The HUY Way
Come sit close, I have something really amazing to tell you. Have you heard of Yoga, the HUY Way………..
My Mission:
To help individuals who wish to improve their wellbeing, create mental and physical balance, through group classes, 1-1 teaching, retreats and courses.
I wrote this mission statement because I mean it! It’s what drives me to teach and repeat, week after week. And teach I do. Yoga for me isn’t about bodies turning up, telling them what to do and then saying goodbye until next time. It’s about giving people the mental and physical space and the tools through yoga, to learn about themselves, to know a little more of how they can live better in themselves, week on week.
Commitment is needed for this to happen, from me and from the student. Whether to turn up to class or not that week, shouldn’t be an option but a non-negotiable part of the week.
Take this last month for example, many of you may have seen me harping on, through various platforms, to embody a self practice. This has been reflected on our Zoom lessons. Each week I’ve imparted a little information for how the class practice has been structured, what we’re warming up/opening up for and where we are heading with the yoga that day. This might be a physical part of the body or it might be preparing the mind for balance for example. Also each week, I have been sharing with my students, the text ‘Playing The Edges’ by Joel Kramer. This piece of fascinating writing was written in the ‘70s when Yoga was very New Age and little bit Hippie. However it is such a great learning in yoga, how not to aim for the end goal but enjoy the journey and the learning you discover along the way. In our next Blog we can discuss this text more. So come prepared to voice an opinion, I’d love to hear it!
So you see, it’s not just about coming to your mat, being there, pulling some shapes and leaving again. It’s more than that and this is why I teach, love to teach and am so pleased to see my students grow into themselves, sparkle and feel that little bit better in body and mind.
Namaste.
