Yoga with Rebecca

Faith in yoga śraddhā is sometimes the thing I need reminding of the most 🙏🏻
Any practice especially a spiritual one has to be believed in for it to be effective. The mind is a potent mediator in how we receive the healing that is being given from any given practice.

Today I was at a bit of a loss with a private client. They are unwell and emotionally are struggling too. In this kind of circumstance pretty much every form of āsana based practice is completely inappropriate. But what we have in the viniyoga toolbox are other powerful methods to bring about a little balance.

For the first time today I "treated" a client with vedic chanting. Most of my students and clients have heard me chant. Some of them know I'm a year and a half into Vedic chanting teacher training. I know how it affects me and it's healing properties are indisputable.

My client today got some rest and relaxation, a break from anxiety and restless legs as I chanted to them. For healing to occur we need rest and space for that to happen.

Thank you to my teacher Sheela Shankar and all my previous teachers in the Viniyoga tradition.

And for those of you interested, I would like to find a student who's interested in chanting for private lessons.

Dear Yogini Marilyn, power and vulnerability of the wild feminine that man had no idea what to do with. It finally destroyed her bodily existence. I visited her grave in LA to pay respects.

In fear of death man attempts to create eternity and glory for himself through religious institution, property, r**e of Mother Earth and control of women. He does not come to peace with bodily existence or participate peacefully in the mystery power of the body or its passing. He therefore does not surrender to the Earth and the great powers of the Earth, the sublime regenerative force that is 100% given and constant.

He controls only through the delusion of knowledge, never learning to receive or support the wild feminine. She is the natural state, enjoyed through the great nurturing polarity of male female cooperation / collaboration within and without and this is everyone’s birthright. This is the primordial religious practice before man invented doctrine that dissociated him from the feminine. Man has not yet been taught to access this power of his own Reality. Instead he is afraid, has vilified s*x and struggles to control it and “get it”. When all along it is freely given.

Marilyn learned yoga from the great Indra Devi, first Western student of Krishnamacharya. Dear Marilyn long may you live and thrive on Mother Earth.

"You need power, only when you want to do something harmful; otherwise, love is enough to get everything done."

I've been rather lapse in my postings of late. Apologies for my busy lifestyle and inattention.
This year has got off to a lovely start as in addition to my regular classes I've jad the opportunity to do 2 talks and sessions for the WI.
January in North Kelsey
February here in Binbrook

I'm passionate about yoga for health and wellbeing. And it is the simplicity of viniyoga practice with coordinated breath and movement that really benefits participants.
The feedback from the WI ladies was that they were more relaxed and felt so much better after a short seated practice, learning the ujjayi breathing technique, and resting with a breath focus meditation.
I'm honoured to be able to present these teachings and bowled over to be asked to join the WI Federation National Speakers list.

Whether you'd like a seated class, a wellbeing and yoga class or a personal individualised ther**eutic yoga 1:1 I'd love to hear from you.

Rebecca 🙏🏻

Are you promising yourself some time and space for self care in 2025?

We're fully underway now as February has started with a little sunshine here in Lincolnshire and class is almost up to previous numbers after Christmas and new year breaks.

We've been discussing mental health and how it can often be hidden in society and amongst our friends and colleagues. The interesting thing about slow mindful breathing and yoga practices is that we slowly access the body in a gentle and caring way which allows the mind to be soothed. There is no coercion of pushing or trying to battle with the mind and it's foibles. A peaceful state is almost stumbled upon with the right practice.

As Christmas looms, and the solstice promises a renewal of the light within and around us I'd like to thank my wonderful students who have loyally continued their yoga journey with me.
Today marks the final classes of the year for group classes and I have a couple of 1:1s then I'm having the Christmas break.
People have many reasons for coming to yoga it might be health, social, spiritual, meditation or a mix of them all.
As long as it supports you and your needs you are getting it right.
Many many thanks to you all, without students I'm not a teacher, so I am grateful for what you all help me to learn.

There will be the usual classes and a retreat day or two coming in the new year.

Much love
Yoga with Rebecca
