This past Sunday was the 5th Annual Sydney Yoga Expo. It just gets bigger every year! I remember the first one back in Padington Town Hall. It was just a small little family event with a few stalls and now, 5 yoga stages, speakers, panels, and even coffee! It was a great oportunity to get the yoga comunity together and take a few yoga classes.
I took part in the class with Twee Merrigan, who was teaching her yoga flow which was like nothing I have ever done before! First we expanded our concsiousness from the breadth in ever increasing space till we were part of the entire universe! Then we moved our bodies to music, attempting to feel what we needed to be doing and not simply taking our usual poses which we have done over so many lives. The practice was all about feeling what needed to be felt and not about what we were being told.
Then there was the usual yoga demonstration by Simon Borg-Olivier, who earlier confided in me that what he really wanted to do was have a restorative practice. We both agreed that watching him in childs post for 30 minutes would probably put the audience to sleep.
