a robust body 3/4
living things are not high-performing: they are neither effective (they have no objective) nor efficient (they waste a great deal of resources).
Olivier Hamant, Antidote to the cult of performance, the robustness of living things
the essentials #3 the body
being there, in oneself, unified: ãsana
the bio-intelligence of the body in the service of fulfilment, authentic human maturity
a robust body is sensitive, delicate, receptive, reactive, vulnerable, fragile
it is adaptable
it balances itself, self-regulates, regenerates, transforms, evolves in real time
driven by the bio-intelligence of living beings
it is inventive, innovative, prodigal
it recycles, hybridises, renews
it is incoherent, inconsistent, mutable
its weak links are its strength: valve and flexibility
it is abundant, fertile, fruitful
it is pragmatic: remaining stable and viable
it is connected
a complex system, it is interdependent with other systems, smaller and larger, with which it cooperates
a robust body is thriving!
it is joyfully evolving
what direction, what forms should we give to our practices in times of instability and uncertainty?
we must become intimate with our bodies to access their deep resources
then, in harmony with the body and the laws of nature, the appropriate forms impose themselves, allowing us to move on to the next stage of rebirth: nothing is fixed or definitive
I will make simple, accessible and concrete proposals, at the confluence of the ancient wisdom of yoga, bioenergetic research and expanded human consciousness
I have arranged a series of four 3-hour sessions between March and October
– two meetings in the spring, to respond to the needs of a body evolving in a changing world
– the summer season to venture further at your leisure, to savour the body, explore and let things mature at their own pace
– two autumn meetings, to push further, share and deepen the gems, amplify them and spread them
when 28 March and 18 April, 26 September and 17 October 2026 from 1-4pm
where on Zoom, live or replay, you will receive an audio recording of the session
fee £220 for the series of four meetings (possibility to pay in two instalments, in March and September)
please contact me if you have any other questions.
