a yoga retreat

I just went on a weekend yoga retreat that was quite interesting. There are a number of online resources out there on yoga retreats- reviews, how to pick the right one, what to expect, etc. so this entry will instead be a little something about my personal experience.

thoughts on ba duan jin.


Ba Duan Jin, variously translated as Eight Silk Weaving, Eight Piece Brocade and Eight Silk Brocade among other names is one of the most well known Chinese exercises for internal development. Due to this popularity there exist many variations of the exercises and disparate teachings on their benefits. Most practitioners utilizing these exercises perform them by rote without care or consideration for what or how they are doing them, or what the exercises are doing in return. As such, this article is an exploration of some of my questions on the “how.”
