I have been practicing Ashtanga yoga for the last 15 years under the supervision of Matt Ryan, I attend Yoga Manchester classes on a weekly basis. I have felt a real transformation in my yoga practice over the last two years, since committing to a daily home practice and the monthly Mysore classes with Yoga Manchester.Sapphire Raydon-Rennie The Yoga Teacher I've been a student at Kino and Tim's workshops before, only when they've been operating as separate entities though, this time it was lovely to see them working together as a couple. They are both really warm people and even with their yoga 'celebrity' status there's no need to feel intimidated. After-all, being told what to do with your anus on a Friday evening is certainly going to break the ice! There were lots of wide grins at the sign-in desk - it was clear students were really excited to be there and as a teacher that makes me excited too! It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to assist Kino and Tim during the led classes, and to observe so many students practicing - shuffling the hands-width distance between the mats was certainly a test of my spacial awareness! When talking about the practice Kino and Tim skilfully balance years of dedication and respect for the Ashtanga method with a good sense of humour. While there's a thirst for technical instruction on the more challenging postures they offer consistent reminders to remain equanimous ('equanimity' was the word of the weekend with 'anus' following closely behind!) and stay on track with the focus of the practice - stay present. During the Q&A Kino and Tim kept their answers grounded in reality while still referencing philosophical concepts and relevant texts, they weave philosophy into real life choices and experiences very well - rather than it being a subject that remains distant or separated from the practice and our lives. It was nice to see nods of agreement when Kino steered a question about what she eats into making ethical food choices and thinking about the impact that we as consumers have on the world. I've done a reasonable amount of study over the years with some top teachers (although in the context of yoga study this constitutes a tiny, tiny tip of the iceberg). This includes a number of weekend workshops of a similar format, but I always learn something valuable - whether it's a reminder about the fundamentals of the practice (which we all need from time to time!) or a new technique/point of view that I can use in my own practice or apply to teaching. After all a yoga teacher will always remain a yoga student. Kino, Tim and their assistant Carmen brought a bit of Miami (and European) sunshine into the Gita Bhavan temple that weekend and I think we all took some of it away with us! I had three classes to teach after the workshop, I should have been shattered, but it's testament to the enthusiasm of them, the students and the Yoga Manchester Team that I was raring to go!
