Yin Yoga Weekend with Sarah PowersAs we study and practice yoga, we are learning to inhabit our bodies, hearts and minds in an authentic way. Naturally, our daily yoga practice becomes the environment where we restore and enhance our energy, but it can also serve as the vehicle for acknowledging and opening to patterns of resistance that we habitually struggle with or have split off from in ourselves. These emotional afflictions obscure our compassionate awareness and are the source of our suffering. It is essential that we bring them onto the yogic path and work with them skillfully. In this workshop we will join with Sarah to engage in a balanced Asana practice, Yin and Yang (flow), followed by a mindfulness meditation session, encouraging an inner atmosphere of embodied ease and alertness. We will come together again over the weekend for a discussion about emotional patterns, followed by an inner visualization practice that will personify our inner obstacles, helping us forge a conscious relationship with them. With support, we can learn to turn towards and learn from these oppressive parts of ourself, freeing us to relax into a natural state of openness and awareness. This workshop is appropriate for anyone with at least 2 years of a committed yoga practice and those who are also strongly interested in meditative awareness. If you are not familiar with the Yin practice and Mindfulness meditation please see Sarah's DVD Insight Yoga before the workshop.
