Today I am so looking forward to taking to my mat and being guided by a lovely Ashtanga teacher here in the UK.
Every time I fly to the UK I indulge in as many sessions as I can, to absorb and indulge myself, to flow and explore my body in the 90 minute offering.
My mat practice is MY time to be quiet, learn to listen to my body get hooked on my breath and flow and explore the challenges and the freedom throughout my practice and what is so beautiful for me is when you find a teacher that you really resonate with. It is the feeling of surrender I get as soon as I am asked to close my eyes at the beginning of each practice.
I feel a huge sense of wonder at the beginning of my practice and always welcome any feelings or thoughts. If a flow or asana becomes challenging and I feel resistance in my mind or body this is my OWN lesson to myself.
I soften and explore, never force, maybe hang there for a bit, to see and feel.
All the juicy experiences I indulge in on the mat is the path I walk and learn from in my every day life. And this for me is more challenging then my Mat Practice.
This is my Yoga every minute, everyday every situation, every person I meet, being a wife a mother, friend, employer.
It is my way and at the end of every practice, I Thank myself for this wonderful me time that keeps
me keep growing as a person, to enjoy this beautiful gift of life and everyone in my life.
This Is what Yoga has taught me so far and I LOVE being its STUDENT
Namaste. Jo xo
