Let the Shakti lead the way -

- Learn how to fly in asana.

This was the title of the workshop I attended with Ulrika Engman, on visit in Sweden, at Yoga Shakti. For three hours we explored different positions without really knowing which pose we would end up in. It was all about the journey, as well as how you build stability from your foundation in order to tap into your energy, thereby making difficult positions seem more or less effortless.

She was absolutely phenomenal. Anyone who hasn't tried Anusara yoga should definitely try it out. Founder John Friend has succeeded in erasing the boundaries between philosophical and physical practices in a way that makes doing yoga seem just as natural as breath itself.
