DO YOU ~ of course you don’t have to listen to what I think. But I gotta tell you. Pleasure in your bod, in your life, in your self is possible. It takes effort. It takes opening space. It also means that you have to STOP the abuse of yourself that you inflict on yourself. And it probably means you have to unhook some of the messages you have heard and internalised, the beliefs and projections others put on you. But it is a great way to do that. Feel your own embodiment. Take time to feel your skin, your temperature, your outsides. Drink a warm (or cold) drink and feel it travel into your insides. Take pleasure in something that you can, right now, only because you enjoy it. It could be a breath. And enjoy it. Savour it. Feel it.

Ps. I need a haircut and I look very tired a little yellow 🤔

MOVEMENT MEDICINE ~ you don’t have to change you

MOVEMENT MEDICINE ~ you don’t have to change yourself, fix your shape, exercise. You don’t have to have a flatter tummy, or be able to master handstands to be good enough. You can move for joy. You can train for strength because strength feels good in your body. You can practice yoga for 3 minutes and delight in the dance of your cells. You can run like a child, because running feels good to you. Or maybe it doesn’t. Maybe not today. You can be imperfect, messy, tired, need a haircut and come to your (metaphorical) mat and take pleasure in your body. You can do handstands postpartum if that feels good today ( @calliyoga !!!). You can rest if you need to. This is YOUR body. Your life. You can work for justice, and enjoy your body. In fact, it would be better if you did.
.
.
.
You can use your practice to love yourself, wholly and fully.

EXPLORATION ~ today’s class was about diagonals,

EXPLORATION ~ today’s class was about diagonals, rolling, twisting and creating move and space in unusual places. No hamstring stretches or forward folds. Lots of rib mobilisation and sequential flows.
.
.
.
Why? Firstly, because the body is endlessly fascinating. Secondly because it is easy not to move where it is difficult to love. I know that sounds like I’m just repeating myself. But if your body has not created mobility in a certain place than it won’t just move. You have to wake up the movement in that place to facilitate it joining the movement party. And that takes concentration and curiosity.
.
.
.
And thirdly, because every movement of every yoga technique is someone’s embodiment. It might be well developed thoughtful and deeply researched embodiment. It could be six or more generations of that whisper/telephone game away from that original embodiment. It could be someone who has a “natural” capacity for movement who decides to explain it in the best way they can. It could be a teenaged boys embodiment. Whose body are you stepping into when you practice a yoga technique? And would it be possible to step into your own?
.
.
.
Of course, I know that in my classes I share my embodiment, today. My understanding of movement after 41 years of life and 37 years of movement training and untraining. So I’m not asking you to totally replicate my movements. I’m inviting you to play with how your body interprets different phrases and ideas, and how GOOD it can feel to be in your own body.

INDIRECT ~ when I first encountered yoga, the only

INDIRECT ~ when I first encountered yoga, the only way it was taught to transition between poses was something like “inhale, look up, exhale hands on hips, inhale come up, exhale jump your feet together”. Each movement absolutely direct and linear. First of all, my hamstrings cannot hope with that transition over and over. No way, no how. But secondly, it means it’s robotic, mechanical, and doesn’t even help the body to get the best out of the poses (warrior 1 directly into warrior 2 is a perfect example of a not helpful direct transition).
.
.
.
In our last #yogateachertraining, we spent a long time discussing indirect transitions. What they are, how you can make them, how they can help your body. I encourage you to try this: pick 2 poses that may or may not fit together (Warrior 1&2 would be a start). Then add something to the transition: a shift to one leg, a circle of the arm, a handstand whatever... see what happens. Then try a different transition, a roll to the floor, a change of direction, a pirouette (@yogawithzofia 😉). What other parts of your body and brain get challenged?
.
.
.
Tomorrow’s yoga choreography class is all about indirect transitions and moving through yoga in un-usual ways. Thursdays 10am BST
.
.

I’d love to see some of your indirect transitions G&P team: @miarclausen @jeff.suter @berlinandyoga @mialacostena @imo9en @thisisnatalieowen @annesoyoga @tracykbarber @kay.clinton ... I’m sorry I don’t have all your handles!!!

NEW CLASS ~ starting on Thursday, I am offering a

NEW CLASS ~ starting on Thursday, I am offering a new class, based on playful phrasing of yoga with some influences from dance, creative movement, strength training, maybe even some gymnastics. It is geared towards people who want to try movements that require flexibility and strength, and may take some time to master. Of course, I never require anyone to do anything that is damaging to their bodies. This class is about brain and body exploration, rather than technique, so please be mindful of how your body engages. And that said, let’s play!
.
.
Here is some R&D for this Thursday’s class.

INSPIRATION ~ these words landed in me so deeply,

INSPIRATION ~ these words landed in me so deeply, probably because I could have said them. My process has been so much about relearning to feel and engage with my bones, sinews, muscles and more recently organs to create, practice and heal. To get down. To get real. In this body, in its messy animalness, humanness and divine perfection. On the earth. In my bones.
