And in order to call the island forth, Aimhirghin composed and sang an invocation.

He says when Western yogis and yoginis believe that yoga comes from India alone they do not always realize that we have just what we need in our own culture for spiritual practice, and that &#8220;it is dramatically alive at our far Western boundaries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When\u00a0we see how humanity and yoga evolved on Earth from a geographical standpoint, it becomes clearer that yoga belongs to everyone.\u00a0&#8220;If we look back through time we can see that the people who spread out literally and culturally from the lands around the Black Sea in Central Europe (the original Indo-Europeans) took two paths\u2014those who traveled the farthest east ended up in India, and those who traveled the farthest west ended up in Ireland (the Celts)\u2014but they came from the same roots,&#8221; says Jack.<\/p>\n<h3>Yoga as the Universal Story<\/h3>\n<p>For India and Ireland\u2014where evidence of those shared roots have been most preserved\u2014this universal myth and the\u00a0shared\u00a0heritage of yoga is obvious.\u00a0The name of the Goddess Danu of the Irish creation myth above appears in the Vedic texts of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Rigveda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rigveda<\/a> as a primordial Hindu goddess of the sacred waters; the Irish god of love, music, and poetry has striking similarities to Krishna and his mother was called Bo-Vinda (\u201cbo\u201d means \u201ccow\u201d in Ireland as does \u201cgo\u201d in India); and the song the druid Aimhirghin sings bears an uncanny resemblance to part of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.holybooks.com\/the-ten-principal-upanishads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Upanishads<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Even the snake is prominent in both Vedic and Celtic myth. The serpent is the feminine energy of <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/free-yoga-class-gurmukh-blessing-aquarian-age\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kundalini<\/a>, and in Ireland the Earth was worshipped as the Goddess of Sovereignty of the Land who was\u2014in the form of a snake\u2014banished from Ireland by St. Patrick.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Celtic yoga encourages us to deepen our yoga practice by becoming familiar with the poetry, myth, and music that connects us to our own\u00a0land.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While the myth may still be alive in Ireland and India, sadly several of our world&#8217;s myths\u00a0have been appropriated by religious groups that do not resonate with many of us.\u00a0&#8220;But we need to unearth them,&#8221; says Jack. &#8220;It is how the unconscious mind expresses itself\u2014through stories and poetry\u2014and we have lost touch with that outlet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When indeed we do unearth the\u00a0myths of our own cultures we see their connection with myths of <em>all<\/em> cultures.\u00a0&#8220;The stories of the hero&#8217;s journey, the lost lover, and the miraculous birth are repeated across the Earth. And so, when we hear any myth or poem, it speaks to us\u2014regardless of where it comes from\u2014because it is the universal story of humanity. We deeply need to\u00a0find our own stories, so we can\u00a0realize our connection to one another also,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<h3>The Return of the Goddess<\/h3>\n<p>Above all, Celtic yoga aims to bring harmony and connection to the Earth. Jack and Uma not only hope to re-establish a balance between the Eastern and Western fields of yoga, but also one where the feminine is in balance with the masculine\u2014bringing back the snake that St. Patrick banished. <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/goddess-lakshmis-abundance-manoj-jyothi-chalam-speakeasy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Goddess<\/a>\u00a0as Earth\u00a0is an integral part of myth and poetry, and by reconnecting with those, we reconnect with her. It is not about overthrowing\u00a0the masculine, says Jack, but rather about &#8220;celebrating one another.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So what does a typical Celtic yoga class of Jack&#8217;s look like? It begins with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yoganonymous.com\/5-pranayama-breathing-techniques-for-focus-and-calm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pranayama<\/a> and poetry and story, before moving into asana and then Savasana, says Jack. Uma also specializes in Yoga Nidra.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the druid-poet Aimhirghin once did for the land of Ireland, Celtic yoga uses the voice and the breath to sing a place or state or idea into existence during yoga practice.\u00a0&#8220;After a\u00a0couple of hours spent breathing and moving we sing together. Our <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/visuddha-chakra-meditation-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">throats have been warmed<\/a> by the breath, and our inhibitions loosened through our practice, and in singing we get to come home to ourselves,&#8221; says Jack. And we realize, adds Uma, that &#8220;our yoga\u2014our connection with the Earth, the sun, and the moon\u2014is not the exclusive territory of a far-Eastern\u00a0tradition but rather it sings inside ourselves, inspired by our own tradition and our own place in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>*<em>The Irish Creation Myth shared by <a href=\"http:\/\/jackharrison.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack Harrison<\/a><\/em><\/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>Helen Avery is a Section Editor at Wanderlust Media, contributing to the Vitality and Wisdom channels of wanderlust.com.
