Who is shiva rea

Sathya Narayan, I have been integrating the Indian martial art Kalaripayattu into a Kalari Namaskar and vinyasa practice. Not everyone can travel to India to study Kalaripayattu, but I can bring back a form that is accessible.

Then if those who try it want to go deeper, they know where to go. We can consciously evolve a practice. Fifty years from now, the Ganga [the Ganges River] will still be flowing, and pilgrims will still be offering Surya Namaskars in prayer form and in movement.

Yoga will never be a fad. It is part of our universal natural-healing system. Teachers are similarly trained in the USA and around the world in , and hour courses in her Prana Vinyasa yoga, which claims to combine tantra, yoga, and ayurveda.

She has contributed to publications including Yoga Journal and Yoga International. The Los Angeles Times described her as one of "yoga's rock stars". The author and yoga therapist Janice Gates honoured Rea with a chapter of her book Yoginis. Shiva Rea. The basics. It was what her grandparents expected of her — and what she expected of herself — so she applied herself to her studies with as much commitment as she could muster.

I wanted to do it. The California native spent the next decade primarily studying Ashtanga yoga, an energetic and active practice, and developing her personal sense of career calling. The key to that process, she says, is to move beyond rigid ideas about what you should do and what is expected of you, and get in touch with your authentic self — the deep creative consciousness that resides within each of us.

Yoga is just one powerful way to support that kind of personal change, says Rea, who notes that yoga has been profoundly important in helping her through a divorce and a variety of other big life challenges. Today, Rea practices and teaches Prana Flow all over the world. I like to be outside. When it is cold, I will find a sauna, a steam room or get on a stationary bike and get my circulation going.

I have more of an ayurvedic orientation to nutrition. I eat more raw foods in the hot seasons, like more cooling fruits in the summer. When we get into the winter, we will make more soups, stews and cooked warm fruit, like apples and pears and warm spices. Yes, I have ancestral needs for goat cheese.
