This year marks 23 years of yoga practice. My practice has been through various stages in that time. Likewise, my teaching has naturally changed too.
Though I only teach what I practice, I don’t teach everything I practice. Let me explain.
At one time, the more dynamic my physical practice was the better. Hot yoga, Ashtanga, Jivamukti and so on. But that’s okay. I feel this was what I needed then. I also went through a phase of chasing poses. I remember the sense of achievement when gliding into bird of paradise and the feelings of pride at being praised for ‘nailing’ headstand and getting into deeper and deeper backbends. (Little did I know then that this was exacerbating a spinal condition I was yet to discover.)
Nowadays my practice is far less asanabased. A number of poses have fallen away. Now, my practice is more about how I move through the day, how I act and react (and how I don’t).
