We live in a time where we are flooded with unbearable news. We don’t even need to mention which ones. We already know. Faced with all this we are, alas, powerless spectators. In order to keep functioning, the mind is forced, against its will, to make a paradoxical effort: to normalize the unnormalizable. But this process is unnatural and creates tension in our nervous system.
Yoga then becomes a fundamental practice: only by practicing can you understand why.
In the Western view mind and body are considered separate entities; in yoga we discover their deep connection: through practice we can dissolve and release the tensions that have accumulated within us.
What does it mean that practice frees us? Just like when a knot in the hair is gently combed out; or when a clogged sink is finally cleared and the water begins to flow again. In the same way, through practice the knots of tension dissolve and by the end of practice we rediscover in the body lightness, energy and life.
It is like pressing reset, finding our center and returning to the world with more stability, clarity and peace.
In times like these, taking part in a retreat is a choice of deep care.
