For all its twists and turns life has taken, I have felt blessed to be able to draw on the levelness yoga has taught me over the past thirty years. In particular I have found the ancient poetic works of the Upanishads deeply nourishing. One such significant impression within the Manduka Upanishad, speaks of the dear friends, the conscious expanded self and the living conditioned self.
"There are two birds, two sweet friends, who dwell on the same tree. One eats the fruits thereof, and the other looks on in silence."
Being particularly inspired by this beautiful analogy, my teaching looks to support you in getting to know these two inner friends for the true potential they each hold. When they are firm friends life flows better than when in tension and conflict arises.
While this may sound simple in principle, to work on forming a steady relationship between consciousness and livingness requires us to better understand our whole selves. In essence, when we explore the wisdom held in yogic philosophy with prescribed yoga postures, the assistance from the breath, and absorbing meditation practices, all practiced mindfully and with compassion, we can bring a sense of wholeness that heartens and nurtures our very soul.
