Growth - Living Yoga
The journey continues as I unpack and unfold…
The Essence of Yoga has been a faithful companion in this life and I’m convinced it has been in my energy field long before this lifetime. My Yoga journey unfolds in most of the posts on my social media grid, usually as personal blogs. Yoga is the reason why I started my page on the gram so late in the digital world. It is not a typical Yoga page with asana poses or video flows or tips on alignment and pranayama techniques. I don’t have the consistency for that - and there are some wonderful teachers who do that brilliantly. It doesn’t feel right for me personally.
As I have been evolving, maturing, growing and embodying Yoga over the years, I’ve discovered that it is so much MORE than just showing up to do asana on my mat. The shapes I make on my mat, the way I move in meditation, pulsing with the breath of life, meeting myself where I am in that moment alters my somatic experience. It teaches me how to show up for myself, for others and how to navigate dissonance. Everything starts with ‘Know Thyself’ then it’s from this place, everything else can grow, ebbing and flowing like the river current, fluidity in motion.
This gifts me with the tools of how to LIVE YOGA, not just to do it but to be it, to feel it, and to live it everyday. In this journey of discovering myself, I’ve realised that I am so much more than Yoga. Yoga is my passion, it is a part of my life. It is from Living Yoga that I’ve died a thousand deaths, birthed a thousand lives. I’ve had several realisations and grown so that I can live the best version of my life. Guess what? I get it wrong regularly, I fall down and hurt myself. After licking my wounds, I get back up. This is my strength. Maybe this resonates.
Most profoundly, I’ve birthed Nada Yoga, the Yoga of Sound by weaving sound vibration through my Alchemy Sound Bowls. They are a vessel enabling me to express my creativity, my essence. I’ve been taking baby steps these last few months, I’ve been meandering and slowly slowly this journey births.
