Easing Into Practice: Deep Inquiry Yoga

By Kim Beyer

There comes a time in every Hatha Yoga practitioner's life when he or she perceives that the physical stretch transitions into an invitation to explore something more. We notice that each time we come to the mat, the conditions of the environment, our emotions and thoughts, even the social, financial, and relational energies are completely different, although sometimes on a very subtle level. The truth is, we are different each time we practice, and each practice, in turn, changes us. This is just one facet of the "more" we will be exploring in this book.I will provide a few suggestions about how to work with this ancient and beautiful art called Hatha Yoga. Deep Inquiry Yoga is a collection of simple practices to apply within the stable and easeful asana, an invitation to the body, breath, mind, intuitive/wisdom self and a taste of joy to simmer together. That simmering cooks you, so you might become an even more fragrant and nourishing dish for yourself and others. Some of the work between these pages can be done as a small appetizer in a studio classroom or can be used as the central offering of a retreat or during a home meditation time. As always, begin with the practice that is most calling you on a given day-this choice honors the budding intuitive wisdom that is one of the great fruits of a Hatha Yoga practice. That intuitive self is the foundation for a discipline free of studios, teachers and outer lessons and expectations. For each student, there is a shape and sequence for Hatha Yoga-you, and Mystery's grace, will one day be your very best teacher.Twenty-five years of sharing the techniques in yoga studio, hospital, college and university and community education centers back up these practices. Most are incredibly fresh to me each time I use them on my own mat or teach to others. All are appropriate for beginners. Rest assured, they are time tested friends of mine.
