Developing a SuperYoga Practice
It is now generally acknowledged that a modern yoga practice that is focused solely on asana (postures and sequences) is not the whole story/ Such practice is insufficient in itself to deliver the full promise of yoga’s rich psycho-physical benefits, but can be a good starting point to enjoy the much-promised peace of mind, contentment, physical vitality and well-being that a good yoga practice can deliver. Increasingly people are turning to mindfulness and meditation practices to obtain better results from their mind-body maintenance and development practice time, or for personal health reasons.
However, there are few teachers or systems that can bring the physical and psychological aspects of yoga together in a coherent and accessible manner. The Superyoga practice system will help you achieve a genuine and full yoga practice – beyond the shallow paths of repetitive physical exertion and mystical incantations that have diluted and mystified what is essentially one of humankinds’ best evolutionary social inventions, a sacred way of living that can free us from suffering in a world of material desire, relationship complexity and future uncertainty.
Putting yourself in the SuperYoga Wisdom Stream
When you subscribe to the SuperYoga Wisdom Stream, each month you will receive unique material on fundamental aspects of a complete hatha yoga practice.

March 2020 Covid-19 Implications
I never planned to launch this during the Covid-19 pandemic that has left us all isolated in our homes for the present time. Global events have now truly impacted all our individual lives at a time when other global challenges face us all collectively. From the misfortune, disaster and tragedies of the conflict, war and inequality that is currently gripping billions of us, through the environmental crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, and now to the loneliness, isolation and emptiness of busy, competitive material life suspended in the Coronavirus lock down, the world has reached a pendulum turning point of alienation. Separated, atomized and isolated from each other, from nature but most of all … from our selves.
I am offering you an inner journey in which each one of us has a possibility of positive transformation to make us whole again. It is the inner journey of self discovery that is negated by material living in an urban or suburban setting, far away from wild nature. Now locked down in our home space, every one of us can feel the global suffering of humanity, other species and nature a little more at these times, and it seems it will be the sentiments of kindness and compassion – not speed and greed - that will see us through these changing times. With such feelings we become more social, and a caring society in which we will all be at peace with our selves, each other and the planet is in plain sight for those who see the best of human potential in us all. Now you have time and reason to make this inner journey - a chance to do improve yourself physically and mentally through expertly guided tuition of genuine breath control, mindfulness and meditation practices.
In this slowing down of our lives, I hope you will find this Superyoga programme (or my torus flow MMM system) useful to help you look after yourself, and to care for others. In either system you can learn a physical. mental and emotional self-maintenance skill-set that was never taught to us in school or by our parents. Up to now it may have been something many of us try and put together bits and pieces to do here and there as we become adults, and these days many of us search for healthy activities that suit who we are, but often need the social group energy to keep us motivated to be regular. Practicing at home by yourself or with family is the fundamental practice we need to do daily anyway, just as you eat sleep and brush your teeth. In this lock-down phase of the Covid-19 crisis, I will be offering a special set of online sessions to support your learning and personal practice so you don’t have to make the journey alone.
Please see my Easter Covid 19 Ressurection Message to all who are doing home practice!
