Some years ago my teacher Karel Koskuba told me to practice slowly and to notice the feelings in my body – needless to say I understood the words – but crucially not the meaning – I did not truly understand.
So I am delighted that now I think I do – in a sort of “ah so that is what he meant” sort of way.
Consequently I am encouraging my students to look for opportunities to sink and to stretch in a slow and very relaxed way.
