"Although a deep purging discharges most of the archaic hurt and rage, the residue can never completely be swept clear. But it should leave a very light ash, not a hungry fire.”
Clarrisa Pinkola Estes
Amy Kokoszka
Amy has been a student and teacher of yoga for 25 years. Her latest work delves into a deep exploration of women's studies through a socratic; discussions of women’s history, health and wisdom, and somatic: utilising and moving the masterpiece (the body) as it was intended, using it to guide and release, harnessing your capacity at any age.
“stand barefoot on the earth…
this is who I am…
this is how I stand on the earth"
“The beauty myth is always actually prescribing behaviour and not appearance.”
Naomi Wolf
The female wolf uses her intuition to lead the entire pack. If the lead male wolf were to get up and walk east and she did not follow, none of the pack would move. They wait for her sign.
I love the 'she' wolf. I love that she trusts deep intuition. I feel close to this animal. I love my imagination of her senses. I love the stories I've heard of her. I love how 'she' wolf inspires my story.
Yoga is one of the vehicles I ride to use my imagination. To fully express and therefore to love myself. Classically trained, yes, but as an individual soul contributing to this human existence. I have my way, as do you, as you have your story, your senses, and intuition.
If your story feels clouded, blocked, or needing inspiration then I am here to work with you, whether that be through yoga asana or heart-provoking practices.
Join me on retreat, in a yoga class, on a beach, in a sauna, come and share your story with me, and allow me to help you move, rooted, into your body, and your vision.
"The body is the rocket launcher for the soul." – C.P.E. It is indeed made of magic and magic it can make.
