This workshop will focus on long held, passive Yin postures that prepare the body for sitting meditation as well as a strong flow style.
The Yin style also keeps the body supple at its core while encouraging stagnate chi (prana) to flow throughout the joints.

Friday evening will focus exclusively on the Yin and mindfulness disciplines.

Further explanation of these practices will be given while in the Yin poses on Saturday and Sunday. Time will also be devoted to the teachings of the 4 Foundations of Mindfulness, tools for developing meditative awareness. A Yang (flow) style asana practice will follow, geared toward strengthening the core while encouraging ease and grace in movement. After pranayama, we will leave time for a meditation session.

This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in taking their practice to an increased level of awareness and stillness, both inside and out.

Sarah Powers has been teaching since 1987. She blends the insights and practices of Yoga and Buddhism to create an integral practice. She incorporates both a Yin style of holding poses which emphasizes the balancing of Ch’i in the meridians and organs, and a Vinyasa style of moving with the breath, blending essential aspects of the Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Viniyoga traditions. Pranayama is also included in her practice and classes. Sarah has been a student of Buddhism in both Asia and the U.S. She has been inspired by such teachers as Jack Kornfield in the Theravadin tradition (Vipassana), Toni Packer, whose roots stem from the choiceless awareness of the Zen tradition, while Tsoknyi Rinpoche is her Tibetan teacher. She also draws inspiration from the Self Inquiry of the Advaita Vedanta philosophy. She lives in Marin, California with her husband Ty, where she homeschools her daughter Imani Jade while teaching yoga and meditation classes.
