Got back a week ago from a trip to Portland to study with my teacher, Matt Huish. The work he is doing is amazing. He combines traditional asana with some pretty esoteric energy work, based on opening the energetic channels in the body. Movement is united with mudra in this work, and it is a powerful combination. The tantric element in the practice is also very present, in that the focus is on working with the ‘macro’ in order to work the ‘micro.’ Matt says it best: “Tantra is liberation through expansion. This means that everything within our life is a part of our practice. We practice to liberate all of the 5 elements in our life to realize that earth and heaven are no different. All is the expression of God.”
Matt is now able to initiate others into a tradition of tantric practice called Sri Vidya, so my own tantric practice now takes on a much deeper level. It is exciting to me to bring this work home, both for myself and in my work with my horses.
