Recommended Posts

I am attaching details of a yoga workshop with Janet Evans and Geoff Farrer at The Zen Yoga Centre,2D Camberwell Grove, SE5 8RE on Saturday June 6th 2015 from 10am to 4.30pm THERE ARE 2 REMAINING SPACES


The theme comes from the teachings of the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, YOGA AND THE MIND.

Patanjali lists various activities of mind and states the aim of yoga as the ability to direct the mind towards an object and sustain focus in that direction without any distractions.


In this workshop we shall explore ideas relating to Yoga and the Mind and look at ways to bring the mind away from distraction and into a state of attention. This will involve the integration of body, breath and mind in several themed practices. We shall also consider important yoga ideas around practice and cultivating an attitude of dispassion.


The day will consist of three practices and will be interspersed with presentations and discussions on the above ideas.



The cost is ?50 payable into account 00115772 sort 110484 name JE Evans. This includes handouts and refreshments. Mats and cushions etc will be provided.



Please contact me if you would like to book a place or have any questions or queries.

    • A pretty awful incident.  Thankfully from my time in London fairly rare.  There was a time, particularly in North London in the 00s when moped gangs would come up behind cyclists and grab their bags.  There were also scare stories about riders being pushed off at the top of the hill and the bike grabbed, or cyclists being pushed into a canal such as the Grand Union.  I think these were very exaggerated. In recent times, cyclists, in particularly women, have been mugged, on cycle routes when other riders are not around, such as Deptford/Millwall  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm27x5klxxlo But I expect that crimes involving threats/violence by criminals against cyclists are less likely than in other areas of life.  Mobile phone theft being one of the obvious examples.  I was told many years ago following a burglary that criminals would rather not have any contact with their victims, and bike theft would sound to be less risky to them by stealing locked up bikes (far too common) rather than attacking the rider.  The spate of thefts from builders vans in broad daylight knocks this a little on the head, as the criminals are often confronted. @Rockets as a regular cyclist in the past did you experience threats etc?  My worse experiences were being knocked off by dangerous drivers, once being left for dead in a hit and run, and road rage where drivers chased me or threatened me after they had passed to close, turned across me etc.  You learn from this and do your best to avoid such conflict.  
    • Whilst I am not sure if this is appropriate to this case, I know that often people from minority groups don't feel safe with the police and there have been many incidents where people from minority groups have been mistreated, beaten etc, just for being.
