ABSTRACT
This chapter seeks to clarify some fundamentals about the nature and purpose of yoga; its contribution to members’ learning; what it might represent within the Group Relations conferences (GRCs), while coming out of the myths and fantasies expressed. It seeks to show how the central principles of yoga and GRCs are essentially similar. The fundamental tenet of yoga is that there is only one indivisible cosmic force – everything living and non-living is part of this universality. The Yoga Event has evolved but the resistances have been noticed/spoken about in most if not in all of the Leicester conferences to varying degrees. However, in Indian conferences, resistance is encountered much less because yoga is more culturally acceptable, part of the heritage – the exception might be in the business world. The Yoga Event is an integral part of Group Relations conferences – it has an important function, for the integration of mind/body/spirit, and the understanding of the whole self.
