Peter Thomson: There is a method, and an order, in the asana that needs to be respected.

February 16, 2018 By yoganook 4 Comments

In this podcast, I’d like to introduce you to Peter Thomson, my first yoga teacher. I started yoga with him way back in the 1980s. If not for him, I would not be a yoga teacher today. Peter sees yoga as a way of understanding life, as a meditative activity and training. He talked about […]

Being or becoming?

Geeta Class

This morning was my first class back at the Iyengar Institute (RIMYI) after 14 years. Even though I was here in Pune, India last year for the Geeta Convention, I didn’t attend classes at RIMYI. Some things have changed – no more squat toilets – but mostly it feels the same, my feet opening on the marble floors just as they did all those years ago. Prashant looks older of course, more like his father. Let me predicate this blog with a disclaimer – this is my interpretation of what Prashant said – and as he said, we are all making our own recordings of what’s going on according to the quality of our equipment!

Practice Makes Perfect

My son is learning the piano, so every morning I harangue and cajole him to do his practice. Let me first say we have established that he wants to keep playing the piano and he enjoys it. Nevertheless, he still needs a bit of a push and the conditions to be created for him to get a […]

Active Body, Still Mind

August 20, 2015 By yoganook Leave a Comment

Active Body, Still Mind

Have you noticed that after yoga you come out of class more centered and calm? Your mind at peace, resting a moment from the incessant activity that often occupies it. Patanjali wrote about this phenomenon thousands of year ago in the yoga sutras, short aphorisms describing the yogic path. Sutra 1.2 yogah cittavritti nirodhah is […]

Tyraman Kitchen

Tyraman Retreat Australia Day Weekend January 2014 I had only been participating in yoga for about four months when the invite to a retreat in the Hunter Region of NSW came on offer. At first, I was a little reluctant to go. Life was busy and my confidence in doing the poses (asanas) was a […]
