Reflections that sit alongside our practice.

A message from our founder, Regeesh, on International Yoga Day. He shares his perspective that yoga is a journey toward the expression of the Self, a path to discovering who you are truly meant to be.

A thought from our founder, Regeesh Vattakandy. Yoga helps us develop the awareness to distinguish our real struggles from the unnecessary battles we often create for ourselves.

A short reflection from Regeesh on the nature of discipline. He reminds us that any practice forced upon the mind that is not in alignment with your true self can be harmful. Mindfulness is key.

About The Aayana Philosophy

Regeesh describes yoga as a journey towards "the expression of the Self". His reflections ask us to recognise the real struggle and notice when discipline does not align with us.

There is no shortcut to progress. Patanjali's Yoga Sutras state that practice becomes firmly grounded when it is done over a long time, without interruption, and with sincere dedication. This is the honest truth of the journey.

Understanding the Philosophy Behind Yoga

To gain control over the mind, we must first learn to guide our senses. This is a concept I am always working on. By choosing what we read, watch, and listen to, we can channel our energy in a more positive and productive direction.6
Body image is less about how we look and more about how we feel. I believe the inner work is the most important. Taking care of your mental health is a form of self-care, because the body hears everything the mind says.
You are the expert of your own body. While I can guide you, only you know what truly feels right. This picture is a playful exploration of my own flexibility, but the real yoga is in listening to and respecting your body's wisdom.
Often, the things we need to do most are the things we avoid. This pose, Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana, reminds me that life is a journey of small, consistent steps, even when it feels hard.
