Yin Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation:
A Master Class
Tuesday evening, October 21,
6 - 8:30 pm
Open to all students, all levels
Tuesday night: $50
Full payment required with registration
This evening workshop will focus on long held, passive Yin
postures that prepare the body for sitting meditation. Yin
Yoga is an essential complement to the more active styles of
yoga as it helps restore depleted energy while allowing us to
relax into our bodies in an effortless way. The Yin style also
keeps the body supple at its core, while encouraging stagnate
chi (prana) to flow throughout the joints and meridians,
restoring and revitalizing the organ system. Sarah will
present an explanation of this practice while we are in the
poses. Drawing from Buddhist themes, she will also describe
the purpose and method and of Mindfulness Meditation and allow
time for this practice after the Yin session.
This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in taking
their practice to an increased level of awareness and
stillness, both inside and out, and is mandatory for those
taking the upcoming Yin training with Sarah.Sarah Powers began teaching in 1987. She interweaves the insights and
practices of Yoga and Buddhism into an integral practice to
enliven the body, heart and mind. Her yoga style blends both a
Yin sequence of long held poses to enhance the meridian and
organ systems, combined with a flow or Yang practice,
influenced by Viniyoga, Ashtanga, and Iyengar teachers and
teachings. Sarah feels that enlivening the physical and pranic
bodies as well as opening to our emotional afflictions is
paramount for preparing one to deepen and nourish insights
into one's essential nature--a natural state of awareness. She
draws from her study of Transpersonal Psychology as well as
her in-depth training in the Vipassana, Tantric and Dzogchen
practices of Buddhismm. She teaches both training's and silent
retreats with her husband Ty. They live with their teen-age
daughter Imani Jade in Marin, California.
