. CatMeffan explains why embodied practice is the antidote to our well-scheduled lives:
Meffan came to free movement as part of herjourney after learning that the practice was about so much more than the shapes you make on the mat. “I love the asana practice and I was always very fluid with my teaching,” she says. “We’d almost dance through my flows. Then the more I started to delve into theof yoga and finding out about what yoga was off of the mat, the more I realised that yoga postures aren’t the only way to get in touch with these emotions.
“Rather than living up in our head, which is what we do in many other forms of movement including yoga. We’re always thinking – thinking about moving from sun salutations to balance poses and thinking about how the postures look when we try and achieve a certain form or expression. There’s ego in there,” Meffan explains. “The beauty of free movement is that we’re allowed to let go of what’s happening up there and really feel what’s happening to the body.
She encourages adding on just 2% of extra movement at a time. “It’s never too much to push yourself just 2% more, and if it’s really uncomfortable, it’s easy to revert back from 2%,” she says.
