What a wonderful weekend workshop with Christine Borg.  Christine's energy and enthusiasm makes it impossible to not want to flow like water as you move your body into shapes.  Her yoga encourages you to find a lightness, to play with what the body can do, not bound by externally imposed limitations, not forcing your body to do as you want, but allowing it to unfurl rather than unfold, finding its own path. dancing to its own rhythm.  Her hands-on approach guides the body to undo, lengthen and release and her boundless energy and individual attention make you want to befriend your body, to listen to its needs, its song and its wisdom.  As I experiment with the spirals the fluidity and play with the movements my body can make, I am reminded to slow things down, to enable the separation and connections to happen.  I hope to be able to encourage this same trusting of our own internal knowledge with my students.  And Look forward to Christine holding a workshop in Glasgow soon.

If you have never been to Findhorn, I recommend that you go.  It has a magical feeling: a microcosm of inspiration, beauty and fine weather.  The long sandy beaches disappear with the strange tides, the beautiful curious seals watching you from just off the sea shore, Gregorian Chants in the nearby Pluscarden Abbey, narrow wiggly paths leading through the village and to the beach, pretty gardens, the laid-back peaceful ambiance, and the higgledy-piggledy houses in both the village and foundation draw you into Findhorn.

It was the perfect setting for a workshop with Diane, an inspiration to many teachers.  She weaves through the class encouraging questions - both externally to ask her for guidance and internally through observation and awareness, exuberantly moving bodies, opening spaces long forgotten.  The seals of Findhorn act like muses for the practice - graceful, inquisitive, peaceful yet playful.
