The Yoga Practice ~ hatha yoga classes for beginners and experienced students

The teaching is an holistic approach taken from differing aspects of yoga, psychology and healing; aimed at awakening the ‘buddhi’, or discriminating part of one’s Being. As such it can be termed ‘Buddhi Yoga’ ~ “I awaken those who are dedicated to ‘underlying Consciousness’ and who aspire to go deeper in understanding into Buddhi Yoga: in this way, they are enabled to Realise My Nature” ~ Bhagavad Gita verse 10:10

“The external life we lead is but the manifestation of the Supreme (Pure Consciousness); it is the interplay of energy and consciousness. That should be remembered constantly”

Holistic yoga teaching in Kingston Upon Thames

for understanding the relevance of yoga science and philosophy in everyday life.

Welcome to the Kingston Yoga Practice where you are invited to deepen your knowledge and practice of yoga beyond the physical engagement.

Through examining the eight limbs of yoga as a system for developing and controlling the Mind, to bring about peace of Mind, we discover that ultimately it is only the steadiness of the Mind which changes our habitual reactions to things (usually changes in our circumstances). In bringing about a positive attitude to every situation we are creating positive energy to heal our lives.

Through understanding Advaita or non-dual philosophy we are more able to see the Mind as that part of our Being which attempts to resolve our emotions, but emotions are not thoughts, they are feelings.

Do you worry about things?

If you can solve your problem,

Then what is the need of worrying?

If you cannot solve it,

Then what is the use of worrying?

~ Shantideva

During 2012 I am teaching some of these deeper aspects of yoga sometimes in small groups, and sometimes on a one-to-one basis. This is a dialogue around the more philosophical and meditational aspects of yoga; understanding who we are and how we fit into the universe.

Over the past two centuries scientists, medical practitioners and psychiatrists of the modern Western world have systematically attempted to reduce human beings and their environment to mechanisms that can be understood by dissection and examination, completely missing the interconnectedness of the vital cosmic energy field which we inhabit. Only in very recent years have quantum scientists begun to recognise the essential nature of existence; something the ancient yogis knew intimately 4,000 years ago.

Without doubt the ancient science and philosophy of yoga combine to offer the only truly holistic integration of mind, body and spirit known to humankind; and in 2012 I will be offering sessions to pass on an integration of this wisdom with our everyday experiences of life.
