About KI FLOW Yoga





What is Ki FLOW Yoga?

Ki FLOW gives you back your body.
Ki FLOW yoga is a somatic based yoga therapy developed by Renée.

Imagine being able to practice being strong & balanced at your edge some days or soft and behind your edge on others with no judgment.

 Ki FLOW Yoga allows the remembering and the intelligence of the body to guide you. 
 Each practice is new, unfolding another layer of experience, it opens us into different ways to relate to our body that involves our emotions (we use connection to Chinese 5 element theory) and an understanding of how we use our body in relationship to these energies,  also the food we eat, the season we are in or the dreams & visions we hold.



 When we practice Ki FLOW we hold a posture as a shape (for example the downward facing dog is a V or a triangle) moving through that, taking time, and allowing each breath to be the tread that links all plans of consciousness.
We allow the practice to be free form, like a dance or a wave – like motion, non-static, flowing.
 Each expression or posture links and moves into the next – there is no end result only process – no attachment to the perfect form, being in the moment and in every way surrendering to that, what is perfect.
Weather it is with freedom or constriction, it is that, the body is unfolding the pattern it wants/needs to communicate to you, to even momentarily find the oneness.
Emotion – what is within as you flow? What does your left side say? 
What does your right side say? 

Ki FLOW Yoga allows us to question that which triggers the physical movement in the body as a shape is held, it opens up an otherwise closed circuit, it reconnects us to our truth that is locked away.
Ki FLOW ‘moves you to oneness’
Part of my intent is that each person takes something that resonates with them ‘off the mat’ and into other aspects of their daily life.

What is Oki-Do Yoga?
Ki Flow Yoga is based in Oki-do Yoga principles which was Renee's background and training.
 Oki-Do Yoga was originally developed by Dr Masahiro Oki,  it is  a spontaneous, innovative and unique and is inclusive of all styles of Yoga.
  
It’s philosophical underpinning of Zen Buddhism states 
‘There is no single right way’ , 
so all practices and beliefs of Yoga are welcomed. 
Oki-do Yoga’s physical practise is based on Oriental theory of channels of life energy (Meridians) that pass through all the structures of the body. 
The energy feeds our emotional, phyical and spiritual wellbeing. 
Oki-do Yoga awakens our natural abilities to let go of our limiting beliefs,  enabling the student 
to take an individual pathway toward their understanding of the universe on all levels. 
Oki-do Yoga is also unique and inspiring in that it creates new and and fun Yoga postures, 
often working in pairs, this encourages creativity, self expression, laughter and play during a class. 
Working in pairs also helps develop mutual awareness of posture and meridians through touch using Shiatsu.
