Our practice should consider sensation to be primary, and shape to be secondary, which is often not the case. If this criteria is met, we physically demand less from the body, and give more back to it. Greatly improving how well we feel.

It’s important we adapt our practice to suit our ever changing environment, allowing us to continue to feel as comfortable as possible. 

Modern life constantly bombards us with relentless stimuli, and digital connectivity, drawing us outwards, often resulting in the neglecting of our inner life. Yoga turns us towards the fullness and richness of where our life really is. 

A Yoga experience, is a consequence, not a prescription. Modern Yoga often focuses on prescribing a standardised shape, rather than setting clear intentions, and inviting the practitioner in to their own personal experience, where everything falls in to place.

When we are faced with the busyness of life, we can easily get side tracked, which can eventually lead to illness, or feeling overwhelmed. Yoga is a vehicle to explore and maintain wellness.

We have an innate, authentic intelligence, specifically our sensory field, that keeps us safe, and informed of our inner and outer lives. Through our pratice, we have the opportunity of refining this sensory language.

Cultivating ‘Sthira Sukham Asanam’ or steadiness and ease, has long been elusive within the Hatha Yoga tradition. However, if we understand the building blocks, these qualities are relatively simple to reveal.

Contrary to popular belief, the odds aren't necessarily stacked against us, as we age, and our ability to remain healthy and mobile can often be a lifestyle choice. 

I'm all for experiences that promote well-being and a positive outlook, but a well rounded practice should also consider our full range of emotions, and our abilty to turn towards them, with an open curiosity.
