If you're struggling to make progress in your yoga practice, you gotta get back to basics.
I got to a point on my yoga journey where I realised something: I wasn’t getting any better. In the first few weeks, I made a lot of progress, such as making it through the class without feeling faint. In the subsequent months, I made minor gains in the areas of understanding basic instructions, remembering left from right and holding a plank. But there were moves where my insufficiency remained stark: the hard stuff, the shapes people post on Instagram.
Finally, I went to an expert: Nahid de Belgeonne, founder of the Good Vibes studio and a specialist in Feldenkrais, a “neuromuscular” method. It’s about making your movements more connected and coherent, understanding your body as an interrelated whole. “How do you do that, though?” I begin, introducing an unwanted 21st-century results-driven energy to the room. “Well, you really have to concentrate,” De Belgeonne says gently. Huh.
Everything is easier, smoother and more natural once your digits are actually pushing into the ground. “You’ve stopped breathing,” De Belgeonne points out. “If you’re not breathing, you’re not doing yoga. You’re just making shapes.”
