Yogasana with Nat

I thought this little quote from Buddha was quite sweet and felt called to share it.

I can totally relate to this. At 16, leaving home and stepping into the fashion world — which is incredibly competitive — I struggled for many years within that industry. Then I discovered yoga, and I learned (and am still slowly learning) to surrender, surrender, surrender…

I’d say social media and society can feel very similar at times, and I think this message really puts everything into perspective and reminds us that we don’t have to keep pushing or proving ourselves. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is simply let go, trust the process, and come back to ourselves.

Some people think that doing yoga and being a yogi simply means being able to stand on your head or on your hands.

I’m really sorry to disappoint you, but standing on your head or hands does not make you a yogi!

There’s nothing personal in this message — I’m simply sharing my own experiences and knowledge from practising yoga for over 20 years with several amazing gurus around the world.

As my teachers used to say: “10% yoga is on the mat, 90% is off the mat.”

What does this mean?

On the mat, you practise pranayama, asana, and meditation.
Off the mat, you practise many other things — such as being kind towards everyone, including strangers, being compassionate towards every living being, and hopefully practising ahimsa (non-violence).

A true yogi strives to be non-judgemental towards themselves and others, to live without expectations, and to avoid greed, jealousy, or envy. A yogi wishes others well, wants to give back, and chooses kindness over gossip — and the list goes on…

Choosing a spiritual path and truly living as a yogi is not an easy route, and it’s not for everyone. But if you’ve decided to walk this path, do it with dignity and grace.

Getting the idea out of people’s heads that Yoga is an ancient exercise is a big task by itself. But if we don’t do this, true Yoga will not happen. When you do Surya Namaskar for example, do not focus on your muscles but on becoming in sync with the source of all energy in this solar system.
How long does it take to become a yogi? It can be a moment, it can be a millennium, or it can be never. You might as well ask how long it takes to fall in love with someone, or how long it takes to become a devotee.
You can set a time only for physical aspects, not the subtler aspects of life.

I was sort of lucky to have one on one lessons thought sometimes I missed the energy of other yogis! Thank you for bringing me back it’s much harder then vinyasa but I think i like the hard way, discipline way.

I have new slots available for Yoga lovers and people who would like to try Yoga for the first time and I can teach 1-on-1 classes, couples, or even a few friends - whichever your prefer.

The Yoga I teach is Vinyasa/Ashtanga flow, moving through poses (‘Asanas’) with Udjai breathing, which helps to open up and expand your body, whilst leaving you feeling relaxed, but strong.

So whether you are an absolute beginner looking for a gently introduction to Yoga, or more experienced and seeking a dynamic class, please do get in touch.
