Hello, my name is Paulette Egan and I am the founder of SportsYoga and Co-founder of I-SPY Clothing. I have been teaching Yoga for almost twenty years to all different levels. I keep my classes simple and are suitable from beginners right up to elite athletes.
I feel that interest in Yoga is at an all-time high at the moment and people of all ages are beginning to recognize the physical benefits of yoga. Over my years of teaching, I have met so many wonderful and inspiring people. I create precise training programs for elite athletes. These programs include daily routines as well as breath work to keep them focused and calm. While working with one particular athlete, Joseph Mooney a high performance swimmer that the idea for Be Motionless came about.
Learning to Be Motionless is a life changing practice and once we learn to quieten our body, our minds will follow and become still and this is the cue to starting afresh.
Joseph was in college and was finding it difficult to manage academia and sport. When I started Joseph on an elite yoga training program, he noticed that he was able to keep that happy work/life/sport balance much easier. Every person needs to learn to relax a little more and let life settle around them.
The Be Motionless Program includes
low impact exercises with gradual transitioning into various positions. By doing this we challenge our muscles to support the weight of our body. Therefore, our bodies will become stronger. When we improve the flexibility in our bodies, our lives become more manageable therefore creating a better work/life balance.
Breathing has shown to lower your resting heart rate and normalise blood pressure.
Regular practice, of movement and breathing, allows the release of blockages and stagnant energy in your body. This promotes the natural release of dopamine which improves your mood!!
Our Be Motionless program is a unique other body/mind experience.
Be Motionless includes all aspects of yoga, from: breathing work; meditation; movement; self-centring; goal setting and much more to get us back on track. The Be Motionless Program is the stepping stone to self-fulfilment. So, jump off the treadmill of stress, while there is still time, and change your life for good.
To Be Motionless is to be happy in your environment. It is perfectly fine to be busy. However, what is desired is, when one is busy on the outside they can remain calm and happy on the inside.
Show up daily, be aware and put the wheels of “Be Motionless” in action today.
