do you find you think a lot?

a lot?

well, this is not a new problem. it's been around for a long time.

in this short episode, i read you a few little stories from the daoist treasure trove.

a man whose neighbour loses a sheep.

another who robs a bank.

and it's their mind which causes trouble.

come join me.

We're back!

In this short episode, I introduce myself. I'd like you to know a little about me and where I've come from.

This episode is taken from a "meet & greet event" recently. We begin sitting for 5 mins.

I then talk a little about my 500hr Yin Yoga and Wellness Training Program I bring to my little corner of the yoga world.

The ending is sudden as I cut before we had a Q&A Session.

Come join me!

In this longer episode, I present the whole thing on why we do Yin Yoga the way we do. Why we relax our muscles and some of the basic aims for the practice.

This lecture was taken from a recent workshop so includes a Q&A at the end and an invitation to join us on our upcoming 200hr Yin Yoga training program... all online for these COVID times. Come join us at: https://dhugalmeachem.teachable.com/p/yyttonlinesales1

Exercise!

We love it.

We do lots of it.

It is often very intense.

I want to reframe our idea in this first lecture of 2 or 3 into thinking about soft exercise and what it is good for.

Come join me.

This is the last in our mini 3-part series on "why we meditate".

Cos no-one seems to have an idea!

This week, we focus on "being with the moment"... and riding it, whatever happens, no big deal. So many gurus and spiritual teachers seem so relaxed and chill.. how do they get there?

What is a quality we are nurturing in meditation?

Well, really it is an ability to completely experience ANYTHING which comes into our mind, our consciousness. How do we do that? It is not complex... come join me.

We're back!

So many are confused by meditation and are not sure why they are doing it or what is supposed to happen... Let me explain.

Come join me.

Hey!

In this episode we consider living in the now as a way of experiencing eternity. We are inspired by chapter 23 of the Tao Te Ching.

In the last 30mins we talk about bodily sensation in the Yin Yoga practice.

Come join us!

In this episode we consider the Yin-Yang symbol as a metaphor for the human experience.

In the last 30mins we consider safety in yoga practice. What does it mean to be safe? Is that a valid approach to yoga?
