As I watch these videos from the weekend of workshops, in my person-flu-bed-ridden state, my heart smiles. ⁣ ⁣ It was wonderful to reconnect with the students who I feel I grew so much with, witnessing openness to the challenging concepts I offered and watching their practices flourish as a result. ⁣ ⁣ @lanoyoga yogis...you will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for choosing to spend your time, energy and money with me, but also for being willing to step outside the yoga box. You created magic. Thank you. ⁣ ⁣ An enormous thank you to @phoebephilippa for carrying on my vision and turning it into her own. And to @tulaparker.yoga and @gracie.ellert thank you for holding space so attentively with your super powers. ⁣ ⁣ Control, traction, force....go crazy kids...

// #TeachingIndividualBodies //⁣ ⁣ For the last couple of years I have been exploring how to teach individual bodies in a group class situation. ⁣ ⁣ If we accept that all bodies are unique, and that there are no definitive, universal alignment principles, then it can seem an impossible task to teach group classes in an effective way.⁣ ⁣ I’ve tried it all - from no alignment principles to individual alignment cues. But in large classes the latter is impossible and not effective.⁣ ⁣ I’m trying a different approach…I understand now that it is my job to help my students connect more to their own bodies. To listen, to understand the huge spectrum of sensations the body offers and respond to them.⁣ ⁣ I now like to create a space where a yoga class offers questions, the poses, and the individual practitioner can feel comfortable and confident to explore the answers through movement, placement and depth.⁣ ⁣ I don’t see my job as telling students what to do, and what to feel (the worst kind…don’t tell me what to feel, that’s for me to experience). I see my job as enabling people to better explore their own bodies, to better inhabit the body they live in and through.⁣ ⁣ 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞…⁣ ⁣ Tue:⁣ 06:30 - Bikram ⁣ @hotyogahellerup ⁣ ⁣ Wed:⁣ 19:00 - Slow⁣ 20:15 - Flow⁣ @streetyogadk ⁣ Thu:⁣ 18:30 - Vinyasa (Forrest Inspired)⁣ @yum_yoga_cafe ⁣ ⁣ Fri:⁣ 08:15 - Vinyasa (Forrest Inspired)⁣ 09:45 - Slow⁣ @yum_yoga_cafe 16:30 - Bikram Workshop @hotyogacph #hotyogafestival ⁣ Sat & Sun⁣ ‘What’s Force Got to Do With It?’ Workshop (SOLD OUT)⁣ @lanoyoga

// #Conversations //⁣ ⁣ I cycle past this statue on route to one of the studios I teach at. It’s one of my favourite statues.⁣ ⁣ It’s called ‘Two Young People.’ Two people, sat opposite to each other, having what looks like a difficult conversation. ⁣ ⁣ I like this, not because it reminds me of all the conversations I should of had, or the conversations I need to make time for. I like this statue because it reminds me that there are conversations I should be having with myself. ⁣ ⁣ The kind of conversations that require closeness, brutal honesty and a recognition of the dark and the light. A conversation with Karl, to Karl, about Karl. We all need to have more of those...⁣ ⁣ Speaking of conversations...myself and @lanoyoga were thinking about holding a New Year retreat in Cornwall again in January. I know it’s late in the game, but if you are interested please email info@lanoyoga to state your interest. Needs to be quick, we need to make a decision in the next few days.
