There are some wonderful teachers from very diverse backgrounds that have had the privilege of working with Vanda directly, and I will forever be grateful for the numerous opportunities I have had to work directly with many of them. Vanda Scaravelli wrote a truly beautiful book titled “Awakening the Spine” that talks of the ‘song of the body’ and makes you want to drop everything and start listening to the breath. If you haven't done so already, I strongly urge you to read it.
Our work in yoga," Scaravelli says, "is to undo the tension. Undo, not do." She believes that the body is full of "mystery and adventure". And my personal experience is that if you continue to truly apply the the most basic of principles to your practise (gravity, freedom to breathe, growth through release), the mystery continues to reveal itself and the adventure forever deepens.
Vanda Scaravelli has started a revolution. She
has been the catalyst for yoga teachers all over the world, to step out
of the role of 'instructor', and step into the business of informing and
inspiring people, so that they have the understanding and authority to explore
this adventure called yoga practise for themselves.
