Holding and Letting Go
A day of yoga practice with a morning class, and sessions throughout the day including a short talk, meditation, and yoga nidra.
The theme of the day is Holding and letting go. When we hold on to an aspect of yoga practice it helps us give less priority to other things, to begin to let them go. When our focus is on one thing, we are less likely to feel overwhelmed, better able to act with clarity and direction.
Yet, when we seek to hold our awareness somewhere, it wanders off, when we want to let something go, it holds on stronger than ever. There are steps to take with yoga, so that, when the time is right, both processes possible.
