Integrating Yoga into our Everyday Living

Esoteric Yoga is Part of My Life

Earlier this year I attended a Level One Esoteric Yoga Course. For the duration of the course we had the opportunity to partner with other participants, to practice giving and receiving a yoga session. Over the course of the days I could feel how the modality allowed me to deepen my relationship with my body and with the quality of stillness, which is the core value that this modality nurtures. This was a different experience from being a client at other esoteric healing sessions, where I had often experienced deep stillness.
The difference with Esoteric Yoga is that when I am practicing, I am my own practitioner, observing and feeling my body in a very tender and non-judgmental way throughout the sequence of gentle movements and cues given to me.
 
I have discovered how profound, powerful and healing it is to know what true stillness really feels like when I am in charge.
 
Since the course I have enjoyed receiving a number of yoga sessions. I have appreciated that I can do the movements with a wall as support, and cushions and rugs to keep me comfortable and warm. As a client, with each Esoteric Yoga session it’s like I have been given a new beginning, a new opportunity to start afresh with a way to be that feels absolutely delicious and solid.
 
I have also committed to practicing 100 hours with my own clients in order to become accredited as a practitioner. I have seen and felt how the sessions support others in their lives, helping them to deal with difficult relationships, health problems, patterns of behavior, anxiousness and lots more, by bringing them back to stillness and presence.
 
It’s not that I have to provide any solutions for my clients, and this is the beauty of Esoteric Yoga. It allows each person to access their own wisdom, to feel the strength in their tenderness and delicateness from within, to connect with their essence - their soul, and to learn to trust the inner knowing that we all have. As practitioner and client together we can suggest and commit to changes, become more aware of how we are moving and using our bodies, what our thoughts are, and love ourselves more.
 
My relationship with myself and the relationships with my clients is something to be celebrated. We have shared how we live with less emotion and more joy, trust and surrender – I cannot recommend these qualities highly enough, they have my full embrace.

Life becomes an unfolding process with this modality as a support. Esoteric Yoga has changed the way I move, whenever I feel tense or tired it offers a restorative stop moment to recharge and/or rest.
 
Esoteric Yoga will always be something I cherish in my daily life.

Bernadette thank you for the opportunity to experience esoteric yoga during your practice hours. During the session the surrendering, stillness and connection with my body was felt deeply and has left an imprint that is now part of my everyday. It is a reference point that can be accessed when situations and challenges come up and it leaves me with a choice to leave the stillness and engage or remain with myself

I very much agree with all you’ve shared, Bernadette. The simplicity of the movements and the continual call back to feeling the body from the inside, to just observe without any trying to conform to a certain ‘correct’ posture or pose frees me to actually listen to my body. And what I’ve learned is deeply profound. The more I allow myself to feel the quality of Stillness, the more I’m aware of all the busy and distracted thoughts, the nervous tension in my shoulders, the movements I do without any awareness and how empty all that feels in comparison to feeling full of Stillness. It’s true too, that my days are less emotional and far more beautiful and joyous as a result of regularly participating in Esoteric Yoga. How great to hear you’re becoming a practitioner....we need on on every street corner!
