Yoking is yoga is a non-competitive & safe environment for you to explore your body and mind.
I discovered yoga before I knew what 'yoga' was. Like most children do, exploring and experimenting with my body, creating shapes and moving to rhythms, how the extension and retention of the breath in swimming created a sense of meditative awareness. There were headstands in the school field, dancing, spinning like a whirling dervish to recreate the sense of expansive freedom of being stood on a cliff. Many experiential unpretentious moments that are seed like. Having been first taught Vrkasana (tree) outside a barn in Norfolk aged 12, and my first yoga class in a gym 2 years later, I distinctly remember the sense of relief and wonder at how good it felt, what a revelation it was, to do yoga. It was in London post painting degree in Brighton that really signed and sealed my interest in the relationship between the self and other, coming to non-dualism via the meditative experience of having an art practice, which brought me to a more serious involvement into the realms of Yoga asana and philosophy. It turns out I was painting what the medieval yogic literature calls ‘Lingams’.
The science & philosophies that branch off from the ever multitudinous Yoga (meaning 'to yoke' or 'to yield'), not just within the practice of asana but in all relationships, is a daily practice.
Inspired by recent talks by Peter Blackaby, Alistair Shearer and intensive training with Donna Farhi (Wolfson College, Cambridge June 2018), I have completed a 3 year long 500hr training with BWY for the level 4 Diploma qualification, and have held first aid certification and insurance to teach for over 18 months now - where I have taught regular classes until the recent lockdown. As a regular practitioner of yoga since age 18 (15 years ago), I hope (on a novel note) to take the headstand into my 80/90's if my body allows for it! However, yoga is much more than a mere headstand, it is an approach, an attitude. And, always, an ongoing process.. it’s not just a physical practice.
