Please watch the 9 minute video below that reflects a bit upon the different aspects of the yoga practice - POSE - GESTURE - SYMBOL
After watching the video, please reflect upon these 3 shapes that a practice can take . . . and share some of your own experiences.
What yoga “pose” or asana is one of your “go-to” asanas that help you to give good contact and meaning to your PHYSICAL body. (you can name more than one)
Have you ever experienced a yoga asana that evoked an emotional response - do you recognise how the “pose” transformed into a “gesture”. If you like, please share a bit with me how you perceive the emotional aspect of the yoga practice for you. NOTE! Do not try to “rationalize” it . . . if you dont know how it emerged, then stay with that . . . but share the felt-sense of that experience.
Have you ever had a yoga practice that naturally brought you more into a “journey” flow rather than a practice that simply linked asanas? If you wish, you can describe that practice.
Do you have any questions about your own practice , or teaching, that could relate to the gestural, relational, emotional aspect of yogaSOMATICS?
