Some days, the body calls for a softer practice. Or maybe not...

YOU WILL FEEL BETTER
after Hatha yoga class with me, not just hot, tired and sore. How?

In the class we use asana alignment as a method of restoring healthy muscular balance. This, in its turn, relieves the persistent strain in muscles, tones the weak zones, and helps to correct posture. This is the base for fostering health and general well-being, carrying the effects of hatha yoga into our daily lives.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE A GOOD MOTHER

…I said, when I realized I was about to cook meatballs from the nonexistent ground meat. Well, it existed yesterday but it was no good after sitting in the fridge for too long, so we had to part ways. What was I thinking today spending all of that time peeling and preparing vegetables for the never-to-be mixture?

I had the beats pounding in my head for the imaginary flamenco footwork. I had the echo of Sanskrit verb conjugation — the new constellation in the galaxy of a language newly opened to me. I had a pressing question of how to recover all the inspiration that lights us up from the inside and gives us the energy to create and share.

I guess I was between two worlds. One was being who I am, driven by my own curiosity and desire for novelty in everything I do. The other one — some kind of standard. A “good mother,” a “good wife”. Something that exists only as a reference in people’s minds. It is so vague that most of us would describe it in our own way. We may well surprise each other by sharing our mental “blueprint.” So I was trying to fit into a set of rules that are not even defined. I was spending time on being someone unreal.

How often do we do the same thing — cease to exist? Just because we ignore our own core self, our feelings, our deep desires, for the sake of being … well… a fiction?

So if you are not seeing the details of the world around you — stop. Read a book, ride a bike, go dancing. Do something that has been occupying your mind but has been pushed to the back of your head. See if it makes you a better… ‘parent,’ ‘child,’? no, maybe a better human.

I have just been reminded of the difference in understanding or, rather, expectations what the spiritual practice is. Contemporary AI-generated images VS aghori practitioner depicted in “I am God” (Naan Kadavul) 2009 movie.
What do you envision when people mention spiritual practice?

Hatha yoga is one of the ways within a larger tradition of yoga that has been there since the Bhagavad Gita and the first Upanishads.

The tradition of yoga is not merely about physical exercise, however, without the body the practice would not be possible. Yoga teaches understanding and feeling one’s own body and going beyond, reaching out to sense the space and the people within it. Yoga is not about silencing yourself. Yoga is as much understanding of one’s own mind and emotions as of the body.

Whether you have or have not tried the practice before, I invite you to step onto the mat and be ready to explore. You are the “terra incognita” in yoga, the territory to be explored.

Join my classes in the park through July and August, every Tuesday morning, at 9 am. We will work on asanas and pranayamas and learn to decipher the subtle which is swept away by rush, noise and everyday distraction.

Participation is donation-based.

A Run from Oneself
..is how it felt. A young woman, dressed so perfectly that it seemed that a team of stylists had arranged the folds of her half-tucked shirt, was backing up from a man paying for his coffee. There was no line, so she kept moving along the cafe counter until the distance between them became so great that trace of warmth from their bodies got dissolved in the conditioned air.

A moment earlier, she gazed at him. He unconsciously licked his lips. A few moments before that, he allowed her to order first, as they approached the counter from the opposite sides.

Upon one glance things appeared — clear sympathy and warmth, something extraordinary, something that could have led to connection… and got ignored.
A seed of feeling was swept away by the social norms.

Will it disappear? Not really. It will take its place by countless similar seeds, it will contribute to the portrait of a “happy-yet-something’s missing” life. It will drive the bursts of melancholy and unexplained sadness, and maybe get interpreted as “tiredness” “burn out” or “long day”.

What was at a stake? A smile? A friendly sparkle in the eyes? A feeling of abundance of the world? A better sense of who they both were?

When real life comes through the door and looks at us with a sparkle of admiration, friendliness or love… We turn and run away, as if from the unwelcome guest. Aren’t we running from ourselves?

A sparkle of emotions can ruin a union.
Egocentrism contradicts to a state of partnership.
Can self-denial win you peace (spoiler: not likely, ALL interests must be considered),
and non-acting bring about non-violence?

Dimitrios Danilidis, founder of Yogis Without Borders & President of European Union of Yoga has shared his lecture Ahiṃsā: Beyond Moral Idealism, where he described yogic principles that help build the internal intent towards constructive cooperation and unity VS conflicting, separation and violence.
