Being a new yoga teacher, I'm having so much fun exploring different techniques and genres in my yoga classes!🥳
I still clearly remember walking into my first Hatha yoga class at 19 years old (which was 19 years ago!), immediately becoming obsessed with how a few simple stretches could make the noise of the world go away and create so much inner space and euphoric peace. 🕉🙏🏼🫶🏽🧘🏻♀️
Over the years I went through many different phases of enjoying Vinyasa, Bikram (hot), Yin and Restorative yoga (among others), before exploring the world of dancing, plant medicine, mindfulness, meditation, forest bathing, ice bathing, pranayama, holotrophic and shamanic breathwork, somatic movement, tapping, qigong, energy work, reiki and sound frequency... basically, if it existed, I tried it 👣🛀🏻 🔥🧎♀️🌵🌍🪹🌎🍄🌏🐸 🌋. And I loved them all!! And realised...
'YOGA is more than perfecting poses. It is a PRACTICE FOR THE MIND to become present, where observing thoughts without effort allows us to experience INNER STILLNESS. This is the FLOW STATE. This is where we connect to the I that exists beyond labels. This is where ABUNDANCE, CREATIVITY, INSPIRATION, and MANIFESTATION exist. This is 'I am'. - Abi
As a now new English speaking yoga TEACHER in a predominately Swiss German speaking town, it's natural to want to find a unique niche ... and I just couldn't pick one!!
I love them all 😂🙃
So, taking a minute, I started listening and..
My inner voice, inner child, inner guidance system REALLY called me to do a combination of these. So, while consciously ensuring the principles of yoga underpin each practice, I've decided to follow my heart and do it!
And so, I introduce you to 'Somatic Yoga Flow' 🕉🫶🏽
A mindful practice for mind, body, and soul.
Hope to see you in a class soon!
Love
Abi
