It reveals the primal ways in which intimacy and violence can blend in relationships between teachers and students. This was one of the key factors that permitted Jois's assaults, and inhibited his victims from resisting them. Tracy Hodgeman, who describes Jois assaulting her in Mysore in 1997 (p. 79), told me that her Seattle community used to metabolize the pervasive injuries caused by Ashtanga yoga with a joke: "Do your practice, and all is coming APART! " For different reasons than those of victims, many interviewees who witnessed Jois's assaults struggled with questions of how much to say, whether to say it openly, whether to go on record, whether I was the right person to talk to, and whether my motivations were safe or positive or productive. The healing potential of this book lies in an equal two parts–one part admission and revelation and one part evolution–the demand for evolution in order to nurture healing and recovery toward ending abuse, coercion, violence, injury, and deceptive manipulation in yoga. Maybe I'll master it in another four years, maybe I won't. Author of Yoga From the Inside Out: Making Peace with Your Body Through Yoga, My Body is a Temple: Yoga as a Path to Wholeness, and A Deeper Yoga: Beyond Body Image to Freedom. I was never a member of Shambhala, but my recruitment into a similar high-demand neo-Tibetan Buddhist group in the late 1990s gives me solid background for this work. This book should be required reading for every yoga teacher training. His book is unique, as it provides a significant amount of hard-hitting personal stories and facts while simultaneously being infused with sensitivity and an awareness of the impact these can have on those reading the book who have been through trauma.
In response to these voices, he goes on to construct a research-grounded framework that elevates safety and inclusivity. It is like watching the sunrise and trying to analyse the movement of the sun and his colours. The title of this book reclaims. Alison Ulan in Montreal, who studied under Jois personally and has taught the method since the mid-1990s, never received formal authorization to do so. "Starting with the first principle of yoga which is non-harming (ahimsa), and applying the clear seeing of meditation (dhyana), Remski offers us a framework for understanding how confusion and messiness around lineage and power has led to so much pain and suffering inside the world of yoga. Rain remembers brushing the questions aside. There is nothing wrong if you are trying to understand the Chakras, the Yamas and Niyamas and see how it can be a part of the practice. Pattabhi Jois used to quote from the Bhagavad Gita to us. It has made me a better advisor and investor. She does it, however, by conflating that portion of the Ashtanga world that abused and enabled abuse with the. Seminal work on abuse and fraud in Yoga communities in USA, Canada and worldwide.
Of immense value to both practitioners and academics, the text centers the voices of the female victims of serial abuser Pattabhi Jois and illuminates the wider psychoanalytic and structural conditions that enabled such abuse. The clearest way of describing this insidership — this continued dedication to practice — is to say that I've bumped my focus outward from yoga as self-regulation to yoga as social dharma. There was a time when I, like many others, wanted to believe that yoga spaces by definition were safe spaces, and that a good student should interpret the offenses of yoga masters (often rationalized as. I received so many long, very personal emails telling incredible stories of pain, injury, confusion, and long journeys of healing. Today after the workshop I spoke to one of the teachers feeling frustrated about this lack of progress and looking for the quick fix secret to it all. Today has been a great reminder of why I need my practice and what it gives to me.
In my view, these are epidemic within the culture, and there's little use in pointing fingers and potentially ruining individual careers through hearsay. In time I learned that writing about physical yoga injuries can be a way of avoiding looking directly at the moral and spiritual injuries people suffer within the culture. This is an understandable omission in a discipline that studies the history of yoga instead of patterns of intergenerational violence. My intention is for this first book to serve as a case study for how abuse is enabled, covered up, disclosed, dealt with, and perhaps healed in yoga culture. More strangely, at a certain point I realized that I wanted to feel that pain for some reason. Through dogged investigative work, careful listening to survivor stories of assault and abuse, and close analysis of the cultic mechanisms at play in the sphere of Pattabhi Jois's Ashtanga community, Matthew Remski's Practice and All Is Coming offers a sober view into a collective and intergenerational trauma. It spotlights perpetually conflicted views of the body caught between transcendence and acceptance. To encourage better alignment/prevent injury? Publish Date:||March 14 2019|. So here the backstory in short form: over many years, I collected numerous contexts for yoga injury. As senior Jois disciples began to grapple with increasing public awareness of Jois's assaults in the winter of 2017–2018, several released statements of deep regret, but only partial acknowledgment and limited accountability. This brings up all kinds of subtleties in the field of change management, highlights the tensions between disciplined and spontaneous learning, and shows devotion and disillusionment to be two sides of the same developmental coin.
