Insights from Ajay's Workshop: Focusing on Primary Series and Reflecting on the True Meaning of Yoga | Tapas Yoga HK
Author -
Last week I attended Ajay's workshop, and two things really impacted me that I want to share with everyone.
1. Focusing on Primary Practice
As I shared with students at Tsuen Wan this morning, I have been practicing Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series since 2018 - nearly 6 years now. Although I'm practicing the same movements, I can still gain new insights, make new discoveries, and try new things during practice. I encourage students not to rush to complete the entire Primary or even the entire Second Series. Try shifting your focus from completing the movements to other aspects, such as breathing and drishti (gazing points). Ajay's teaching gave me a lot of inspiration, making me want to focus more on my Primary practice.
2. Reflecting on What Yoga Practice Really Means
As Ashtangis, our morning Mysore practice is what we call Yoga practice. This workshop made me deeply contemplate what true yoga practice really is - is just doing some stretching or drills also yoga practice? What's the difference? Ajay reminded me that yoga practice is not just about physical training, but also includes mental exploration and inner growth.
Thank you, Ajay, for your teaching. I look forward to more learning and growth opportunities in the future!
