From the Well-Trodden Path to a Yoga of Our Own Path

A message from Angela about the May and October courses

Hello and Greetings to you all dear Friends, Sisters and Students on the Inner Journey of a ‘Feminine Yoga’!

I am so looking forward to being with you again and of course to meeting new-comers who have interest in deepening their practice.

I have been on my own Inner journey for so long now that it bears little semblance to the Yoga of past years, but such is the fascinating process once we attend to our own path and needs.

With great gratitude to our teachers and early formal practices, we all need to step off the well-trodden path and find our selves as we are right now in this moment, with all our unique imperfections, challenges, damages and hidden issues!

This is not easy, but in meeting these fearful or struggling places …..we find a fresh understanding, the amazing grace of life and an inner stability to face more often the truth, as we stand clear in our own Light.

Slowly, with presence and devotion we shall see together what unfolds!

With much love,
Angela

Walking One’s Own Path In Yoga

A message from Angela about the July and September courses

Dear Friends and Students,

Did you know that Victor and I have taught together for Forty years? We traveled and taught around the world, finally making Eftalou on Lesvos our home.

Teaching a course together is a special and unique experience, as we each come from our own practice and inspire each other ….so there is always a chance to discover more!

It is different from teaching alone. We need to be open and listen to each other, inspired by the needs of our students, which keeps it lively, fresh and spontaneous with the possibility to go in any direction at any time. This creates the possibility for participants to learn and hear the teaching in different ways, from other angles or approaches, giving them the opportunity to choose and trust their own personal way.

Read a note below from Victor about our two joint workshops this year.

Love,
Angela

A message from Victor about the July and September courses

Dear friends,

We welcome you back to our joint courses and to those for whom this might be the first experience of Angela and Victor teaching together, I will give a small introduction!

We first met in 1971 in the few classes by BKS Iyengar in his yearly London visits, where he inspired both of us to get deeper into our own practice for the rest of the year until we met him in the following year for some four available classes .

We became two of his favorite teachers and  we traveled separately to many places around the world teaching his yoga, Iyengar inspired but personally interpreted.

Later as we became more and more critical about the certifications and the fixation of the teachings…..now known worldwide as ‘Iyengar Yoga’, feeling it was not only about getting into the most important relationship in my life with Angela, but also our common mental and physical direction in how and what to teach, drove us away from a  fixed and set pathway to a promise of ‘spiritual enlightenment’.

By guiding ourselves back into deeper, often unexplored levels of our given internal spaces and releasing blockages to the flow of life energy into the space of the surrounding environment, we reconnect to the fullness of life and hope to  inspire others.

Lots of Love,
Victor
