Hi Everyone

Happy International Yoga Day!

We’ve just joined Indian PM Modi with 15,000 other yoga practitioners at Mysore Palace in India, via livestream.  Modi initiated World Yoga Day in 2015 via the United Nations and it has been embraced and celebrated globally since then.

The theme for 2022 is ‘Yoga for Humanity’ encouraging through the practice of yoga, a deeper connection with oneself and greater compassion for everyone and everything, by a continual, regular holistic practice.  As Modi said, “Yoga is not just part of life, but a way of life.”

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Mysore, India.  I was there about 23 years ago.  I practiced there with Pattabhi Jois and the Ashtanga Vinyasa students in a small yoga shala in Mysore for a month, which was the headquarters of Ashtanga Vinyasa in the world at the time.  Pattabhi Jois’ Guru (and also BKS Iyengar’s Guru), T Krishnamacharya (1888 – 1989) who is considered the Father of Modern Yoga taught the Royal Family of Mysore at the Mysore Palace for many years. All of these Yoga Masters were continually mentioned in the footage of World Yoga Day Celebrations today.

At Yogareal the practice we’ve set up now, enables everyone no matter what their situation, to be able to work very specifically in a stable, supportive and conscious way on their mat with specific props to open their body, strengthen and stabilise. Then the breath / energy flows in a very conscious way, healing both body and mind opening the heart and elevating the spirit.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Love

Rob and The Yogareal Team
