Interview With Nuria Reed

Madisyn Taylor: Your beautiful yoga videos were filmed at the beach. Tell us about the experience of practicing yoga on the beach and why you enjoy it.

Nuria Reed: Practicing yoga on the beach is pure magic! It's wild, elemental -- and not all that great for precise alignment techniques! When I am filming or practicing on the beach I have to let go of my attachment to perfection, my ideals of form and alignment. Instead, I let the intuitive rhythm of my body merge with the rhythm of the ocean and tap into the heart of yoga -- which is really about union with Mother Nature and your own wild nature within. It's very much an "inside out" rather than an "outside in" process. The experience of filming on the beach forced me to do just that -- to let go of a lot of my outer attachments and release my desire for perfection (as a recovering perfectionist this is hard!).

MT: Can students enjoy this course at home and have a beautiful experience too?

NR: Yes, definitely! You do not need to practice on the beach to experience the true heart of yoga. You can practice this same kind of letting go of expectations, attachment to external perfection, and connect with your breath and your body and the greater rhythms of life right in your home -- or wherever you choose to practice. There are actually source texts of yoga that give us very clear instructions as to where yoga should be practiced and what the environment should be like. In particular, one of the instructions is actually "free from sand." A beach does not meet this criterion! With that knowledge, practicing at home or in a quiet environment with a flat, even floor is really ideal according to the sages.

MT: What type of yoga do you teach in this course and how is it set up?

NR: I teach Vinyasa flow yoga in the lineage of the great yoga master Krishnamacharya. Vinyasa flow is characterized by a sequence of poses linked by the breath. I have been studying and practicing this type of yoga for over 20 years and as a result of this, my style has evolved into a creative and fluid practice with an emphasis on the breath. Breath is everything! This 10-day course is designed to flow like the natural rhythm of nature, with a focus on moving slowly and mindfully. I call my style of yoga "slow flow," because it really emphasizes moving deeply, slowly, and effortlessly -- holding each yoga pose longer. It's very restorative and healing for your entire body and your mind -- and great for beginners who are new to yoga. Each lesson includes a video with a full yoga routine and there are also helpful photos and tips.

MT: Please tell us about how this course flows throughout the days.

NR: Each one of the 10 lessons and videos naturally builds into the next one so that by the end of the course you have a solid yoga practice that you can build upon, whether by combining your favorite poses or practicing certain standalone poses for a deeper experience. Additionally, the lessons are organized by sections of the body: hips, core, back, chest. So, there's really an opportunity to go deep in the body, but in a slow, gentle way.

MT: Who should take this course?

NR: This course is designed for someone who is curious to go deeper into the study and mystery of yoga. It is not for someone who is looking for just fit abs (although that will happen), but rather for the person looking to transform their mind/body/spirit. In terms of physical ability, it would be good to have some general knowledge of basic poses and be in average physical condition. This course is great for beginners, but I would also say it's for all levels. Even though the yoga poses may appear to be easy or basic, you can definitely intensify the pose by holding it for longer and going deeper.

MT: By the end of the course, what changes can students expect in mind, body, and spirit?

NR: Expect to feel transformed. On a physical level, through the practice of yoga, your entire body gets to lengthen, strengthen, stretch, and release all that tightness that you hold onto in your body. All very beneficial for the many systems of the body. Taking time with each exercise to focus, improve on your form, and open up your body are amazing ways to really take your body to the next level -- you will feel the strength at your core as you move through each day with confidence. On a mental level, there is a change that happens too. Most people these days have trouble concentrating; they can think a lot of thoughts but cannot focus on one thing. Through the process of Vinyasa flow yoga, the mind becomes focused on the breath -- this is very meditative. Better concentration leads to a quieter mind, and a quieter mind leads to inner peace. It's really simple. Focus on the breath and you will always be in the present moment.
