Here’s what it isn’t to me...Ashtanga, as I teach and practice, is not a system caught in time, with outdated rules, it’s not a rigid series of hierarchical poses that intimidate new students, nor is it an inner circle of able-bodied practitioners who compete with each other for a top slot. _ As I teach and practice Ashtanga, it is to me many things, some of which I’ll describe below: _ An invitation to get on the mat as many days as possible, to show up with an open heart and pour your soul into the practice. _ A library of poses that can be made accessible for all, and, when taught and practiced with intelligence, can lead the body to healing. _ A chance to tap into the magic of breath, body and soul, as a window, or maybe also a bridge to the eternal world of the spirit, to let movement be prayer, worship and communion. _ A lifelong journey, with twists and turns, with lessons and wisdom, but one that leads deeper down a path of peace, clarity and kindness. _ Intimacy, connection, reverence, commitment, ecstasy, transformation, happiness, hope. _ What is the practice to you? _ It has been SO inspiring to see so many different students from all over the world at all levels join #ashtangahomepracticechallenge with me @wellness_yogini on @omstarsofficial You are the life and light of this method of yoga and I am grateful to you. What I’ve loved is seeing how one person may do a modified, prop-assisted version of an asana followed by an advanced option. I value each expression equally. It sometimes feels like we have an either/or mentality, either we modify and make things accessible or we show extreme physical proficiency. But I don’t believe these are mutually exclusive. We are all just students doing the work. There is no competition or judgement, it’s just about finding the space to work for yourself and make this practice your own. _ You can still join 5,000 yogis in #ashtangachallenge (link is in my bio). Come practice with me in Europe this Fall. Full schedule on my website. My next Mysore retreat in Miami is in October @miamilifecenter Scholarship spots available for all my workshops and retreats. 🙏」9月10日 21時41分
