Yoga Journal LIVE! San Francisco

Our modern nervous systems contend with multi-sensory overload, the pressure to produce, an ever-expanding cyberspace, and an endless stream of opportunities to compare ourselves to others. It’s a paradox: most of us seek the balm of inner calm and stillness. And yet, emerging research shows that we benefit more from resilience: the ability to feel challenges fully and return to balance. In this all-day workshop, we’ll experience several practical tools to create resilience—and thus, an “elastic” concept of inner peace—in the mind, brain, and body. We’ll draw from the traditions of yoga, mindfulness, neuroscience, contemplative practice to find ways to remain centered and flexible in a world that is out of balance. Tools will include embodied meditation, mindful movement, connective tissue release work, and more.
