Yoga of Stillness
Presenting Yoga, I have developed a deep appreciation for the wisdom of the body and the power of the stillness that is within us all.
Some like myself, instantly fall in love with the Yoga of Stillness, feeling they have finally ‘come home’. Having the opportunity to simply feel steady in your body, and move gently is a freedom and joy that many have not experienced since early childhood. For others it is not ‘love at first sight’, but there is something in the honesty of what the body experiences and the potential to re-connect with a deeper aspect of yourself in life that brings people back.
Yoga of Stillness is a modality that restores a natural and harmonious way of living. Each session offers a unique marker or experience of stillness and movement that can guide you to gradually undo the rush, stress and outward focus of life that has become the norm for so many of us. The sessions bring awareness to our movements and thoughts that either create more tension or ease and freedom within the body and being.
There is actually nothing new or unfamiliar about the Yoga of Stillness. Gently moving the legs or closing the eyes in a seated position or laying down to breathe and be with the body are completely natural for us. Tension melts away, the breath slows and settles into its natural rhythm and the mind becomes quiet and clear. You are no longer defined or driven by everything you have taken on in life. Instead you are simply left in the space and stillness that is your true self.
