My personal yoga journey, now in its eigth year, has taken an unexpected turn. Following four years of introspection and inner attention through the Scaravelli method I find myself yearning for a more expressive and expansive experience of asana. I want to enjoy movement and form again.
I will be taking some workshops this summer with experienced teachers of vinyasa flow: Seane Corne, Shiva Rea are teaching in London this summer and I am excited about tasting the vibes of the sexy, urban hip Jivamukti studio. Synchronistically (all coincidences are meaningful)I have been offered a slew of Energize yoga work and have just bought an iPod, lstening to electronica and compiling yoga beat soundtracks.
In terms of yoga styles, this pretty much represents a complete volte face and it is quite something to acknowledge on a personal level. It feels important to follow this feeling of excitement and intuition, not to judge it or judge yoga.
It is so so easy and obvious to suggest that certain forms are more serious or frivolous than others. The body-mind must be allowed to express itself in which ever way is most appropriate at the time and not held back by the rational mind, which usually takes longer to catch up with the evolutions (revolutions?) initiated by the inner being, the higher self.
Quite literally I have to go with the flow on this one....
