Increasing Mindfulness Through Livestreaming
In the world of modern physical yoga, streaming awareness has become a cornerstone of practice for many enthusiasts. This continuous, effortless flow of present-moment awareness integrates body, breath, and mind, creating a harmonious union during yoga sessions.
George Anthony, the director of Sajeeva Yoga School, is a renowned figure in this movement. As a yoga teacher, modern mystic, musician, artist, acrobat, acroyogi, cook, handstand master, and philosopher, he travels the globe training teachers in the art of streaming awareness. His classes emphasise the spiritual aspects of yoga, encouraging students to find themselves as the observer of their lives, not the actor.
The practice of streaming awareness is rooted in embodying present-moment awareness. This involves focusing on sensing what one feels physically and mentally in the moment, allowing sensations to arise without judgment or mental interference. This deepens sensitivity and self-regulation during asana practice.
Streaming awareness aligns with the yogic concept of Dhyana, where concentration becomes an uninterrupted, effortless flow rather than a strained focus on a single object. This is a state of meditative absorption or continuous awareness that occurs naturally when the mind is calmed and unified with breath and movement.
Modern yoga culture increasingly recognises the importance of pacing practices to respect individual differences and avoid pressure to conform to uniform progressions. This means allowing choice and self-direction in the flow of practice so awareness can remain fluid and responsive rather than forced or habitual.
The connection of body, breath, and mind is at the heart of streaming awareness in yoga. This is built on the traditional concept of yoga as union (yuj), linking body, mind, breath, soul, and universal consciousness. The synchronized flow of asana, pranayama, and mindful observation cultivates this unity and ongoing awareness.
Emerging tools using AI and sensors aim to personalise yoga flow and awareness by providing real-time feedback on posture and breath, supporting sustained engagement and awareness in modern practice.
However, the modernisation of yoga has brought about several problems, including the globalisation of yoga and its commercialisation. Those who criticise yoga teachers for making classes like a fitness regime or ego show should promote ideas that emphasise the spiritual aspects of yoga.
If the mind is agitated, the stream of awareness might slip and skip around. But with practice, streaming awareness can be easily noticed and sustained. George Anthony enjoys sharing good energy with all people, making his classes a welcoming space for those seeking to deepen their yoga practice and cultivate a continuous, gentle, and inclusive mindfulness.
