consequence of further inquiry into the yoga experience from author
John Stirk. Following on from The Original Body this book invites
an even deeper immersion into the reality of practice and the
totality of personal experience in accessing the power of our inner
teacher. As the theme of this book unfolds the reader is invited
towards a sensory understanding leading to profound insight.
Teachers using this book will be able to share with their students
the clarity, mental space and basic wisdom that emerges as a result
of their awakening physiology. We may frequently acknowledge that
we are there with the group. Experience may tell us that
'there-ness' is not fixed, that it is based on an unknown element
upon which all creativity is founded. Deeper Still goes beyond
current experience and invites teachers to write their own story,
develop their own script, ride the uncatchable wave that might be
called yoga, and open up creativity to the next level. Deeper Still

The soft tissue, skeletal, fluid and spatial sensations experienced
in practice are considered in sequence and collectively as the

lies beyond practice. Yoga teachers are shown how to use a deeper
'feeling' to unveil an innate powerful physical wisdom. This
includes bringing together anatomical visualisation and
imagination, the development of awareness as a movement, and the
management of sensation. This book focuses on honing and harnessing
the practitioner's essential experience in order reveal a more
profound style of teaching from within. Teachers are invited to
consider the impediments to a deeper practice and will be taken
through the common factors inhibiting sensory pathways. These
include conditioning, habit, trauma, anxiety, non-essential thought
and the effect of technique and methodology in teaching. Teachers
will learn about the principles of mechanical freedom in postures
and movement and they will find out about the parallels and
differences between yoga practice and the osteopathic approach to
bio mechanics.The Original Body invites the reader to put aside
Sanskrit terminology and well - trodden paths and dig deeply into
themselves and discover the unconditioned body at its deepest
level. This book supports its reader through the understanding that
group work thrives on their inspiration. This book inspires and
provides an essential addition to the library of all teachers of
yoga, movement and bodywork.
