XL: Yin Yang Postures with Thought Patterns
With Shengnan Lu
Postures shape our bodies, while thoughts shape our minds.
Do you sometimes feel stuck in your body, wanting to move but unsure of what to do? Or perhaps you're caught in a cycle of unhelpful thoughts and wish to harness the power of your mind to transform your reality.
In this workshop, explore the delicate elements of yin and yang within your emotional landscape, stored both in yoga postures and in our minds.
Inspired by Classic Hatha Yoga you’ll learn how these ancient practices illuminate the yin and yang energies within your physical form. By blending ancient wisdom from Classic Hatha Yoga with modern writing exercises from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), you will be guided toward a harmonious union of body and mind.
Explore the Yin and Yang Elements in Our Thoughts:
- Through Classic Hatha Yoga: Discover how specific postures can influence and balance your body structures, and understand how thoughts can shape our minds in a similar manner.
- Inspired by CBT: Learn how to identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. Observe the interplay of different thoughts and how the gentle yin and dynamic yang aspects manifest in your thinking.
Integration of Body and Mind: Yoga Poses as Reflective Tools: Utilize yoga postures to bring awareness to your thinking patterns. Feel the flow of energy as these shapes become gateways to deeper cognitive insights.
- Therapeutic Writing Exercises: Engage in writing exercises that uncover the unhelpful patterns behind your thoughts. Explore the messages your mind carries and begin to reshape your cognitive landscape.
Who is this for?
Designed for individuals who feel stuck in certain situations and are eager to explore their thoughts through a holistic approach. Come with an open mind and a readiness to transform your cognitive patterns.
This workshop is NOT intended as a replacement for psychotherapy or psychiatric sessions.
