The Yoga Wheel

"YOGA IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO TO. ITS THE PLACE WE RECOGNIZE." I approach movement ( San. Sthiram Sukham Asanam). In the first two, the witnessing mind is present.

The Yoga Wheel offers an ongoing practice of the embodiment of all of our intricate and sophisticated body/mind layers and sheaths, so that we can inhabit this in every moment. Asanas and Pranayama) through experiential anatomy and dynamic principles of movement, rather than the mechanics of postures alone. In yoga, we inquire and explore into two main pillars of Yoga: Structural Stability and Ef

fortlessness of the body and mind (San. Using mindfulness as a vehicle for the practice, as somatic practitioners, we “anchor” through three paradigms of the embodiment process: Visualization, Somatization and Embodiment. In the last, it's a direct experience, initiated from the cells themselves. "The Source of this process is Love". B.Bainbridge Cohen

In a landscape of the yoga practice, we enquire into deeper layers ( organs and bones), as well as the intricate (and very often "stubborn") layers of fascia, the connective tissue which surrounds literally everything; from miniature cells, organs, bones and muscles, to the entire surface of the body, adhered with the skin. I hold special curiosity to the movement patterns and sequences, we- humans were formed during embryogenesis, the first 8 week of our mother's pregnancy. Thereafter, following the movement of fetus around the umbilicus and placenta, as well as movement processes of our own birth, postnatal care and subsequent movement stages (volitional limb movements, crawling and creeping) up to finally walking on our own two feet, which will remain throughout the life. In a sense, the “goal” of the practice is in the path itself. Through both stillness and movement we are braiding the practice of wholeness, which in the essence is the practice of Yoga. Much like Tai Chi and Chi Kung, this approach to Yoga stimulates the subtle flow of energy through meridians, hence providing health benefits such as balance, coordination, agility, flexibility and reflexes, as well as helping to release stress, enhance the elimination of waste and overall strengthen the immune system. In my practice, I recommend regular Yoga and Pranayama practice as an adjunct to the therapeutic process.
