Yogashcittavrittinirodhah
Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind.
Tadā drashtuh svarūpé avasthānam
Then the seer abides in itself, resting in its true nature.
Presence ・listening ・clear vision ・silence
When I get asked what yoga I teach, I don’t really know what to say.
First of all I don’t teach, I share something that touches me.
I share a moment that brings us closer to silence, where the innate nature of being is spontaneously revealed.
This sharing evolves with me, by my inner discoveries, my own experiences, through life and my many encounters.
It softens with time, for it realises it has nothing to prove.
It simplifies with the years, for it gets closer to who I am.
It takes more and more space in my life, for I realise it is it.
And it gives itself the right to be everything, detached from any doctrine, for it knows it is unlimited.
I do not need to know what it is.
What matters is that it brings tranquility, listening and presence.
That it brings space and transforms the fear of it into the curiosity to know oneself.
That it reinforces our discernment and connects us back to our inner knowing.
That it makes us want to care – for ourselves – for others – for life.
That it teaches us to live with grace and authenticity each moment of our life.
That it awakens us, and places us at the heart of ourselves.
Where everything is love.
Where we know ourselves to be that.
Yoga, as a state of being.
