Sourdough & Yoga
The threads connecting sourdough & yoga are the same ones threaded through almost every aspect of our lives.
Acceptance. Every day brings a unique reality. Your body is different each time you step on the mat, your sourdough is different with every loaf that you make. However different, it’s always good.
Strength & Flexibility. How hard we try to balance these two aspects in our body, our mind and in our sourdough loaf. Too strong, it will be dense and unpleasant. Too flexible, it will collapse. It’s the balance that keeps it together.
Time. The most important ingredient in just about anything. Mindful changes to our lives, microbial changes in sourdough – every process takes its own time. You need to create the conditions for it to happen and just let it be…
A very unique day
On a technical level, we will learn how to make sourdough and the theory behind each step of the process. We will also learn about yoga and experience different styles of practice.
On a deeper, more holistic level, we will draw connections between the two and come to reflect on sourdough making and yoga practice as part of a bigger lifestyle movement. And once these connections are drawn, you’ll find that they can be extended to other aspects of our lives.
Finally, on a practical level, we’ll have a great day with great people, sharing a community feeling of mindfulness and love of delicious, wholesome foods. We’ll keep it small, 10 people maximum to maintain the intimacy and make sure we can provide our full attention to each member.
The day will be guided by @The Yoga Shed teacher Kate Pattisson
