Jeff Patterson, from Portland, OR, USA, has over 36 years of experience, practicing and teaching the meditative and martial arts. As the founder of Northwest Fighting Arts/Portland Tai Chi Academy and The Yielding Warrior, where he emphasizes the transformative power of meditative and martial arts practices, particularly the yielding concept.   He has published two books and hundreds of instructional videos. Founder of The Yielding Warrior online program and has worked with 1000's of students from around the world. This time, we go deeper into the art of yielding — a concept that’s not just about letting go but about truly listening and allowing. Jeff breaks down the three types of yielding: physical, mental, and emotional. We explore how tuning into these can transform your meditation practice, and how using mantras and sound can help you find balance and peace.  We also get real about the challenges he faces in his practice and how he navigates them, plus a peek into his favorite thing he's been teaching over the past 30 years.
