Emerging

Spring is starting to Spring!

An overview of what has been part of the block of classes: our visualisation has been body and breath focussed. Visualisation is a prompt that we use into our practice together when we notice and accept the inevitability of the mind trying to take you elsewhere out of the present. This particular visual links to your heart centre (hrdayam) a place that is considered to be your consciousness, the part of you that watches over what you experience.

In reference to yoga philosophy, we have linked one of the niyamas from the eight limbs of yoga:

"Santosha" - Contentment

The verse I read that created the foundations for this theme is here from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali II.42:

“From contentment, the highest happiness is attained.”

Contentment in where you are right now, whether that is a feeling of calm, chaos, lethargy, excitedness.. being present and not focussing on what you don’t have. If we desire for something else, we are taking away from being in the now, right here.

As we look around us, Spring is showing us the gradual process. There is an emerging, signs of hope - Spring isn’t rushing to summer! A practice to be content in the process of your own personal season, however that looks for you right now; embracing all of the parts of the process.

Physically in class we have started slowly to emerge into more seated, kneeling and standing postures to match the energy of what’s happening around us. Lots of opening, unfurling, spacious movements and shapes in our bodies.

You can join me for weekly in-person classes in Comberbach and Northwich , and also from your home with my Gentle Mat & Chair live online classes.
