Yoga is a journey of un-layering that we embark on again and again, each time we peel back another covering of our inner light the process of transformation takes place. It’s shedding the masks we wear to navigate our way in the world and place down the “airs and graces” we often take up to make ourselves feel superior to others. It is becoming who we truly are. More natural. More simple. More real. In this episode you’ll hear Philippa Asher and I peel back the layers of the Ashtanga yoga practice. As two of twenty Certified women who teach this method, we’re talking about unique issues that relate to female practitioners. We explore what it takes to become a Certified teacher? And what are some of the pitfalls, obstacles, and challenges you may encounter along the way. We touch upon the similarities between ballet and Ashtanga yoga, as well as what Philippa’s first trip to Mysore was like. You’ll find out what it was that continued to pull her back again and again, year after year, until she finally moved to India permanently, building a retreat centre in the jungle to host students of her own. After going through eight rounds of IVF and tragically miscarrying twins, Philippa has learned a lot about letting go, as well as when it’s most important to hold on. Philippa reminds listeners that Ashtanga yoga is actually a life choice. A state of being and a state of mind to help guide how you live your life. The practice is about so much more than simply collecting asanas, it includes the integration of all eight limbs into your day-to-day experience. Two years back, Philippa returned to London, England, and you can find her teaching students in person as well as in online classes, workshops, and retreats around the world. “If you want to speed up the process of yoga, slow down.” - Philippa Asher  FIND OUT MORE ABOUT PHILLIPA WEBSITE  I   INSTAGRAM - https://ashtangaphilippa.com/ JOIN THE  INNER CIRCLE MEMBERSHIP TO LISTEN TO BONUS EPISODES!

Un-Layering with Philippa Asher

Philippa Asher is a certified Ashtanga yoga teacher and one of the few female students who has completed the Advanced B series.As impressive as all that is, that’s not really the reason I asked her to come on the Ashtanga Dispatch Podcast. I had read a piece she wrote called Musings About an Ashtanga Asana Practice from 20-something to 40-something. And in there, Philippa talked quite pointedly about challenges and issues of her own - including her own recklessness  as well as fertility issues - and I just was struck by how brave and forthcoming she was with her experience.I can’t tell you how rare it is to chat with someone - especially for the first time - who is willing to be that open and therefore that vulnerable. As you will hear her say, It’s not been an easy ride. And that’s precisely why she does choose to put her self and her story out there - for others who also haven’t had an easy ride.The Ashtanga Dispatch Podcast is edited and produced by Chris Lucas - and hosted by Peg Mulqueen.
