YIN-YANG YOGA: STRETCHING INTO STILLNESS
We will explore both practices of passive (yin) and active (yang) yoga. This combination of yoga practices consciously paired with mindful awareness will allow you to explore your boundaries, experience the present moment, and gently expand yourself beyond what was previously known.
The opening Yin sequence of long held floor poses will encourage calm abiding (samatha) and loving-kindness (metta) and along with pranayama investigation, will open your body and enliven your mind for meditation. A slow flow vinyasa class will follow allowing you to develop a moving meditation.
Note that a dharma talk will be given during the yin practice on applying Buddha’s Four Foundations of Mindfulness to your yoga practice. Class will close with metta meditation.
