Lately, I have found it difficult to practice alone.
Nothing dramatic, just a quiet distance from the rhythm of practice.
This weekend reminded me, in a very simple way, why we gather. Not to perform. Not to prove anything. But to sit, breathe, chant, move, listen and simply be together.
Education is freedom. And since I love freedom, I went to ’s workshop in Prague: "The Practice of Presence", with Yoga Sangraha, pranayama, mantra chanting and concentration through the Yoga Sutras.
Open, curious and ready to meet the practice again.
Three days passed almost like three hours. But something stayed.
New information, yes.
New answers, yes.
But more than that, a different quality of attention.
What moved me the most was being in the presence of someone who has spent decades with yoga and now speaks from what has remained essential.
No need to impress.
No need to make yoga sound mysterious.
He spoke about breath, the nervous system, daily practice, attention, presence, mantra and the body in a way that felt clear and usable. Complex things became simple, without losing their depth.
Yoga was not reduced to biology.
And it was not lifted into abstraction either.
It stayed close to life.
On the mat, I felt a deep but firm gentleness. A reminder that depth does not always come from intensity.
Sometimes it comes from simplicity.
From steadiness.
From breath.
From attention.
From staying.
And yes, his voice . Like a quiet place to land.
Still processing all of it.
I left with a deeper respect for simplicity and with a quiet wish to keep learning from .
And thank you 🙏🏻🤍 for being there. Sharing this experience together made it even more meaningful. It would not have been the same without you.
P.S. Yoga Sangraha means "a collection" or "a compendium" of yoga practices. Rooted in Indian yoga traditions, yoga texts and the current understanding of the body and nervous system, it felt to me like a practice that reconnects us through breath, movement, attention and presence.
