He is also a yogi.<\/h3>\n<p>At the age of six\u2014adorned in a headdress, drum in hand, and bells on feet\u2014Tony stepped onto a stage to represent his father\u2019s culture. Since then he has danced and played music to share inspiration and wisdom from Native American teachings, such as the Eagle Dance, which speaks of finding balance, letting go, and fulfilling the circle of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the eagle we learn that we have to leave our comfort zone in order to make the journey towards the truth of who we are, and towards peace,\u201d says Tony.<\/p>\n<p>It is a journey that he himself has taken, but it has not been easy.<\/p>\n<p>Raised in the city, Tony says he found it difficult to make the adjustment from the Native America\u00a0culture of his family to that of the society around him. By\u00a0the time he was a teenager he was already dependent on alcohol and drugs, and, at the age of 14, Tony was admitted to a mental hospital and placed into foster care. For 36 more years Tony struggled with addiction and depression, costing him several marriages and a period in prison.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It took a long time, but I\u00a0knew\u00a0I had to change. There was always this inner voice calling me back to the truth, and finally I just surrendered to it completely,&#8221; says Tony. And things did change.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;At the end of this circle, the story that will be told will not be of our successes in the world\u2014but rather of the lives we touched.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tony, now 59 and living in Arizona, works in\u00a0rehabilitation centers helping those on the road to recovery. He also works in hospice\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/deathmakeslifepossible.com\/people-in-the-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helping souls to transition at the end of their life<\/a>\u2014\u00a0and with cancer patients\u2014incorporating art, drumming, and music as a healing technique. Since kicking\u00a0addiction and entering recovery, Tony has recorded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.invinciblemusic.com\/tony-redhouse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five solo albums<\/a> of Native American healing music, and has worked with kundalini teachers and musicians, <a href=\"http:\/\/snatamkaur.com\/album\/to-heaven-and-beyond\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snatam Kaur<\/a> and Dev Suroop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not just free from addiction, I\u2019m free from fear. I live knowing with all my heart that love is the thread in everything, and that we are here to help each other,&#8221; he says. &#8220;But we cannot reach out to others and create universal harmony until we have found personal inner balance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Inner Peace Through Practice<\/h3>\n<p>Tony\u00a0began practicing yoga several years ago in order to help him maintain flexibility for dancing, but soon recognized it as a means to achieving that personal inner balance. \u201cWhenever I would hold child\u2019s pose or lay in savasana, I would return to that familiar spiritual state. That moment of &#8216;<em>Ah&#8230; This is who I am&#8217;.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is realizing this\u00a0harmony with all of life and the universe that in <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/stop-exploiting-native-cultures-wellness-chelsey-luger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Native American culture<\/a> we believe to be our purpose\u2014for our hearts to beat in unison with the heart that beats in every bird, every rock, every tree, every animal, and every star,\u201d Tony says.<\/p>\n<p>Now a yoga teacher,\u00a0Tony has created a Native American spirit and yoga class to bring the wisdom of the two traditions together. He guides his classes\u00a0through the Four Directions, and the circle of life, starting with birth and blessing in the east, and ending with the surrender of savasana in the north: \u201cThe place of the ancestors,&#8221; he says. Using hoops, he demonstrates the interconnectedness of all life, while the drum is sounded to connect to the universal heart beat.<\/p>\n<p>Tony kindly shared with us\u00a0his teachings which draw\u00a0from these two paths.<\/p>\n<h3>Joining Breath with Heartbeat<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;In Native American wisdom, the breath is our individual soul, while the heartbeat is the life force in everything. When we connect the breath with the heartbeat\u2014our soul with the life force\u2014we become one, and experience a healing. This is often why we feel so peaceful when we practice yoga; we are bringing our movement and heartbeat in line with the breath. Using music can also help bring us to this point of harmony. The drum resonates with the heartbeat, while the flute represents the breath.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37747\" class=\"thumbnail aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-37747\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tony2-768x435.png\" alt=\"Drumming in savasana.

Photo by Kollin Lockamy.<\/div><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Being Still<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;If we wish to live with one foot on the Earth and one foot in the Heavens, then we must learn to master being still. By being still, we begin to stop thinking, and start feeling, and\u00a0we become in tune with our inner wisdom and guide\u2014the part of us that can walk into a forest and see a flock of birds emerge and know that <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/the-wolves-that-taught-me-to-be-wild\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">there is bear up ahead<\/a>. As humanity has distanced itself from nature, we have become analytical about this simple act of being still. We rely on \u2018how to\u2019 guides, and seminars about\u00a0meditation. We have made meditation something to think about, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated. Just take the time to be still.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Coming into Balance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;By having balance between the left wing and the right wing, the eagle coasts effortlessly\u2014beating its wings only five times an hour. We too need this balance within ourselves, and within our society. As in yoga philosophy, the left wing represents the female energy like the moon\u2014subtle, reflective, vulnerable\u2014while the right wing is like the Yang, assertive, strong, and hot. Sadly our society has become dominated by the &#8216;right-wing.&#8217;\u00a0Even in our yoga practice we see this imbalance play out\u2014when we focus more on athleticism, or talk about who has the best teacher, and when we feel we need to prove our worth. So we must allow ourselves to become vulnerable, to receive, and to be able to be contemplative in our practice\u2014and our life\u2014in order for the balance to return.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Life is the Ceremony<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;For this balance to return we must focus less on physical rituals, ceremonies and classes, and remind ourself that <em>life<\/em> is the ceremony, and that these practices are simply reminders of that constant state of Being. Every thought, word, and action is a prayer within that ceremony. If we don&#8217;t realize this, we are in danger of turning spirituality into\u00a0religion with our list of &#8216;must-dos.&#8217; Once we understand that we\u00a0<em>create<\/em> our ceremony, then we realize that everything we need to obtain balance\u00a0is right in front of us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This personal balance is desperately needed, says Tony, as\u00a0society becomes ever more disconnected\u00a0from\u00a0ancient traditions. &#8220;Humanity used to reach out to one another. We were open to learn from each other&#8217;s differences\u2014seeking peace and harmony\u2014but this is sadly no longer the case. We have forgotten that we are all one,&#8221; he says. Tony believes that even our spiritual teachings (such as Native American traditions, yoga, or Buddhism) are simply separate unique facets of what he calls\u00a0&#8216;the diamond in the sky,&#8217; or unconditional love.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Indeed, everything is a unique facet of that diamond,&#8221; says Tony. &#8220;Every person, every relationship, and every challenge that comes to us, are simply reflecting back to us the unconditional love that lies within everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And so, says Tony, we must each take the flight of the eagle. &#8220;We must leave our comfort zone of the nest, seek balance and soar towards our highest dreams\u2014towards truth, and towards peace for all. <em>This<\/em> is the fulfilling of the circle of life. For\u00a0at the end of this circle, the story that will be told will not be of our successes in the world\u2014but rather of the lives we touched.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-33960 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/HelenaveryHS.jpg\" alt=\"HelenaveryHS\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/HelenaveryHS.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/HelenaveryHS-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/HelenaveryHS-185x185.jpg 185w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeaslove.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeaslove.com\/\">Helen Avery<\/a> is a\u00a0journalist, writer, yoga teacher, and full-time dog walker of Millie.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"addthis_sharing_toolbox\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"jp-relatedposts\" class=\"jp-relatedposts\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Navajo spiritual teacher and yogi Tony Redhouse shares wisdom from the traditions that have shaped his life of balance and service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1495,"featured_media":37744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3190],"tags":[1568,803,51],"class_list":["post-37743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stretch","tag-native-american","tag-wisdom","tag-yoga-practice"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.0 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
