TO FIND STILLNESS: More & more Ive begun to take time to explore my own relationship between breath, stillness & continuity. Transferring that connection to everyday living has been another pull for me. This includes noticing & working through attachments - this is continuous,...finding non judgment and love of self. In short it is the reconnecting of my relationship to myself. This shot is taken from a recording of my practice which is a combination of 30 years of disciplines - Contemporary Dance, Pilates, Stretch & Yoga. Even a year ago I would make excuses that I didnt practice today & I only stretched. However, on this particular day this footage was my practice, to stretch & find breath in every bit of length with continuous connection throughout. Its a strong discipline which takes courage & focus,.....some stretches more than others. Not many of the position were extreme stretches yet they all required tremendous ongoing strength. Earlier in the week before I filmed this clip of my practice I dreamt of a conversation between myself, Michelle Freeman & Santina Giardina-Chard,....the conversation emphasised the slowing down of the breath. This was the depth & breadth of the conversation. Each stretch/posture/exercise was held until I slowed my & heart rate to the point I found the space between each inhale & exhale. Cudos to Lindy Storee Smith who has been my more recent inspiration in yoga, in creativity & connection. Thank You x HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone I know.......I look forward to seeing you all in the stillness.......
