Nine years ago, what began as a painting\u2014a figment of his cosmic imagination\u2014led to a conversation with a modern-day fairy godmother, followed by an introduction to a pen pal 10,000 miles away, and finally, a one-way ticket to <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/festivals\/sunshine-coast\/\" target=\"_blank\">Australia<\/a>. But this was not the end of a love story\u2014it was only the beginning. \u201cFinding Claudine became my biggest dream,\u201d Honza said recently during a pit stop in New York. The pair have been \u201cchasing summer\u201d around the world together for the past four years.<\/p>\n<p>In June of 2007, Honza&rsquo;s painting was the\u00a0embodiment of the\u00a0belief that we all have the power to create the life of our dreams. He painted\u00a0an abstract vision of a female figure overlooking a sunset, with the\u00a0intentions behind it crystal clear: Honza was ready to invite true love into his life. He called it \u201cCosmic <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/why-creating-for-fun-is-not-waste-of-time\/\" target=\"_blank\">Imagination<\/a>,\u201d only to find out months\u00a0later that Claudine\u2019s given Sanskrit name, \u00ab\u00a0Kapona,\u00a0\u00bb translated to\u00a0the same meaning. Before they had even met, their fate was cosmically sealed.<\/p>\n<p>The pair was first introduced via email by Claudine\u2019s godmother who was visiting Sydney from New York to film a movie. \u201cThe Godmother\u201d had spent nearly two years working with Honza during his former life as a fitness entrepreneur and\u00a0life coach. She insisted that he meet Claudine, despite the fact she lived in New York City where she managed a yoga studio. \u201cShe said to me, if there\u2019s two people in the world that should meet, it\u2019s you and Claudine,\u201d Honza recalled. The rest, as most of us could guess, is history. To this day, \u201cThe Godmother\u201d continues to represent a matriarchal figure in the Lafonds\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward, and Claudine and Honza Lafond share the spotlight as prominent fixtures in the yoga world\u00a0with their successful enterprise, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yogabeyond.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yoga Beyond<\/a>. As the co-creators of ACROVINYASA, the dynamic duo knows firsthand of the power to consciously connect with others through touch, trust, and meaningful communication. \u00ab\u00a0When it comes to conscious connection\u00a0between strangers, this is the time,\u00a0\u00bb Honza said. \u00ab\u00a0Any way we can <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/how-to-create-the-deepest-connections-while-at-wanderlust\/\" target=\"_blank\">reconnect with others<\/a> and step out of this world of isolation where it has become all about our own goals and intentions\u2014this idea that happiness is about how much you can acquire and how successful can you be.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<h3>Yoga as Community<\/h3>\n<p>The Lafonds have led workshops and teacher trainings around the world (and at Wanderlust), and have observed along the way how isolating a solo yoga practice can be\u2014concerned that it&rsquo;s moved from a place of sincerity, to seriousness.\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0Traditionally it\u2019s meant to be a solitary practice\u2014there\u2019s you and the mat, and there\u2019s a journey to it&#8230; But in today\u2019s world that&rsquo;s isolating, particularly in places that are so overpopulated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Honza believes that communication is\u00a0key to connecting to others, be it a life partner or a complete stranger. While that may take a lot of courage, he said that an Acro-practice is a direct reflection of this sentiment.\u00a0Claudine points out that <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/partner-yoga-the-yoga-of-trust-counterbalance\/\" target=\"_blank\">partner yoga<\/a> is indeed wonderful for life partners like the two of them, but that anyone can also benefit. Because a lot of people show up to their classes solo, the Lafonds have to spend a fair amount of time prepping and priming the students so that perfect strangers can feel comfortable looking into each other&rsquo;s eyes and touching one another.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0When they finally start working together there&rsquo;s just this ease that&rsquo;s experienced,\u00a0\u00bb Claudine\u00a0said. \u00ab\u00a0We do a great job of helping people\u00a0understand that the work we&rsquo;re doing is to keep breaking down the illusions of separation.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>To the Lafonds, conscious connection means that while we\u00a0recognize our individual selves\u2014which yoga helps us to do\u2014we must also see that everyone around us is part of a collective consciousness. Their work is to bridge the gap between strangers, and urge them to connect, to touch, to rekindle a sense of lost innocence.\u00a0\u201cMany people\u00a0have become so serious about their practice and serious about life&#8230;\u00a0in connecting to a sense of innocence we can drop down our guard, drop the stories of who we are, and just meet each other from a really pure place,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-56526 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ClaudineHonzaLafondPowerOfConsciousConnection2-768x692.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ClaudineHonzaLafondPowerOfConsciousConnection2-768x692.