MOVEMENT & YOGA
I love to move and in Yoga we learn to move more efficiently. When moving from pose to pose we move from the centre and stabilize the body while gaining mobility at the same time. Yoga also lets us observe the movement patterns in the breath. We watch the breath noticing which parts of the body move as the breath enters, which move as it exits, and how these parts relate.
Breath and gravity are two forces with which we are confronted with on this planet and life requires a harmonious and intimate relationship between breath and posture. In the practice of Yoga this relationship is consciously explored.
Yoga also teaches us to follow the movement patterns in the mind, citta vritti, the whirls of the mind. We make choices about whether these patterns serve us. And we can begin to move toward stilling these whirls.
