I AM TOO INFLEXIBLE TO DO YOGA

It’s the same as saying, I’m too dirty to take a shower. Besides, yoga isn’t about #flexibility anyways. Ultimately, yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind. Once your mind is calmed, there comes clarity, kindness, empowerment and courage.

I’m fortunate enough to take a group of enthusiastic yogis in Hong Kong on their #empoweredflow journey, taking them upside down, putting them into shapes they didn’t know existed, making them sweat and along the way, finding more about themselves.

This 90-minute Vinyasa practice emphasises on going upside down, combining yoga, core conditioning, calisthenics and hand balancing.

It allows both your body and mind to flow like water but still have total control.

This class is open to everyone with any fitness level and background.

Swipe left to check out the dates in Oct and slots are quickly filling up so click on my bio now to reserve 👈

Ready to lead others on their journey into empowerment? I’ll be leading a teaching training in Nov to a small group @yogaroomhk too.

【「dig one’s heels in」，英文形容固執的六種方式】#實用英文

通常，比較能靈活思考的人我們會用「flexible」（可變通的、靈活的）來形容，相對來說，「inflexible」就是比較死腦筋、不知變通的形容詞。

但除了inflexible之外，英文也有「對牛彈琴」的類似用法：

I was unable to do lotus pose at the very beginning of my yoga journey, ankle is one of the inflexible parts of my body, my biggest struggles have been my biggest teachers, finally I made this. #keeppracticeandalliscoming

其實我腳背腳腕真係天生十級緊，剛開始接觸瑜伽時連盤蓮花都有困難，但只要不斷堅持練習，找出原因對症下藥，身體就會慢慢得到改善，所以唔需要心急，當下未成功唔代表永遠，努力終會有回報，加油！

多乖巧的小朋友都有令父母「無晒符」的時候，試問哪個小朋友未曾發過脾氣：尖叫、哭鬧、甚至「瞓地」？於是很多專家教我們「小朋友發脾氣要點做」，但大家有沒有想過，小朋友發脾氣前是否真的毫無先兆？如果父母能夠在小朋友發脾氣之前就先發制人，結果又會怎樣？

Water is soft and fluid, yet triumphs over hard rock.
Here's beautiful writing by Chinese Daoist philosopher Lao Zi (Lao Tzu), set to pictures of a mountain stream in Hong Kong, and to classical music.

ACCEPTING THE BLAME
Nothing in the world,
Is as yielding and receptive as water;
Yet in attacking the firm and inflexible,
Nothing triumphs so well.
Because of what it is not,
This becomes easy.

The receptive triumphs over the inflexible:
The yielding triumphs over the rigid.
None in the world do not know this.
None have the ability to practice it.

Therefore Evolved Individuals say:
One who accepts the disgrace of the organisation
Can be called the leader of the grain shrine.
One who accepts the misfortunes of the organisation
Can be called the leader of the world.

Right words appear to reverse themselves.

Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching)
道德經
Sixth century B.C.

Note: Water yields, but as it has not shape nor limits, it will ultimately triumph. Evolved leaders have to accept responsibility for all problems within the organisation - whether it's disgrace or mistakes. This will make them fit to guide the world.
