Some teachers come along our path to help us see outside the box. And then there are those rare and exceptional teachers that come our way to show us there is no box! 😵 That’s how I feel after studying and practicing with @carrieowerko. This last intensive in LA left me with a lot of question and doubt about my approach to yoga. Not the kind of doubt that leads to despair, but the kind of doubt that brings delight. I am currently feeling a major shift in my teaching and how I go about sharing this mind-body practice with students. Am I really a teacher? Are they really even my students? What do I really know to help anyone any more than they can already help themselves. What really is pain? How do I really know to help anyone with their injuries? What defines an injury?! What’s a yoga pose and how did it originate?? What’s correct form and proper modification? What does it even mean to “correct” a student? 😲😳🤔 I am highly doubtful there are any “bad” movements or “wrong” postures. The human body is a complex creature of movement and it moves in all directions and it composes itself in infinite forms. All I know is to keep life in balance one must keep moving. Balance is a dynamic experience. As Carrie teaches, movement is medicine and motion is best the lotion. Stability is mobility and vice versa. Thank you Carrie for helping me live the question 🌀 Music by @Prettylights “Finally Moving” ______________________________________________________ Upcoming Workshops in So Cal: Vinyasa Krama, the Iyengar Yoga way March 24th - Costa Mesa @yogaworks_oc Power of Practice with the Chair Prop March 30th - Huntington Beach @kaya.yoga.remedy www.zain.yoga/workshops #yogamovement #movementismedicine #motionisthelotion #carrieowerko #yogainspo #thinkoutsidethebox #thereisnoboxtothinkoutsideof #yogizain #yogatacher #questionyourself #prettylights #finallymoving #yogamoves #dynamicyoga #stabilityandmobility (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buc7_gCBzSA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s32p5st8ln4w
