community.
So, we do yoga to get our mind quiet enough, and free to chatter, to be able to see ourselves better.
In other words, good quality yoga also lets us look inward, and manage our mind.
Below, you can check out a tiny video about mind chatter. Yoga poses cut mind chatter, and calm your mind, because they force you to mindfully focus on the pose.

Yoga for happiness, with less upsets
The biggest reason for our distress and unhappiness is that we make the wrong assumptions about things.
In minding our mind, we are trying to understand ourselves.
In particular, we are seeking to be less reactive.
For example, instead of “exploding”, we are more able to step back, and look at things without our emotional response. So, you are helping yourself avoid the whirlpool of your emotions.
It’s part of avoiding a bad headspace.
The role of our habits, emotions, and our likes and dislikes, governs most of our behaviour. Sometimes that is all fine. But quite often it takes us to places that get us into difficulties.
When we do get into difficulties, that’s when good quality yoga can help you bounce back from a bad headspace.
Using a prop allows you to stay longer in a pose, and get more benefits from it. This type of restorative yoga pose is excellent for de-stressing, anxiety & other headspace issues. People of all ages use yoga for anxiety, & much more. If you’re too old for Headspace, or want alternatives to Headspace Darwin NT, or Headspace Palmerston, Headspace Casuarina, then try yoga or breath meditation at Flametree Yoga
Living in the present, instead of past or future
For or much of the time, we can also easily live in the past.
We wish things could stay the same. In other words, we want to live in the past. Alternatively, we look endlessly at a new or different future.
But yoga is about being present in this time, here and now. For example, that includes being comfortable with what is, and being able to look dispassionately at what is.
The process of practising yoga poses makes it more likely that you’re mindfully in the present as you do the poses.
The longer that you practice yoga, and the more intensely you do it, the more it will drive you into the present.
This process or path of inquiry as you do poses, and looking at what comes up for you as you do them, is the journey we all make with good quality yoga.
In short, regular yoga is a way to be more present, and live in the present.
For example, a Flametree Yoga student has told us his story of how he suddenly realised he was living more in the present. One day he just noticed that the trees around him looked more beautiful. He was also noticing trees that he had never noticed before.
He told us:
“One day driving home from a yoga class, I noticed that plain old gum trees started looking more beautiful to me.
I was appreciating the natural beauty of “stuff” I have driven past many times.”
Living in a positive headspace Darwin, or wherever
In the traditions of yoga, another aspect of what I’m outlining, is to say that we “suffer” due to our likes, dislikes, misperceptions, misunderstandings, ego, and fears.
But the process of living positively is to move beyond these highly reactive states.
We’re looking for ways to see through all such reactive states, and move beyond them.
For instance, in one of the new, tiny videos, I talk about getting a meditative mind. This includes stepping back, and getting some space between you and your reaction to what is happening around you.
In this regard, having any negativity also gets in the way of transformation.
It could be negativity about a simple thing, such as seeing a new way to do something.
So, I’ve also made a tiny video getting a meditative mind, as well as finding a way to relax.

Moving from a negative or bad headspace
So, yoga or mindfulness meditation are a way to bounce back to a good headspace.
Even when you’re having a bad day, or in bad mood, or if negative thoughts are putting you in a negative headspace, breathwork or yoga is good friend. It’s always there for you.
Any difficult situation is likely to be better with yoga to help.
On a rough day, when your inner critic may be doing its best to give you a bad headspace day, some yoga is much more powerful than things like taking the proverbial long walk in the fresh air.
A lot of people, for a long time, have been using yoga to avoid or fix negative moods, and produce a positive mindset.
It can also do much more for your personal growth
The role of forward bends
In another of the videos, I have shown some forward bends.
Incorporating poses like forward bends in our yoga practice is a way of trying to find balance.
In one sense, they strike a balance between doing and not “doing”. They are not something you can push into.
In another sense, forward bends, although challenging at first, are very calming.
One way to learn them, and get comfortable in them, is to do more of them in restorative yoga. It lets you hold the poses for longer, with suitable support.
Although backbends are fun and energising, we want to avoid constantly “pumping up” ourselves, or our headspace, with backbends. As the saying goes, there’s a time and place for everything under the sun.
In other words, there’s plenty of room for doing backbends, and they’re very important. But they can be overdone.
Instead, your yoga practice, and your headspace, needs to be balanced. There’s where forward bend yoga poses can help.
If you’re looking for an alternative to Headspace Palmerston, or Headspace Casuarina, then try Flametree’s yoga, breathwork, or mindfulness practices.
Yogic philosophy has a lot for a better Darwin headspace
What I’m talking about is part of a modern discussion of the ancient yogic term called karma.
What I’m saying above is a more modern ways to talk about such ancient yoga philosophy.
The good news is that it’s possible to change yourself, and positively impact the world around you.
In addition, it’s possible to be happier.
But first you have to get into the right headspace, so as to be able to see it’s possible to change.
One important aspect of all of this is the idea of connecting to universal humanity. In other words, we can even look well beyond the Darwin headspace, to more global physical and mental headspaces.
My TikTok videos and Flametree YouTube videos don’t yet go to that part of the story, but they will.
What I mean is that your actions have an effect. For example, when travel, you have a carbon footprint. That obviously now has important impacts for all of humanity.
In addition, of course, how you choose to manage COVID19 in your own life and space, has impacts for the broader community.
Ways of living for a better headspace Darwin
All of the ancient yogic ways of living include “codes” like honesty, nonviolence, and more.
They’re also about how to live in a better way, in a headspace where you’re more responsible to yourself and others.
In terms of yogic practices, such ancient and modern practices include simple physical practices like learning to breathe yourself though upsets.
Flametree is teaching these processes and approaches to new generations.
In my own life, I use things like breathing practices almost every day. You never get beyond such practices. You just learn to implement them more automatically.
Living in a balanced headspace
A key objective of your own yoga and yogic practices is to be more detached and dispassionate. In the process, your mind can and will become more even and balanced.
In addition, work to take a look at the effect of your individual actions on others.
Many are trying to find ways to be a better individual, and be more caring, and less judgmental. But less are looking further at how your actions impact others.
In the process, remember to not make yourself “wrong”, or make others wrong.
We’re all just trying to be on a path to a better self, and a better world. We, and others, won’t always get it “right”, whatever that is.
As I’ve said, yoga includes looking at what sits under the surface.
Although we can’t go into it now, this is also a place where compassion comes up. You need compassion for yourself in order to be able to feel it for other people.
In summary, with regular yoga, including what I call mindful yoga, you’ll be moving along a path towards the more positive world and headspace that I’m describing.
It will take you in tiny steps, at a pace that works for you.

Physical yoga practice for a better Darwin headspace
So my view is that the physical practice of yoga can open up many new headspaces for you.
In turn, I also think that physical practice, along with mental inquiry, work well together. They work better than just mental inquiry alone.
There is a role for mental work, and intellectual learning. But it works better, is more powerful, and is better retained, if it’s integrated with physical yoga practice.
There’s also some things you can only see via a doing a physical process.
Sometimes, as you know, you don’t even have the mental focus to just engage in just intellectual learning.
As you may also know, the huge benefits you get from yoga, will also only flow to you from doing quality yoga.
That’s because if you’re not in a yoga posture, then you can’t actually get the benefits that the pose offer.
For example, yoga works a lot through your glands. In the process, the posture puts you in a shape that generates secretions from a gland.
But if you’re not correctly in the yoga pose, or a suitable variation of it, then the gland is not targeted very much, or at all.
