This is a magnetic presentation; at once confronting and illuminating, ferocious and gentle.
WARNING: Occasional strong language.
The practice of modern postural yoga easily become an unconscious attempt to emulate desirable ideals of body and mind. Too often this results in the development of inauthentic ways of moving, breathing and behaving. The yoga student becomes "good at yoga" and, in the process, loses touch with their authentic self. A spiritual facade is formed and worn like a mask.
Our Original Nature cannot be manufactured through willful manipulation of body, mind and breath. When the anxious act of attempting to produce peace, grace, union, enlightenment is relinquished, we come to recognize that these desired states were in us all along. Like the sun behind passing clouds. the Great Light is always shining within us.
Recorded during the opening lecture of a two-day intensive in yoga, self-healing and natural movement (Arizona 2012).
