We try to use textural words when talking about pain. Mum arrived for a morning coffee with a “sharpness” in her lumber region.
This is still considered practice. Mostly to soften the mind. Her body is fully supported and held to relax the muscles in the lumber and stomach.

Study mode activated. Every 2 months we head to Woodgate Beach Yoga for Teacher Development. So glad that Shawn is an academic. Her study method is meticulous and then we talk about it and that’s how I learn the content. BLESSED!

Sirsasana Woodgate Beach Yoga

Concentration in action. This pose has many physical benefits, but what is most important to understand is the meditative affects of the practice. The mind has to surrender all thoughts worries and imaginations... it learns to rest into the silence.

And a note about this Sunday... no class sorry folks. I am a member of an assessment panel for Iyengar Yoga Australia and will be in Sydney. See you all 20 October

At The Hervey Bay School of Yoga we are encouraged by Level 3 Senior Australian Iyengar teacher Polly Realf to keep a diary of our class sequences. This diary includes detailed notes on our experiences of specific actions, as well as broader reflections, much like a traditional personal journal.
In an entry dated Friday, 25 September 2020, I wrote: “Very emotional when thinking about how thankful I am to have this yoga school in my life.” Other notes on the same page include precise observations such as “Lengthen from the elbows to the shoulders” and “Rolled blanket between the legs and belt around the calves and thighs.”
These reflections document not only the physical instructions but also the embodied experience that arises from them. It is this accumulated experience—rooted in attentive practice, use of props, and clarity of action—that informs my teaching of her students while she is in India. The effort invested in planning a lesson within the Iyengar tradition is therefore not solely physical; it must also be experiential, reflective, and deeply informed by practice.
