UJJAYI YOGA - The yoga of breath
Use your breath to dive deeper into ever more subtle layers of awareness and sensitivity.. As yoga is the journey from the external toward the internal, from the gross to the subtle.. Follow the softness of your breath from your nostrils into your throat, then map your lungs.. then try to feel your diaphragm.. from there your pelvic floor and so on.. using the intelligence of your breath to wake up your cellular intelligence.. ✨😉🙏

VINYASA KRAMA..
As intelligent movement, addresses the needs of your body by getting you to move from the wisdom of the breath.. All too often ashtangis sacrifice their connection to the breath to achieve the asanas.. I invite you to see your practice as a marathon, can you manage your breath to keep your rhythm steady and smooth from beginning to end.. you could even use a metronome to anchor yourself in the steady tempo of your breath and let the rhythm carry you through the practice..

POINTS OF YOU!
We could say there are 4 parts
to this being human: Body - Heart - Mind - Spirit..
Therefore your yoga practice should address and cultivate light in these 4 dimensions..

Yoga is more about stretching the mind than the body . We use the body to stretch the mind. That means gradually smoothing out your sharp edges, softening your hard core beliefs, befriending the silence behind your breath and finding the spaciousness between thoughts..

Yoga is not a destination but a way of life
Not a goal to attain in some future
but about being here now
and meeting whatever is arising in the present moment with a sense of spaciousness ✨

Yoga is not so much about WHAT we do but HOW we do it.. Embodied and whole versus disconnected and fragmented.. With conscious awareness or unconscious conditionings.. Mechanical or intentional..

The YAMA’s, or personal Do’s and basis of kriya yoga..The empowering invitation is to see them as 5 yogas to practice instead of just merely knowing what they are.. Practice no-complaining (cleaning up the mind..), contentment, discipline or self-inquiry and establishing a relationship w a higher power.. Om Namah Shivaya!
