Over 35 years ago I organised my first workshop with the title 'The Body Doesn't Lie''...and at that time I felt I was onto something...something fairly bold and yet true, something hidden yet obvious. I still believe our bodies don't lie. Our bodies are talking to us all the time.

 

We have all learned this lesson in sometime in our lives; the body knows the answer before our brain does. The fact that the answer lies within continues to confound me. Why? Because the listening - and the hearing - especially the hearing is often so very difficult. What is the message? What are you (body) telling me? And even more difficult sometimes: what should I actually do with this information? You might ask yourself? 

 

  
Most of you recently heard my announcement that I basically want to change jobs. Almost directly after the announcement my 2-year old - becoming chronic hip/groin/lower back "issue" - started to loosen up. The very fact that it starts to melt and change and heal since my announcement still confounds me (happily). I have not left my job. I have perhaps more on my plate than before with the transition issues, but my body heard my intention. It's like I finally listened to my inner voice asking me to make a fundamental change in my life, and my body deep within seems to be happy with this.

 

 

So I like to ask you - what do you want for Christmas? What do you really, really long for? What kinds of ways do you want to feel? And the beautiful thing about going for the feeling, is the actual thing you choose (your partner, job, hobby) may totally surprise you when you choose it by the way you want to feel, not by the way you think it should be. And that is a gift.

 

Much love to you on this December month. May your holidays be special and full of delicious satisfying moment-to-moment feelings!

SPECIAL MENTION

As Hilary mentioned we are going through some transitions here at Yoga Moves...we like to thank and give a deep bow & thank you to Emmy as she prepares to end her tenure with Yoga Moves. Her behind-the-scenes support has been amazing and we will miss her (hopefully she still comes back to practice and give us a wink!)

 

And equally to Jasmijn, who in the last year as training coordinator discovered that what she really wanted to do was to teach more...so blessings on you Jasmijn and we're happy we keep around as a teacher!

 

Welcome to three new helpers you might see around: Irma, Iris & Annelies are all helping out now in different ways around the front and back office! Very nice to have you on our team!

Waarom zo streng?
Nanda Peek over Iyengar Yoga

Ik voelde me voor de leeuwen gegooid, toen hij naast me kwam staan en het commando `straight knees' in mijn oren tetterde. Dit is mijn eerste yogales in India in 1980 met BKS, ook wel onder zijn leerlingen heel toepasselijk B.eat, K.ick en S.hout genoemd. Wat nu? Het huis staat in brand en ik ben scherp, heel scherp. Het voetstuk, waar ik BKS op heb staan is groot en ik barst spontaan in tranen uit.
