Yoga with Attitude: The REAL Approach for Sustaining Positive Change
11 - 13 Feb $350 Book Here
12 - 13 Feb $250 Book Here
Difficult times do not arise on cue, and hopefully today will be completely without them. Imagine a perfect day. How would your mind be? Joyful, happy, clear, enjoying a sunny day, and so on.
And now consider the opposite, a day of difficulty. The mind might be dull, distracted, exhausted with struggle and endless other difficulties.
Consider a strategy for any day, whether it is a difficult day or not. What form could this take? How might each day be approached so that whatever happens is managed effectively?
The strategy will be an individual one, but consider the different elements to the REAL approach.
- Reflect - Observe the events of the day without being mentally entangled in them
- Engage - Engage with the situations of the day, with awareness, acting not reacting
- Adjust and Adapt - adjust and adapt according to the experience of each situation
- Let Go - the aim is to diminish worries, not increase them.
During the weekend yoga practises, breathing techniques and practical meditations will be presented.
