Slow Flow Yoga
Slow Flow YogaYoga is an ancient technique for achieving physical fitness, moral excellence, and the deepest form of self awareness. Its aim is to liberate us from suffering and bondage. It frees us from the dread and anxiety which spring from ignorance; it is not dogmatic or authoritarian, and its practice dignifies life. Portia Brockway’s Slow Flow Yoga for the Mature of all ages is taught in vinyasa form, where movement originates and completes itself with the cycle of the breath. The practice offers modifications for varying levels of flexibility and strength, and all poses are performed seated, prone or supine. Long-time Yoga instructor Portia Brockway is aware of how the body can change over time into a state of slow grace when nurtured through the age-appropriate practice of yoga. Her teaching reflects years of observation of her own body and those of her many students.
How It All Came To PassIn August of 2006, our niece, Portia Brockway of Yoga in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA, sent us a couple of instructional CDs she had recorded for her clients interested in pursuing yoga. She expressed interest in developing some DVDs on the subject, and I, as a retired academic surgeon with a growing interest in creating instructional documentary videos, took the bait. So, with my creative son-in-law Drew Sauer of Ann Arbor, MI, we traveled to Cape Cod and Cambridge, MA in October, 2006, where we, along with Ethan Goldhammer of CCTV, Cambridge, assisted Portia in filming 27 hours of sunrises, sunsets, moonlight, fireplace and candle flames, ocean waves, and 5 different yoga sessions. And we threw in a delightful interview between Drew and Portia. Thus The Winds of Grace Collection was born. In this Collection, including Pre-and Postnatal Yoga with Portia Brockway, a 2 DVD set; Slow Flow Yoga for the Mature; and From the Unreal to the Real, you will see and hear the results of these labors. Portia has served as the Director and Co-Producer of this project. Her father, Ralph Brockway of Baltimore, who has practiced yoga for 50 years, along with Drew, have served as artistic consultants. And I, as Co-Producer, have been very happy to be a part of this exciting adventure. Enjoy! Robert W. Barnes Join our mailing list Want to email us or write a review?
