How holding well structured poses (asana) trains our mind-body (citta) for resilience. However in the spirit of BKS Iyengar the true value of yoga works at every level of our being and cannot be fully explained, it has to be experienced.

This is what bending your body into yoga poses does to your brain chemistry and nerve connections.

GURU PURNIMA

“Yoga Is my Guru. Yoga alone taught me Yoga.

Guru is one who is full of knowledge, full of light. Purnima is a full moon day. The Sun throws the light and the Moon receives it. Guru too who is full of knowledge , pours that knowledge for his disciples to receive it. Therefore, this day is called Guru Purnima. It is a very significant full moon day on which to celebrate the Guru-Sisya relationship.

My parampara is traced back to God. This Yoga is presented to us by Patanjali, who is also my Guru. Patanjali says that God is the first, foremost and absolute Guru, unconditioned by time and ever present, who guides us from within. He is also my Guru. This Guru is nearest and dearest to me. He dwells in my heart and speaks to my heart, and I salute him who is within me.

When I look back myself, I feel surprised how the Lord residing within guided me! I never thought that the tree of Yoga would grow like the Banyon tree. I never thought that the hidden knowledge will sprout in such a gigantic manner. I am grateful to my Guru, who sowed the seed of interest in me. The seed survived and grew into a tree giving me a magnanimous fruit.

It was my fate that I had to go to my teacher at Mysore for domestic help. But through fate I was fortunate enough to receive this knowledge. I got converted to Yoga; and the faith in it uplifted me to this level.

In those days I was like a person possessed. I was possessed by Yoga. There was nothing but a single thought ‘Yoga’ in my wakeful, or sleepy or dreamy, or aware or unaware states. I was haunted by Yoga consciously, unconsciously, subconsciously and perhaps even supraconsciously.

Another meaning of Guru is weight or heaviness. It is a weight of knowledge that the Guru puts on you. Guru Purnima Is the day of dedication where the pupil surrenders himself to the Guru. He follows the words and works of the Guru. He works selflessly and gains self-respect.

While practicing or teaching, I am not Iyengar. Something inside kindles me to forget myself and makes me an impersonal entity.

Yoga is the practice and Yoga is the soul. When sadhaka, Sadhna and Sadhya (aim) become one, it is union , it is Yoga. You are Yoga and Yoga is you. Kindle the light of Yoga, so that Yoga enlightens you to become a wise man.

SOLSTICE

“It’s a good time to remember that we, like the sun, contain the power to nurture and sustain, and that we have a responsibility to burn as brightly as we can, to invite fire into our lives fire to burn away all that we have outgrown and all that no longer serves us; fire that makes the wild things grow in us, for which our inner selves have longed" - Mystic Mama

Let's keep burning brightly together and growing wild things. .cutteridge

Holidaying with all the fam = sneaking off to sarvangasana.
E is the queen of the 30min nap when we are rocking/bouncing/feeding for the first 15 it rarely gives me chance to get on my mat when it's just the two of us. So grateful for all the extra pairs of hands!

Ps. Remember no class tonight! See you on the 13th

Put down the pills, roll out the yoga mat.

San Diego veterans were able to reduce debilitating back pain with twice-a-week yoga and -- in the middle of an overdose crisis -- the number on addictive painkillers dropped from 20% to 8%.

New Class Accounment!

Beginner's Iyengar Yoga
Thursdays 7 - 8.15pm
Yoga Café, Chorlton

I am back to teaching with a brand new class at Yoga Café. How lovely is this space?

I adore spending my days with Easter, it is such a privilege and there is nowhere I'd rather be. It also feels really good to get back to teaching, to embody a different role and a share my passion for this practice.

You can expect class to be invigorating, relaxing and surprisingly hard work! We will be learning the standing and seated poses to build stability and mobility, bring awareness to our bodies and intelligence to our movement, and begin the work of quietening and focusing the mind.

If you are ready to get moving I'd love to see you there! DM for more information or to join us.
