Embodiment & The Yin-Yang Of It All

 

A Workshop for Leadership Embodiment Alumni

(Eight places only)

with Paul King

20/21 January, Oxford

 

Underlying our Leadership Embodiment work are the dynamics of yin-yang. A constant relational conversation between masculine and feminine principles, revealed through the breath, movement, posture, space and more.

In this workshop we will practice and inquire into our LE practices through this lens while also working with a short simple tai chi form, breathwork and sound. Tai chi is sometimes also referred to as Tai Ji. ‘Tai’ represents the person, open and present. ‘Chi’ is universal life force. ‘Ji’ is the relationship of integrated complimentary opposites, yin-yang.

Yin is sometimes referred to as sanctity and yang as potency. Together they form two wings of the bird. As complimentary forces and principles, Yin is always alive in Yang and Yang in Yin. We will inquire into power and aesthetics, our patterns of opening and closing, focus and flow, musicality and effectiveness as we explore,

Deepening our inquiry into somatic narratives that influence movement

Patterns of holding and containment

Celebrating and increasing vitality and the flow of chi through the three centres

Using the breath consciously to create more flow

How we use space in the eight directions

Working more consciously with the space between us

Increasing capacity to be with what is and proactively respond

We will also work with the inquiries you bring. So I warmly invite you to join this small group dive into your somatic and embodied practice.
