“At the age of 20 frazzled by my circumstances and the age-long question ’what should I do with my life?’ I headed out to Asia. Through my travels encountering different people and places it became transparent that I was at my happiest either deep in the heart of nature or in a place of worship. So I travelled exhaustively through Asia and most extensively through India, which I had a special affinity for. A country deeply rooted in spiritual practices throughout the whole of its society, from which for thousands of years great teachings and teachers have emerged.
I delved in and out of different yoga, meditation and spiritual endeavors for a number of turbulent years never really satisfied until I gratefully happened upon Ashtanga-the eightfold path and Advaita when I met a teacher of great significance to my life …Godfrey Devereux. I enthusiastically spent time as his apprentice and completed a teacher training which gave me an in-depth understanding and experience of yoga. Under guidance I began to grasp the fundamentals to the practice of yoga, which led to realizations on and off the mat. Through a deepening appreciation and practice of meditation and asana, study of the Patanjalis sutras and the absorption of the teachings of Advaita, life began to make sense and I relaxed more and more into the flow. This was life-changing stuff! Yoga became an arena of discovery and exploration into my true nature and ultimately into the nature of life itself. On the mat concepts became experienced realities and the fuzziness of daily existence began to clear as my various practices offered deepening transformations in my emotional, physical and mental being.
Like any great joy in life…. Nature… laughter… friendship…love… I hope that the precious jewel of yoga is experienced throughout the world. I would love to see people live through the yoga teachings to explore their true nature and realize their full potential. It would be great if all of us that have been touched by yoga can find ourselves journeying inward with awareness, good intentions and a connection to our inner wisdom to enrich our own, and the lives of people all around us, with relaxation, peace, joy, smiles, laughter and most of all love."
Scarlett often works as a yoga model and enjoys being photographed and filmed. She learns a lot about her practice when she sees herself from a different perspective and gets great pleasure from seeing the beauty of the yoga form captured on film. |
