We keep going in June.  Swipe several times to access discounted access of previous sessions.
 JOM is a slang we use back in Malaysia, loosely translating to “let’s”. A casual, energetic and friendly invitation used among friends, colleagues, and family to prompt shared activities, often embodying a sense of camaraderie and spontaneous fun.

That’s the tone of this space, Joy of Moving — what came to me right away before I even thought about the practice I’ll be sharing. This feeling we begin and leave with. An ease of gathering and moving together.

May has been a great first month. Hope to see you in one of these June sessions.

Joy of Moving (JOM)
Mondays in June — 6pm UK time Online (Zoom) Pay what you can

Interscalar.

The way space expands
from finite body to infinite galaxy.

What once felt immense becomes trivial.
What once felt small turns pivotal.

Priorities, perceptions and proportions
materialising and dissolving wherever presence drifts.

Nothing becoming everything,
then dissolving into nothing.
 Again and again.

Brothers by the water.

Jumped into the water for the first time alongside @luismcq__ and experienced my first dance behind a waterfall. All in the queer comfort of beautiful souls turned children that one afternoon. For the little David who’s always been afraid of water. 🌊

At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
-TS Eliot

The more I explore practices of freedom and connection, the more I realise it always comes back to the sensuous body.

I’ve been thinking about fear differently lately.

What if we stopped trying to push through fear? What if we flirted with it instead?  10 year old me would never dream of surviving 20 seconds on the monkey bars. Even a couple years back, I was grateful enough to manage 5 pull-ups let alone staying on the bar playing around with skills.   Flirting asks something different of us. It changes our relationship with fear. There’s lightness. Curiosity. A willingness to approach simply to see what happens. An invitation to play where there was pressure, and to explore rather than confront.

I’ve learnt that fear rarely disappears but over time, it does take up less of my attention. And whatever attention fear gives back, play and self-belief can move into.   What are you flirting with these days?  Between sessions @mission.e1   #movementstory #movementismedicine #practice by @davidkam

Start with curiosity.

One of the greatest privileges of teaching Beyond Asana on @kindredyogalife’s 200hr Teacher Training is meeting people before years of “this is the right way” begin to settle into their approach to teaching and practice.
 So we begin somewhere else.

Possibility over perfection.
Curiosity over certainty.
Sensation over solutions.

And most importantly, with our own bodies.

Before we guide others, we learn to deepen our own relationship with movement and yoga — to cultivate a practice of listening, questioning and discovering from the inside out.
 To this year’s trainees, thank you for your openness, your willingness to experiment, and for reminding me that every new cohort sees the world differently.

May you never lose sight of what first moved you to begin.

Thank you for your trust as always @katarinarayburnyoga @helenrussellclark. And to the brilliant assistants @emilyrose.yogaflows and @gracevincentyoga for the peas, the footages and helping hold such a generous space. 🫶🏼

Ways of seeing a single moment.

Which perspective did you resonate with?

What if the most meaningful part of movement isn’t what we can see?

What if it’s the quality of attention behind it?

The hesitation before a shift. The ease of moving into, across or against a surface. The moment curiosity replaces certainty. 
These are the invisible aspects of movement.

This is why I improvise.  Not to create something new, but to make space for discovery. To wander without a destination, noticing possibilities that technique alone can so easily overlook.

Over the years of practice, I’ve become less interested in learning more sequences, and more interested in deepening my relationship with movement to understand how I myself would like to move.

This is when practice becomes infinitely interesting to me.   Because there is no finish line — only an ongoing invitation to notice and feel. A commitment to continue these conversations my body has been having all along with wilder permission.
