As sometimes is in a somewhat unruly way I took a moment to just breathe a moment up in an inverted balance afterwards. And then decided to just continue to kurmasana. Not the traditional vinyasa count, but felt right for today. In a pool of peace and quiet, I’m slow time of meditation in motion.

Ashtanga yoga
It’s an individual journey to one’s Self, and one should not compare one to another, it’s a privilege to have a shared experience of the daily practice with the ups and downs of real life. Even if Dan and I don’t always practice at the same time or side by side, the practice of yoga has never been a question. It is a commitment and a shared space of discovery, research and evolution. By now we share some 50+ years of practice between us. And it’s only getting better.

of can be and has been my space to process through emotions and patterns, big and small over the last 26 years and counting. One day I show up full of joy and energy, another I may be just a puddle of tears full of frustration a being human that is - The time spent on my mat is to connect with the steady essence of being; a simple, strong and yet delicate flame. The practice doesn’t take the emotions and the turbulence of life away, but it does allow courage to stay with them, the clear sightedness to act upon and the skill to let go when it’s time.
Asana is just a tool, but it’s a good tool for observing these cycles of action, reaction, stillness and impulse. All in balance.

The practice of yoga is so much more than just asana. Today, for the full moon, take rest from asana and take a look at the other aspects of the practice.
Besides, recovery is an equally important part of practice. Take care of yourself and your practice. Small things and rhythms matter.

Saturday morning primary series of Ashtanga yoga never seems to get old. It’s the foundation and most of the building blocks for the so called intermediate and advanced asanas. I practice primary series at the end of my practice week and it works as a very meditative recovery practice. However, that is not to say the sequence is easy or immediately accessible without practice.
When teaching the new practitioners, it’s important not to underestimate the potential of the one learning but at the same time allow enough modification to make the practice accessible and motivating.
One breath at a time all transformation is possible, body and mind.

Rather than plain flexibility- think of an overcooked noodle - I like to think of mobility: articulation, subtle deepening of movement supported by strength and control. To me this translates as freedom and sustainable practice, as well as usable movement in everyday life. Bend don’t break, they say; and I agree. The larger the range of movement, the stronger the support needs to be to prevent injury.