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ClaudineHonzaLafondPowerOfConsciousConnection2-992x894.jpg 992w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ClaudineHonzaLafondPowerOfConsciousConnection2.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Connecting to the Whole<\/h3>\n<p>The Lafonds believe that in order to change the way we see, we must first connect back to the whole\u2014that there&rsquo;s a fundamental difference between wanting to improve as an individual, versus improve as a collective conscious.\u201cWhen you look at the global issues we\u2019re facing, it\u2019s a lot about being individualized\u2014about being consumers of so much, without a consideration for the whole,\u201d Honza said. \u00ab\u00a0When we are creating on a mass scale, it becomes a real issue&#8230; We are too compartmentalized, too individualized, too <em>me, me, me,<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb he added.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to\u00a0creating content on social media, by now we can all understand the many pros and cons of today&rsquo;s favorite addiction. Honza agreed that this only adds to the isolation of <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/yoga-as-cultural-appropriation\/\" target=\"_blank\">yoga practitioners in the West<\/a>. \u00ab\u00a0There\u2019s so much time and effort that goes into it [social media]\u00a0for various reasons,\u00a0\u00bb he said. \u00ab\u00a0Obviously we are part of that game, people look [at their screens]\u00a0and maybe follow our account, they spend more time on it and because of that, we are contributors to that.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>But at the same time, however, Claudine and Honza does their best to inspire their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yogabeyond\/\" target=\"_blank\">350K Instagram following<\/a> to learn something, and then get off their phones and actually go out and do something. Honza attests that this is the way out of the challenge of screen addiction\u2014to inspire people\u00a0to learn and get out there so they can in turn, inspire others.<\/p>\n<h3>#YogaInspiration<\/h3>\n<p>A lot has changed in the yoga community\u00a0over the past 3\u20135 years, namely the path toward success as a teacher with a following. As pioneers that would blaze a trail for the many, many #YogaInspiration Instagram accounts to follow, the Yoga Beyond brand was poised for success from the beginning. Their social media platform grew organically, as they became widely-recognized for their aspirational visual aesthetic. Put simply, they were one of the first. As they watched social media\u00a0shift and explode over the years, like many other older generation yoga teachers, they worry that some yogis try to manufacture their accounts\u00a0in an attempt to achieve social media stardom, rather than uphold their own originality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s reshaping the landscape of yoga and every other industry, and we\u2019re constantly in awe of it all,\u00a0\u00bb Honza said. He admitted that most of the opportunities and business ventures for Yoga Beyond and ACROVINYASA to expand came from their exposure on social media, to which they are extremely grateful.<\/p>\n<p>From a yogic perspective, approaching social media with the goal of making money seems like a paradox. But still, many starry-eyed yogis continue to put in a lot of time and effort into their posts with this goal in mind. Honza cautioned\u00a0the importance of checking in, and asking yourself whether or not if you&rsquo;re\u00a0in balance. \u00ab\u00a0It\u2019s easily overlooked in other industries that don\u2019t deal with mindful living, but in yoga it seems so exaggerated and exemplified,\u00a0\u00bb he said. \u00ab\u00a0I understand the negative push from the older generation that feels this is not right&#8230; that this should not be part of yoga.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side however, the Lafonds agree that the rise of social media has inspired\u00a0all walks of life to practice yoga that may not have otherwise before. The key, however, is to develop a healthy relationship to social media, particularly among\u00a0young people, so as to not get lost amid\u00a0mindless scrolling. \u00ab\u00a0For the first time ever, teenagers are practicing yoga&#8230; there\u2019s a mass scale attraction to the practice by young people and that\u2019s just awesome,\u201d Honza said.<\/p>\n<p>So whether <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/learning-to-fly-with-aerial-yoga\/\">you&rsquo;re flying high<\/a> in an ACROVINYASA pose, scrolling through Instagram for inspiration, or wanting to deepen your connection to the world around you, it&rsquo;s all about striking a balance in the end. When we consciously\u00a0connect\u00a0to the\u00a0self, we must also <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/are-you-listening-or-waiting-for-your-turn-to-speak\/\">step outside ourselves<\/a> to connect to the whole\u2014be it IRL or on social media. By practicing conscious connection, we realize we are not alone\u2014we can mobilize. We can go out and change the world.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/robertsturmanstudio.com\/\">Robert Sturman Studio<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><em> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51515 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/andrea-rice-headshot-new-edit1.jpg\" alt=\"andrea-rice-headshot-new-edit\" width=\"200\" height=\"250\" \/>Andrea Rice is a freelance writer, editor, and yoga teacher.
