In our yoga practice, we can explore each inhale and exhale as a new beginning. We can pause and come back to a movement again and again, each time learning something new. We can also reframe what it means to practice yoga. Is it enough to explore one child’s pose? While sitting, can we find length in our spine alongside a grounded breath, or maybe gently move the neck from side to side when we notice tension building?

Compassion is at the heart of yoga and Reconnectology. It invites a mindful practice that focuses on becoming aware of what is present.

How we move matters and variation is key. Our joints like to move through their full range, the spine wants to move in all directions, the muscles need to be contracted and lengthened. The body is designed for movement, it is a remarkable organism, it possesses self healing and regulatory mechanisms within it.  We just need to set the optimum conditions for the body, then it knows what to do.

When we think about thinking, we want to get really fascinated about the patterns that show up in our mind. Understanding that this is part of our design and profoundly influenced by the body and interaction with the environment. In doing so, we can find understanding and work out what could be wise action - we find a compassionate response.  

Reconnectology is a space where we can practice compassion together in the many forms it can take as the antidote to disconnection.
