I thought I would post a few snippets from my time spent at Windfire this summer. So here is number one:

There is no such thing as an advanced Yoga posture. To be advanced is to FEEL MORE. 

GODFREY DEVEREUX 

Yoga is unity, is wholeness, is indivisibility, is inextricability, is irreplacabilty, is imperfectability just as you are. GODFREY DEVEREUX

A Beginners Course will start on Monday 8th September at Newcastle Buddhist Centre.  Classes take place 7.45-8.45 and run over a course of six weeks.

The next open level class will be at Newcastle Buddhist Centre on 24th July 5.45-7.15pm. There will also be a seven week run of Dynamic Yoga classes at Dance City on Mondays between 21st July and 1st September. Class time is 6.30-8pm and classes will be an open level. They will be taught by Kim, Mac and Jana, all of whom have studied with Godfrey Devereux and are accredited to teach the Dynamic Yoga Method. New autumn timetable coming soon.    

Kim will be visiting Yoga Retreat Centres in Portugal and France so there will only be occasional drop-in classes throughout the summer.

So has anyone worked out why I embedded the Iyengar 1938 clip on 25th April? Tip: it’s not to scare you all with far out bendiness.
