All the Yoga out there & the symbolism of AUM
After a few years of falling deeply in love with everything I thought Yoga was about, I began – as lots of us do – to become overwhelmed by all the different kinds of Yoga I was bumping into. What should I be practicing and how often? Are the physically strenuous practices such as Ashtanga as ‘Yogic’ as sitting for hours in deep meditation, for example? Does the fact that social media throws up images of Goat Yoga, Tequila Yoga and many more kinds of yoga and counting, somehow threaten the authenticity of Yoga’s origins?
What is Yoga really all about? And if whatever kind of Yoga we’re drawn to makes us feel great, does it matter to ask this question anyway?

Thank you to everyone in the Hatha Flow Class for continuing to practice with such grace and focus as the fabulous photographer (and website designer) Lee Searle, wandered around the room to capture these lively, colourful images. He’s really captured the spirit of this Monday night class!
