"Flying by the seat of this Pelvic floor"
Please join Asana practice with me when you can. I can't put into words what a steady and regular asana practice does to ones life, I just can not. What I can do is, invite you over. Experience what it feels like to be together, to breath together and witness the body together as ONE.
Asana is another word for seat or posture. Trough noticing the body and the breath we can learn how to 'em-body' who we truly are. We harmonize action and breath to be more efficient, life present and remember our natural state.
Yoga is a reference to Yog, to unite and or connect. The body can serve as a means to unfold into our natural state which is always Dhyan : Meditation. We don't need to try to meditate, we are meditation. We quiet down in order to remember we are already ONE. And that we are part of a bigger Whole. Serving benefits All. Working on ourselves benefits All.
I have experience with physical challenges in terms of chronic dis-ease, injury and dis-abilities. I LOVE to nerd out on anatomy. ALL ARE WELCOME!
Group practice... witness me witnessing you, us witnessing together. There is nothing like Be-ing together. All we need to do is, show up, beyond judgement. Know that what ever you may think is up with me, is in you. What you may think is up with the body is, not real. I mean not real in the Vedic sense. What ever is up with the body, is transient, it passes overtime. In fact, we cast the body off soon enough! There where years where this body of mine was unable to practice many postures. I have been grieving about it, and I still sometimes do. What we can do is, work with what we are given. Adapt, Adjust and Accommodate.
Maybe that is what living in Yoga, is all about. You can find the
schedule
Restorative Yoga
The form of yoga shared by me originates from the awareness that we are all already complete and pure; like a Buddha. What happens during most of our lives is that we forget the Buddha body.
When we rest deeply, usually the mind goes in overdrive, brain loops come up and we these ingrained patterns become very obvious. Apart from this, or simultaneously repressed emotions and or insights can surface. These different impressions may be stored in the different sheets of the body called, Koshas.
There are 5 sheets, or Pancha Kosha:
Anna Maya Kosha ~ The Physical plane, nourished and fed by the outer gross elements
Prana Maya Kosha ~ The Pranic plane, Life force sheet
Mano Maya Kosha ~ The Mental plane, thoughts, ideas
Vjiana Maya Kosha ~ The Wisdom plane
Ananda Maya Kosha ~ The Bliss or Buddha Body
During the steady regular practice of stilling the mind and body, we can gain insight into the Pancha Kosha we are. Some benefit from rapid active meditative posture practice, while others are enhanced by resting the body deeply by support of props such as blankets, pillows and blocks.
In my experience there is no right way to practice yoga. However trough trial and error we and explore what works best each moment in time.
