In this month’s blog post Scott looks at how the many different teachers of the lineage of Ashtanga yoga are sharing the practice today while still honouring the many paths of the one practice.
Scott reflects on the importance of keeping a beginner’s mind in order to keep your practice fresh and stay grounded in the present moment.
Scott considers the relationship between yoga and mindfulness, and shares how cultivating moment to moment awareness completely changed his long term yoga practice.
Scott explores how being a father and wanting the best for his family helps him to observe and trust in himself and mimics the growth of his personal spiritual practice. Seeing that this is the hope we perhaps want for our own practice and the world.

After a year of writing the Stillpoint Yoga London blog, Scott shares how this has opened up a new found creativity that he hasn’t touched in decades and how writing stems from practice – yoga practice.
Scott interviews Anthony ‘Prem’ Carlisi about the early days of ashtanga yoga, practising with Guruji, how the practice has changed over the years, dealing with grief and a commitment to keeping the ashtanga research alive.
Scott shares, through one practitioner’s journey, how important our breath can be in making realisations about our yoga practice, and how it can help us to cultivate more kindness both to ourselves and others.
An ashtanga yoga practice can be strong, dynamic and intense. This month Scott shares how to soften the edges of the practice and to perhaps nurture a more gentle side.
Scott talks about how we meet our practice through intention, how this year we can meet our lives the same way and how the anniversary of the death of a loved one at the beginning of the year has turned into a reminder of the power of life.
