Grass Roots Yoga

by Yoga Genie August 1, 2011

“These days, my yoga practice is teaching me to embrace imperfection: to have compassion for all the ways things haven’t turned out as I planned, in my body and in my life – for the ways things keep falling apart, and failing, and breaking down. It’s less about fixing things, and more about learning to be present for exactly what is.”

– Some yoga wisdom from Anne Cushman

Anne is the latest in my collection of yogi’s with their feet on the ground.

Things DO fall apart – so what? Things do return to less-than-what-you-hoped-for-yourself stasis.

But life, and yoga, is a dance with your own stasis state.

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.
