My journey in the world of yoga started When I was 18 and in different ways tried to enable my self to find some more stillness in my life of doing. Having trouble with quieting my mind I’ve always found it hard to be in a non doing space, as my thoughts became so much louder then, harder to avoid, distracting. What I knew about yoga was stillness in the non doing, somethingI was not used to or thinking I was even capable of.

 

At first yoga felt to slow, almost like waisting
my time. So very physical and demanding yoga became my way in, my first “yogic love”. Because, when the asanas where so challenging that I needed all of my focus and presence not to fail (which was a big feat of mine back then), I suddenly noticed, My mind was clear, nothing was distracting me.

 

I believe that for many of us the guidance in to more subtle practices, or to come into stillness, often requires us to go through our physical
body, because that’s what we’re more familiar with. So to start with more physical practices
or before trying to meditate, Allowing or selfs
to come into that space where we feel safe, supported and relaxed, Because when we’re there, anything & everything can happen.