It will cover how the abuse was hidden from members implicitly, through the idealization of Jois as. I've been teaching asana since 2002. He's not one for groups. Among them are those who have struggled to put out the cultic fire within themselves, as well as those who were only barely singed. ISBN-13:||9780473472078|. The truth really is PRACTICE AND YOU WILL REALISE YOU ALREADY HAVE IT ALL. Delivery/Collection within 10-20 working days. I'll be there not as a specialist in sexual violence or trauma, but as a researcher and activist with ideas about how yoga service providers can avoid unintentionally passing along unresolved abuse histories. The solution to yoga injury was always more yoga. What Are We Actually Doing in Asana? I think Matthew has opened a window that casts light onto a history of sexual abuses that cannot withstand the steady gaze he brings to it. And the beating was unbearable, that's how it was. How do you un-silence a silencing phrase?
Matthew Remski reminds us of this when he writes, "of the many things yoga practice is, it is a delivery device for relationship patterns. " Instead of taking instruction from a teacher in the front, each student has memorized a series of postures and practices independently in a group setting. The practice is performed early in the morning, often before sunrise. On that note, I'm happy to say that all of this heavy research seams to be bending towards justice.
Then I explored the meaning in my body by, well, practicing. Rather, we'll focus on impacts by peering into the gap between what was said and believed about Jois and his method, and the reality of what was experienced. I said to him: "You do some pretty extreme postures. While Mathew Remski is the courageous, insightful, and compassionate author of this informative, challenging, and thought-provoking book, this book is clearly a group effort. Interviews with older Jois students indicated that this mystical anti-intellectualism was often attractive to many of the college-graduated-and-dropped-out yoga seekers of the late hippie era. ²² The medieval traditions that inspired this modern movement were renowned for eschewing bookishness in favor of the experiential and mystic. One senior Jois student who wanted to remain off-record said it succinctly: Jois physically assaulted the men and sexually assaulted the women.
The struggle and resilience of the interviewees make for an intense and powerful read. I filmed myself working on karandavasana the other day. I noted trends of socialization towards pushing and attaining that play on widespread fears of inadequacy. First came the endlessly rich conversations I had with my wife Alix, also a yoga teacher, at our kitchen table while she was pregnant with our son. Insiders, outsiders, and scholars of all persuasions can argue ad nauseam whether. It's a conscious effort to direct our attention internally, step back, and look within ourselves. This literature scaled the interpersonal deception experienced by women like T. upwards into a form of propaganda. It at the superficial level means "keep practicing the asanas and pranayama. People who still identify with Jois's spiritual mastery have a much harder time.
How do we deal with money and practicalities of business while remaining steadfast in our personal integrity, rooted in our personal practice? In fact, I can't remember anyone describing an injury-free experience in asana. I give thanks that his moral compass guided him to reveal a crucial issue at the heart of modern yoga, and I hope that everyone who has ever shown up to a yoga class reads this book. Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, Ph. The reporting will track how the globalized, d now-instantly-connected, and diverse Ashtanga network has responded to the abuse revelations in both defensive and progressive ways.

' Always seeking the quickest way to what I want. I've toned down the crusade in order to plumb the narrative richness of the dynamics of injury, not with the illusion that it can be eliminated, but to better understand the shifting meanings we give to pain.
It's about becoming a better version of myself by making incremental progress every day. Like Jivana Heyman of Accessible Yoga, who invited me to give this closing keynote speech in June at their first Canadian conference in June.
