It's much easier to teach people how a shape should look like than teaching them to move and feel into their own bodies.
-
As with most of today's forms of yoga, it's about instructing poses.
How it should look like, what muscles should be engaged, flexed or rotated, and where your bones are.
In this world, there is a right way to look, and a wrong way! We spend so much time stuck in our heads that exploring and feeling good is almost impossible.
-
As we do in #stralayoga instructing movement rather than instructing poses is very different. With movement it's not possible to teach a visual that is correct or universal.
-Movement is energetic, individual, unique and can only be guided by feeling, not by ideas.
Poses become arbitrary waypoints -not endpoints- that are no more important than any other place we can be. We become more capable in our body without requiring a lot of effort.
-
For a lot of people, shifting their beliefs from a single correct form towards this idea of guided movement is difficult.
In class, things seem hard, different, new and it can take time to let go of habits and beliefs to experience a new feeling.
-
Some people find that they re-learn how to move. They sit down and get up more slowly and safely, they stop rushing, they slow down, they move more like water!
-
This is good! And it's something worthwhile practicing not just in yoga but in everything you do! ✨
