Real Life Yoga

by Yoga Genie July 31, 2011

“I practice now not so much with ambition as with gratitude. And I ask myself frequently, ‘How can I express kindness right now?’ whether I am in a headstand of washing dishes.”

– Some yoga wisdom from Judith Lasater

Now Judith Lasater is a woman who understands yoga in real life. I once attended a yoga centre that addressed this topic exclusively – keeping gratitude and intention amidst the detrius of real life. It was refreshing to hear so many women struggled to keep their equanimity amidst bored children, but inspiring to see the dedication and commitment to do so just the same.

Yours,

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.
