Moving
Into Meditation
Yin/Yang Yoga and
Mindfulness Meditation
A Workshop with Sarah
Powers
Incorporating a daily
yoga and meditation practice into our life keeps
Yin yoga is an essential
compliment to our more active styles andoffers
a vehicle to develop our contemplative nature. The Yin style
also keeps the body supple at its core while encouraging stagnate chi (prana)
to flow throughout the joints, engendering a quality of steady ease.The flowpractice helps maintain a
core stability while enhancing our creative,active
energy. This workshop will focus on the integration of our Yinand Yang aspects of being, creating a practice
that values bothvitality and insight. A
guided and silent mindfulness meditation willfollow
the yoga sessions.
This workshop is
suitable for anyone who has been doing Yoga for at least one
Sarah Powersbegan teaching in 1987. She is the founder and
author of Insight Yoga, which interweaves the insights and practices of Yoga,
Buddhism, Chinese medicine, and Transpersonal Psychology into an integral
practice to enliven the body, heart and mind. Her yoga style blends both a Yin
sequence of floor poses to enhance the meridian and organ systems, combined
with an alignment-based slow flow or Yang practice, influenced by Viniyoga,
Ashtanga, and Iyengar teachings. Sarah feels that enlivening the physical and
pranic bodies, as well as learning to open to our emotional difficulties is
paramount for preparing one to deepen and nourish insights into one's essential
nature--a natural state of awareness. She draws from her studies in
Transpersonal Psychology, as well as her in-depth training in the Vipassana,
Tantric and Dzogchen practices of Buddhism. Her main teachers are Tsoknyi
Rinpoche, Jennifer Welwood, Lama Tsultrim Allione, and Lama Pema Dorje.
Sarah and her husband Ty Powers live in the San Francisco bay area and have created the Insight Yoga Institutewhich offers 720 hour trainings with other renowned teachers blending yoga, buddhism and psychology (www.insightyogainstitute.com). She is also co-founder of Metta Journeys (www.mettajourneys.com),a service oriented organization that offers yoga retreats internationally to help women and children in developing countries. Sarah is the author of the book Insight Yoga (Shambhala Publications).

PRAJNA YOGA, UNWINDING AND THE MIDDLE WAY with Tias Little
$55 PER SESSION, $150 FOR ALL THREE.ATTEND BOTH SARAH POWERS IN JUNE & TIAS LITTLE IN AUGUST & RECEIVE 10% DISCOUNT.
************************************************
Description of Tias' Workshop in August.
This is just a description of Tias workshop.. I thought you'd find it interesting.
The
Middle Way is a place free from extremes, extremes that polarize and
isolate and cause imbalance. The Middle Way path is accessible
mystically and physiologically as our central axis through the body.
One of the names for the mid line is the Madhya Nadi or middle channel.
This class works deep with the spine—the vertebrae, the discs and
surrounding musculature-- to harmonize and illuminate the central
channel. Friday Afternoon - Freeing the Foundation: Feet, Ankles and Knees A yoga practice begins with the feet, for the feet are the foundation to the temple of the body. This class guides students to activate their feet, initially by lying on the back and then in standing poses. We explore the architecture of the foot and review common strain patterns that reside in the feet and ankles. An invaluable class for yoga teachers to learn to help students activate their arches and stabilize their knees. Saturday Morning - Unwinding the Low Back Lower back compression is so common in our culture-- 85% of our society suffers from low back pain at some point in their lives. Typically this pain is due to asymmetrical strain patterns, i.e excess tightness one one side of the body. The class aims to release constriction in the lumbar and sacral area through gliding and rocking and stretching movements. In particular, our aim is to unglue the tightness in the muscles, tendons and ligaments by irrigating blood into the lower spine and sacrum. Saturday Afternoon - Unwinding the Neck and Shoulders I always joke with my students that chiropractors make their living adjusting imbalances in the neck given that neck pain is so common! This class is aimed to release foreshortening in the neck muscles and compression around the nerves and discs of the neck region. Neck pain frequently results in headaches, insomnia, jaw strain and fatigue. Given that the neck is so tied into the shoulders, this class will address the ways that neck tension is coupled with shoulder restriction. We will use non-force Tias Little brings to his teaching a wonderful play of metaphor and imagination . He is trained in Iyengar and Ashtanga vinyasa yoga and his perspective clearly reflects the Buddha's teachings. Tias has been a student of Dzogchen practice of Tibetan Buddhism since 2003 studying with Tsoknyi Rinpoche, and he has practiced Zen meditation since 1992. Tias’ teaching specializes in yoga and anatomy, blending both Western and Eastern perspectives. He is a licensed massage therapist, has studied extensively in cranial-sacral therapy and Somatics. Tias earned a Masters degree in Eastern Philosophy from St. John’s College. He currently directs Prajna Yoga in Santa Fe New Mexico with his wife Surya and leads yoga intensives both nationally and internationally. |
