A varied day of yoga with some philosophy, posture work, relaxation and general good vibes!
Workshop announcement! BWY South Sangha
We are very excited to have Wendy Teasdill, (aka Bendy Wendy Bird) leading 'The Klesha's from obstacles to stepping stones' yoga workshop at the BWY South Sangha.
Wendy is a BWY Yoga Teacher Trainer with 40+ years of experience. She is also a writer specialising in Travel, Yoga Philosophy and the transformation of grief.
'The Klesha's from obstacles to stepping stones' - Life in the material world positively demands that we engage with our kleshas: almost against our better instincts sometimes we can find ourselves buying into a narrative whose premise is ignorance. The bright lights of capitalism encourage us to attach ourselves to possessions and status as indicators of how important and successful we are, to avoid that which is unpleasant and to do all that we can to live our best lives and to forget about death.
And so we prance through our parts in this theatre of the absurd despite irrefutable evidence that we all die in the end. Books on anti-ageing, exercise regimes, skin-creams and elixirs promising eternal youth proliferate and yet – we might be better off just engaging with our yoga practice, dismantling the illusions and accepting our mortality with grace. It's not practical to go and live in a cave, but within our hearts and on our mats we can develop insights to help us accept the paradox of illusion for what it is: an instrument for transformation.
So interesting.... want to find out more? Book a place to join us for an amazing, transformational day of yoga at the BWY South Sangha.
