Happy Qixi 七夕!

The deepest intimacy is perhaps — choosing, again and again, to show up and breathe together. To my favourite practice partner.

核心與扭轉 ✶ 感知平行氣
Ishana & Syrena 2026 秋季線上課程

解放呼吸的空間
按摩腹腔與器官
促進脊椎的健康

在瑜伽的能量觀裡，肚臍周圍住著「平行氣」（Samana Vayu）── 一股向中心收攝的力量，掌管消化、吸收與轉化。我們吃進去的食物、經歷過的情緒、接收到的一切，都要靠它來消化、篩選、化為己用。

扭轉，幫助我們觸及這股風息。

從核心出發的扭轉，為呼吸讓出空間，也在擠壓與釋放之間按摩腹腔裡的器官，使消化之火重新被點亮；而脊椎，也在這樣的來回中找回靈活與健康循環。

來自內在的指引 ✹ 拜日式深度工作坊

在這次的工作坊中，我們將藉由 samasthiti 探尋平衡、中立，也透過一一解析拜日式中的體式，認識慣性和印記的拉扯，同時學習如何讓這些拉扯成為行動的指引，進而運用於各類體式和練習當中，減輕對於背誦或是口令的依賴。

透過與同學互相練習操作手調整，能夠幫助專注學習、看見常見問題，並且實際建立身體體驗。即便是分組練習，仍然會有清楚的示範與口令引導，沒有相關經驗者也能夠參與。

這門工作坊適合初學者、希望培養自主練習能力，以及對於練習感到困惑的練習者。

Who knew my first time in Ohio would be for Doug’s workshop?

I really can’t recommend Doug enough. Every time I get to study with him, I feel so lucky. He has influenced both my practice and my teaching in so many ways.

I’m also really glad I got to introduce him and Chuck to each other. Chuck attended the entire three-day workshop and enjoyed it a lot.

Doug travels around the U.S., Taiwan, and Europe to teach. If you ever get the chance to study with him, I highly recommend it. And be sure to keep an eye on his schedule at doyoga.com!

The Therapeutic Wisdom of Yoga with Doug Keller

Recent thoughts on practice… （中文在下方）

Hearing so many questions from students in each class, I am amazed by how quickly we expect ourselves to “learn” yoga. Many of us expect ourselves to just “get there” — to achieve certain “poses” in a very short time.

Adho Mukha Svanasana / Downward Facing Dog is such a complicated and rich practice, yet we want to simply “do” it the moment the teacher calls out its name in the first class we attend. Like Prashant Iyengar said: “Stop doing yoga.” Indeed, there is nothing to be done, but there is always somewhere to begin and access the practice.

The way yoga and asana practice can be liberating and empowering is only when we see asanas as practices. We can feel grateful that there are so many things for us to explore and learn through yoga. In contrast, if we see them as shapes to achieve or become, we will always feel like we are not enough.

We all have to start from where we are, with what is available and what works for us. Sometimes we are too casual and want things to progress too quickly, and in doing so we miss the point of “practice.” Yet at other times, we become too harsh on ourselves. Learning how to repeatedly adjust ourselves without beating ourselves up is a kind of wisdom, and is SAMA.

Gradually, we cultivate ahimsa, compassion, and love towards ourselves and others through practices that are not defined by achievement and have no need for self-criticism or comparison.

最近一些關於練習的想法……

每一堂課聽到同學們提出那麼多問題，我總是驚訝於，我們竟然期待自己能夠很快「學會瑜伽」。很多人期待自己能夠立刻「抵達」、在很短的時間內「完成體式」。

Adho Mukha Svanasana／下犬式是一個如此複雜且豐富的練習，但我們卻希望在第一次上課、老師喊出它名字的那一刻，就能直接「做出來」。就像 Prashant Iyengar 所說的：「停止做瑜伽吧。」的確，並沒有什麼東西要被「做完」，但總有我們可以開始和切入練習的地方。

如果說瑜伽與體位法練習能夠帶來解放與賦權，是因為我們把體式視為「練習」。我們可以感謝瑜伽中有如此多值得探索與學習的事物；相反地，如果我們把體式視為某種需要達到、成為的形狀，就會一直感覺不足與匱乏。

我們都必須從自己所在的地方開始，從那些對自己而言可行、有用的方式開始。有時候，我們太過隨便，想讓事情進展得太快，因此錯過了「練習」真正的意義；但有些時候，我們又對自己太過苛刻。學會反覆調整，又不責怪自己，是一種智慧，也是 SAMA。

逐漸我們透過那些不以成就定義、也不需要自我批判或比較的練習，培養 Ahimsa／不傷害，培養對自己與他人的慈悲心與愛。

Syrena and I are coming to South America! 🌞
Syrena Yoga

We’ll be offering my 5-day Sama-Ashtanga Yoga Intensive format, but for the first time we’ll be teaching more as a team.

Syrena has been assisting me in workshops across Europe and Asia and students love it! Having her working hands-on while I guide with my voice creates a really nice dynamic.

It’s also very nice to have a different perspective to broaden the teaching. I think everyone who has met her can feel that too.

For the first time in Chile.

Chuck and Syrena Miller will share five days of practice, philosophy, and deep investigation into Ashtanga Yoga in the heart of the southern Chilean wilderness.

With more than 55 years of practice and over four decades teaching around the world, Chuck Miller belongs to a generation of teachers who received the teachings of Sri T. Krishnamacharya and Sri K. Pattabhi Jois through decades of practice, study, and close association since the 1980s.

His presence in the room transmits a knowledge that does not arise merely from technique or the external form of yoga, but from a living and direct understanding of the traditional Ashtanga Yoga lineage.

A rare form of knowledge in these times, where much of the practice has been absorbed by superficiality, image, and the distortions of ego.

To practice with a teacher of this depth and trajectory is to come into contact with a teaching that points toward the essential:

the observation of the Self,
the dissolution of illusion,
and the recognition of Ātma — the true nature of the soul.

Alongside him will be Syrena Lin-Miller, who has accompanied and taught with him throughout many countries around the world, bringing sensitivity, depth, and a profoundly human quality that supports and enriches the experience of learning.

This gathering is not intended merely to teach a physical practice.

It is an invitation to enter a doorway toward a deeper and transformative knowledge — one that is becoming increasingly rare to encounter.
