“This is the entire essence of life: Who are you? What are you?” — Leo Tolstoy ... Deep gratitude for this method of yoga practice, respectfully named for Yogacarya B.K.S. Iyengar, as it gives tools to counter the problems of life, to grow awareness and insight into the nature of being embodied. Guruji called the path of yoga the inward journey. There is more than one way to develop wisdom of knowing one’s self: deep practice of art takes one towards the core. To reach and help others with yoga, first one learns to help oneself by understanding the self through all the layers of being. This means addressing the personal characteristics and imbalances and obstacles in the physical, energetic, emotional and mental, intellectual aspects of being to finally reach and rest in the undifferentiated core of being, the universal, the soul. . “I have come to accept life as a process, and am satisfied that in my ever-going process, I am constantly discovering, expanding, finding the cause of my ignorance, in .art and especially in life. In short, to be real… Surely we all admit that we are intelligent beings, though in reality we are being crammed with ready-made facts handed down to us ever since [childhood]. Some of us even went through college but something is the matter because … some of these facts are examined in the form of self-inquiry, but in most cases we accept most of these facts unexamined... We possess a pair of eyes to help us to observe as well as to discover, yet most of us simply do not see in the true sense of the word. However, when it comes to observing faults in others, most of us are are quick to react with condemnation. But what about looking inwardly for a change? To personally examine who we really are and what we are, our merits as well as our faults — in short, to see oneself as [one] is for once and to take responsibility [for] oneself. I am happy because I am daily growing and honestly not knowing where the limit will yet lie. To be certain, every day can be a revelation or a new discovery. However, the most satisfaction is yet to come to hear another human being say, “Hey, here is something real.” —Bruce Lee, “In My Own Process”.. Kūrmāsana

Are you doing yesterday’s practice? If so, you are interfering with the new knowledge your awareness is giving you today. According to Yoga Sutra 1.43, through yoga practice, memory is cleansed and shines without reflection. We then become more sensitive to our memory vibrations and can separate out the original experience of asana. Asana serves to decrease the frequency of distractions, creating mental self-awareness so we may achieve complete freedom. @lois_steinberg certainly guided us through asana and pranayama to achieve a greater mental clarity, with insight, and a pureness of being today! — #yoga #iyengar #yogalove #yogalife #iloveyoga #iyengaryoga #bksiyengar #iyengaryogamethod #yogaeveryday #yogateacher #yogastudent #hathayoga #alignment #yogainspiration #yogaprops #yogapractice #sirsasana #yogasutras

The neck is the main focus of this weeks advanced class on Yoga Selection. These animated images are a companion to the class. They break down some of the specific ways in which props are used in the video. They also clarify methods for getting into position and creating alignment that will maximise benefits. Some of poses in this video help to open your shoulders and improve upper back mobility. Tightness and soreness in these areas can often negatively impact your neck, or even lead towards tension related headaches. Other poses will help you to support your neck in positions where it might otherwise be vulnerable to collapse and compression. This will be particularly beneficial if you are practicing with a stiff or sore neck. Supported poses that help your neck to release and relax are also included in the class. Weekly Advanced Class 127 will be released this coming weekend. Head to the website for more details.

A wire roll makes a perfect roll to back bend over. Here is one way to utilize the roll. Erick takes #viparitadandasana with a #setubandha bench between the wall and his elbows. He used the plate weight at his feet to straighten his legs and increase the back extension as #bksiyengar in #chatarunga looms overhead #iyengar #iyengaryoga #svadhyaya #backbend #dwipadaviparitadandasana #dwipada #homepractice #workin #godeep

I'm slowly working on toning the abdominal and lumbar regions. Here's asanas I've been working on. Some of you have seen this in class and in the heat last week, this is what we abandoned . However I'm still working on this "throwing the hips" that Raya showed in Pune in Feb 2018, and feel it's helping with not overworking the legs and lower back in the inversions. But you've got to be super strong in the arms, shoulders and neck. You'll see in my notes I say "try not to come into handstand" as it's not my point to be in the final pose. The point is to understand where you're working from to get there. There's a fair few poses on here that are not suitable if menstruating or pregnant. #yogadrawings #yogapracticeathome #iyengaryoga #bksiyengar #yoga #yogainspirations #manchesteryoga #manchesteriyengaryoga

I was fortunate to spend a day learning from Maty. The Yoga world has lost one of its brightest. So many of us are here because of Maty Ezraty. ‍♀️ Posted @withrepost • @boofayoga I love this quote from Maty Ezraty on trikonasana and being an "advanced student". The whole interview has so many gems, Maty is awesome. Full video on @purplevalleyyoga 's YouTube channel. Lots of really great interviews with some great yogis/teachers there . #yoga #trikonasana #matyezraty #purplevalleyyoga #yogaeverywhere #yogateacher #yogaworks #iyengar #iyengaryoga #bksiyengar #geetaiyengar #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #goa #pune

❤️”You are only one yoga class away from a good mood.” #Anon . The more I practice and share #Yoga and #Meditation the more I see clearly that they offer precious tools that are like an antidote for our modern world. That these #simpletools work for anyone regardless of age, stage, flexibility, background or circumstances. Anyone that has the courage and willpower to carve out space in their life to do the practices. To show up for themselves. . The great news is that the world is full of yoga and meditation teachers. Hawke’s Bay alone has 63 yoga teacher members in a closed Facebook group... and that’s not counting #mindfulness and meditation teachers and the ones not on Facebook. The internet also has endless options. . If you want to come try out my offerings here are the public classes I have this week in Havelock North- Monday 5:30pm YinYang @ The Works Wednesday 6pm Yoga Nidra @ Focus Health Thursday 8:30am Energy Yoga @ Focus Health . I also have free #YogaNidra on #YouTube and offer one on one #EnergyHealing Sessions in person or on Skype and Workplace Mindfulness training so PM me if you’d like more details about these offerings. . #BKSIyengar said ”Yoga does not transform the way we see things. It transfers the person who sees.” How do you see? Is the cookie jar half full or half empty? . Love Kate xxx @mummasoulfood . Ps- you are beautiful ❤️
