DESCRIPTION
Why Yin & Tea?
This combination is the antidote to the chaotic pace of city life. In this time of revolution we deserve a relaxing evening to quiet the mind in order to proceed with clarity.
Imagine an hour of delicious long held yoga poses to let go of any tension and stress in the body. Yin teaches us to find stillness in any discomfort and to use the breath as a tool for relaxing our minds, organs, joints, tendons and parasympathetic nervous system.
This is followed by creating a circular ceremonial space in which to share tea, the sacred plant that has been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years in order to produce the calm yet awake state of mind which is perfectly suited to meditation and contemplation.
After three cups of organic living tea sourced from China in silence we close our two hours together with time to converse, share our experiences and connect with each other in this time of upheaval.
