This week we\u2019re very proud to announce a brand new teacher<\/strong> to Movement for Modern Life, Catherine Annis<\/a>. Catherine is a Scaravelli inspired yoga teacher. You may ask, what on earth is that all about?<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, Vanda Scaravelli was a true yoga pioneer. She often talked about the importance of listening to the body:<\/p>\n

\u2018You have to learn how to listen to your body, going with it and not against it, avoiding all effort or strain and centring your attention on that very delicate point, the back of the waist (where the spine moves in two different directions).\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Scaravelli way of practicing yoga is nothing to do with a workout, or the achievement of poses. In fact, you could say that the form of yoga is unique in not being at all about getting into any particular poses.<\/p>\n

How freeing is that? No poses to achieve. No progression. It\u2019s a revolutionary approach to yoga, which is in fact a freeing of the body.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what happens when all the trying stops, and you truly start to listen to and understand your body.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In our society we are so obsessed with the idea of progression we often forget to really listen to and notice what\u2019s right there in front of us.<\/p>\n

Even on the mat, we\u2019re often grimly determined to \u2018achieve\u2019 the pose and we strive to do more, we twist and force our body into shape and we \u2018challenge\u2019 our mind to face up to poses that don\u2019t seem intuitive for us.<\/p>\n

But how useful is that in a life, in a society, where we use often grim determination to achieve what we think we need to. Indeed, the yoga we practice on the mat often merely replicates the attitude we have in life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Instead, the Scaravelli-inspired approach is to strive less in order to listen to our bodies and get what we need from a yoga practice.<\/p>\n

Her focus was on freeing the spine, and to listen deeply to the body, and increase awareness\u00a0\u201cto absorb the teaching requires infinite time and no ambition\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

If you try Catherine\u2019s new class<\/a>, filmed at the Yoga Garden Party this year, you\u2019ll see that the class is very subtle. And if you approach the class looking for a workout, or to improve your strength or flexibility, or to practice any particular yoga pose, you will be disappointed.<\/p>\n

But if you would like a chance to listen to your body and are interested in what your body says to you as you move, and you\u2019re looking for movements that\u2019ll inform not only your yoga practice, but how you go about your everyday life, you\u2019ll love the class.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I do hope you enjoy Catherine\u2019s teachings as much as I do, she\u2019s on our Movers Group<\/a>\u00a0for any questions.<\/p>\n

<<Learn how to soften through gentle, deliberate and focused subtle action with Catherine’s class>><\/a><\/h3>\n
