To describe singer, songwriter, dancer and friend of fizzYcaL Shaka Lish as a yoga enthusiast would be an understatement. She's been bending our ear about Ashtanga for months and we're very glad she has. Even the most basic of basic moves have improved our flexibility.
So committed is Shaka to her practice that for this video she performed her full hour long routine whilst we filmed. We didn't have the heart to disturb her serenity so half way through we popped to the pub. Only joking!
When we weren't filming we were being convinced more and more of the need to drop some yoga into our exercise regime.
When you find yourself asking:
"How strong and agile are we really if we can't stand completely straight on one leg whilst holding the big toe of the other leg with barely a wobble?"
"If I tried to do that everyday could I wrap my leg around my body like that too?"
You got to give yoga a try. Ah...and another one:
"How is she managing to stay so focussed in this heat and noise?"
Being the quirky folk we are, we thought it'd be kinda cool to have yoga performed in a very different setting. And it doesn't get any more different than the basketball courts under the busy Westway motorway in the heart of Central London.
So enjoy the video that we've nicknamed 'zen meets chaos' starring yogi Shaka Lish.
