Eastern Mysticism, Yoga, and Your Nervous System
with eoin finn

The “mystic experience” is the heart of so many philosophical and religious movements throughout history. Much of the Eastern Wisdom we cherish including Yoga is founded in the mystical experience. What exactly happens during a mystical experience is a mystery and thus the name, mysticism. All we can say for sure is that, in the words of Bob Marley, “Who feels it, knows it.” One thing all mystics from all traditions of the East and West talk about is that there is a deep feeling of stillness, of peace and the feeling that all things are deeply connected. Interestingly, a lot of the techniques these yogis and mystics cultivate, can be explained through understanding the nervous system.

Join Yogi, Surfer, and Blissologist Eoin Finn as he explains some of his exciting discoveries after over 23 years of studying philosophy, yoga, meditation and human anatomy in this intriguing workshop. We start with a lecture and discussion, then flow into an amazing vinyasa yoga class to end with a first person experience of the “mystic experience.”

Bio: One of Canada’s most well-known and well-loved yoga instructors, Eoin Finn has been a long-time disciple of Yoga, Philosophy, Martial Arts and Meditation. He has been teaching his unique, authentic and transformative style of Yoga and Blissology for over a decade. Eoin teaches all over the world and shares his passion for living well through yoga. He is a strong advocate of the belief in Yoga, Environmentalism and Social Change and founded the world's first Yogathon + Blissfest in 2001 in Vancouver, Canada where the practice of 108 sun salutations in community to raise funds for a worthwhile cause began. Eoin’s teaching offers a heart-opening, invigorating and experiential practice grounded with humor, dynamism and a focus on both physical and energetic alignment. Yoga, when practiced with this holistic awareness becomes fluid therapy, movement guided by the innate knowledge of our anatomy and evolution.

* IMPORTANT: This workshop with Eoin Finn will now be held at the Charlottesville Waldorf School. Please see http://www.tilakpyle.com/eoin-finn-workshop/ for more information.
