Yoga: tuning the Body - stilling the mind

Teacher: Beatrice Kidd
Cost: Accommodation plus R200
Dates: Friday 06 January 2012 - Sunday 08 January 2012
The integration of the disparate elements of our mental and bodily experiences into a single undivided harmonious whole has been a very ancient ambition. Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root 'Yug', which means to 'yoke together' - like one does a span of horses to ensure that they all pull in the same direction. One often feels the need for that in one's own life - where our body, emotions and thoughts often work to the detriment of one another and need to be harnessed to work in tandem so that a deeper, calmer sense of self can emerge. This retreat will combine meditation, simple, gentle yoga postures and discussions about the process of individuation to indicate that a profound experience of wholeness is achievable.
