When Love Beckons You with Delara Tiv
"Come, come, whoever you are, a pagan, an idol worshiper, or an infidel. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come."
- Rumi
Delara Tiv grew up with Sufi traditions throughout her family. However, it wasn't until she turned 22 that she became drunk with love and fell headfirst into the Sufi Mystic path as a disciple of Sufi Master Javad Nurbakhsh. Her spiritual practice is graced by his guidance and this Mystic teaching is a parallel path to her practice of Ashtanga Yoga. And yet again on this podcast we discovered an opportunity to reference Peter Gabriel’s Solsbury Hill. What is it like to live in our ordinary and banal world while vibrating in unison with the divine? Well.. its tough honestly.
(It was at this point in the conversation that Russell said he could teach her students how to have ecstatic mystical experiences for a $300 and a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Veuve Clicquot Rose Champagne will also work and will be assigned one per student)
*you must embrace the dizzying spins as you would a whirling dervish.
As a Certified Advanced Rolfer and yoga teacher Delara's goal is to lead practitioners of all levels to develop a safe and sustainable self-practice; to grow by mindful embodiment and to overcome past injuries and limitations.
Ashtanga Vevey was founded in 2018 by Delara Tiv, with the intention to hold space for a community to emerge and to support yoga practitioners of all abilities on their path of self discovery in this deeply transformational practice.
