“The first is when you have to deal with people who come once a week 'to do yoga', who are not yet truly interested and who are not always faithful. It will be the hardest time for you.
The second stage is when these people will be touched by the grace of yoga and will start practicing on their own. They will want to know more. Their search will be triggered.
Everything will then become easier for you, but at the same time more complex.”
Gérard Blitz, YOGA the rule of the game
It has been almost a year since our face-to-face activities ceased, and then rarefied, and then interrupted again.
During the first lockdown we have decided not to continue the practice on line for several reasons looking for, Instead, to promote individual practice: any individual practice, as we describe in the article.
For us, For example,, era work on the book.
We tried to show our closeness on social networks and here on the site, writing articles, giving ideas and suggestions and sharing the experience of many and many practitioners who were trying to practice alone (more often in cat companions, in reality).
Each cercato sought their own way of living that moment and brought the practice into their life in the most accessible way, most felt. It took time, it took commitment, perhaps, fatigue. Certainly presence.
But, when we met, there are many who told us about the evolution of the practice in their lives. To share strategies and acquisitions, loves blossomed for practices previously opposed and well-being derived from the suggestions and inspirations received.
We had, obviously, also shared the practices carried out on line from friendly centers, promoting experimentation and contamination (which is a beautiful thing, even if now the term sounds really bad!) and what emerged is, obviously, much more than we expected.
In September we resumed at full capacity, contingent but happy.
And when the face-to-face practice stopped again in November, we decided to continue it on line: now yes, we could really do it. Because we didn't experience it as an obligation, a surrogate, a necessity. We experienced it as a desire, a possible space for sharing that, But, it is not “necessary”: we all learned a bit’ more to live with ourselves and to bring the practice into this solitude.
In fact, there is someone who is not practicing on line because it carries on its own individual practice.
Is not it beautiful?
So let's go back to the farce of Blitz: the path of Yoga as a path of liberation, of emancipation, of independence, which enables us to adapt to ever-changing situations.
This is the real possibility.
