I love your concept, Louisa! As I recently just finished my first yoga teacher training, it is nice to receive regular updates and information about yoga philosophy 🙏
Thank you so much. I did the training in Varkala, in South India.
I would say I am on the path of Raja Yoga right now. I incorporate Hatha yoga, pranayama and meditation techniques in my morning routine. Did I understand your question right?
Well, I know I am a complete mish mash. I came to yoga via mindfulness and meditation, so that is still very much a part of my path, and I teach a hatha-based practice, in a very reflective style… I feel called towards gentler flows and restorative asanas at present. It’s all so interesting. How long have you been practicing?
It really is interesting! I have been practicing yoga since 4-5 years. Recently, I feel a stronger calling towards gentle hatha yoga too, compared to my beginnings, when my focus was more on strong vinyasa flow.
Nancy, thank-you for sharing this aspect of your journey with us. It’s wonderful to have you. What you describe is something that I hear quite often: the more physical practices can become challenging, for various reasons, and then our practice changes and adapts, leaving us to work with what feels good - in the moment. Since the pandemic, my asana practice has slowed down and become much more gentle.

Fantastic! Thank-you. And congratulations on the course. Where did you do your training? What path (or sort of path) do you find yourself on?

Yes. Spot on. Thank you. That sounds fascinating.
Which path are you on right now? It is so interesting to hear about the journey of others.

This sounds fabulous! And I have been thinking about I want to go back to yoga philosophy sometime soon so how timely 💕👏
Thank-you! I am so pleased it resonates! 🩷
