Being Yoga…

by Yoga Genie May 31, 2011

“You cannot do yoga. Yoga is your natural state. What you can do are yoga exercises, which may reveal to you where you are resisting your natural state”.
– Some yoga wisdom from Sharon Gannon

Oh Sharon – your yoga centres occasionally push hard, but your philosophy is fundamentally cool.

I have found Sharon Gannon’s yoga courses to be quite demanding at times, but that’s probably because I am not terribly serious about my practice. I mean I LOVE my practice and will probably always do yoga, and study the occasional yoga course, but I am hardly on any stellar yoga teacher trajectory. I do love the idea of yoga being your natural state… and think of this on the out-breath. Thanks Shaz.

Yours,

Restaurant reviewers find it easier to travel incognito, and so do I. I travel a lot for work and use this as an excuse check out yoga classes, yoga courses and yoga colleges around my home country, Australia. In this yoga blog, I refer to yoga centres in Sydney. I am not actually a yoga teacher, just a passionate yoga student.

I have practised yoga in the US and have done yoga courses in India but have no bias towards any yoga style. Actually, maybe I am biased to a yoga style, or at least certain methods of education applied in yoga courses, but I’ll leave it to you to find out what that is. My mission? I just want people to think a little deeper about yoga.
