SLB is evolving and it reminds me so much of the duality of the Yin-yang concept. To have a full digital studio with different ways to practice that work for everyone’s life along with teaching in person has always been my goal. I hope those of you who are taking our group programs are enjoying the experience so far. Teaching truly gives me life like no other.

In Ancient Chinese philosophy, yin and yang ("dark-light", "negative-positive") is a concept that describes how opposite forces may actually be complementary and interconnected.

The theory of Yin and Yang says that everything that surrounds us is made up of two opposite forces that harmoniously unify to favor movement and, in turn, change. So, while Yin symbolizes the feminine, darkness, water, intuition, and the ability to nurture life, Yang is all about momentum, the masculine, luminosity, expansion, and fire. We all recognize the symbol of Yin and Yang. And although the symbol is rooted in Chinese philosophy (and religion) it can also be said that this concept and display of duality brings harmony to life.
