My next workshop will be a Yin Yoga session and will encourage us to focus inwards, providing an opportunity to go a little “deeper” and explore what it means to let go of effort and ego.
Letting go of effort is often seen as counter intuitive in our modern day society, in which we are encouraged to strive, push and be the best, leading to a competitive, stressed and burnt out state of being.
However there is another way, the Daoists call this the ‘Wu Wei” or the path of effortless action. It doesn’t mean not doing, but rather doing while we are in “flow”, at peace and not so attached to the results.
This can be quite difficult for the Western Culture to appreciate, it is however a way in which we could find more comfort and authenticity.
During the workshop we will explore the concept of Wu Wei (using the Tao Te Ching) considering how we can adopt some of its principles, with the aid of pranayama (breath work), meditation and Yin postures.
The Elephant rooms is a beautiful space with mats, bolsters and blankets, feel free to bring your own.
