My Thoughts on Yoga

Working with breath, Asana and meditation, the practice of Yoga gives me an opportunity to access a sense of clarity, serenity, a ‘clear space of awareness’ where, when I am there, I am not troubled by the constant turnings and identifications of my mind, nor the limitations of my body. The resonance of this is felt in my days and even though, our life is full of unpredictable changes, it becomes an inspiration to continue Yoga as a daily practice. On another layer, Yoga takes me beyond my small sense of Self and allows me to experience a reality that is much larger than I habitually perceive. This is what I wish to share with others. 

On this background, I honour Yogic and Buddhist philosophical thoughts and the practices of Pranayama and meditation.

I particularly treasure one of Yoga’s gifts to humanity: its emphasis on the relationship between ourselves and the other, one which includes all beings and nature around us; a remarkable concept drawn from ancient India. Of course, it is a challenge to sustain a fluid stream of tolerance, non-violence, kindness and contentment in our daily lives, but I believe we can grow to become beautiful, more aware and content human beings and it can start from the depths of our own individual inquiry and contemplative work.
