Yoga with Mark

My name is Mark Allcock.  I qualified as a British Wheel of Yoga teacher in 2008.  I have been doing yoga for over 25 years.  However, since 2004 I have been a student of Diane Long.  I hold regular classes in Moreton, Dorset and provide private tuition to groups and individuals.

The Song of the Body

‘There is a way of doing yoga poses (asanas) without the slightest effort.  Movement is the song of the body. Yes, the body has its own song from with the movement of dancing arises spontaneously.  In other words, the liberation of the upper part of the body (the head, neck, arms, shoulders, and trunk) produced by the acceptance of gravity in the lower part of the body (hips,legs, knees, and feet) is the origin of lightness, and dancing is its expression.  This song, if you care to listen to it, is beauty.  We could say that is is part of nature.  We sing when we are happy and the body goes with it like waves in the sea.’
