Insight Yoga Intensive (CLASS FULL)
A daylong Intensive with Sarah Powers
Integrating the body, heart and mind through Yoga, Mindfulness Meditation, Interpersonal Communication, and Emotional Work
Deer Run Zendo
Corte Madera, Marin, CA
Skillful yoga and Mindfulness meditation practices orient our center of gravity in the center of our being, aligning our attention with our inner life, helping us relate to others and the world around us with more care and aliveness.
This workshop is intended to strengthen our capacity for clear and sustained body/mind integration within ourselves regardless of what is arising, as a means to deepen our integral connection with others.
In the morning, we will practice a 2 and 1/2 hour yin and yang (alignment based flow) asana practice, followed by a half hour meditation, conducted mainly in silence (Sarah will practice with us), to allow ourselves to fully inhabit our personal experience in our body and mind. (Please come with a basic understanding of these practices already and know that each person will be able to practice in a way that is appropriate for them). After lunch, our afternoon will begin with exploring the foundations of mindfulness meditation through instruction and practice, followed by interpersonal dialogue, interspersed with moments of reconnecting back into meditation. These practices will often trigger insights into emotional patterns, and we will work with these issues using visualization toward the end of the day.
You can think of this daylong as a nonresidential retreat day, allowing you to realign with an invigorated, compassionate and wise attitude toward yourself so that you can authentically carry your connectedness and insights off the mat into a meaningful and intimate attitude toward daily living.

Sarah's Bio
Sarah has been teaching Yoga since in 1987. She leads workshops, trainings and silent retreats internationally that interweave 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 meditative 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 yoga. She draws from her studies in Transpersonal Psychology, as well as her in-depth training in the Vipassana, Tantric and Dzogchen practices of Buddhism. In 2007 she co-founded Metta Journeys, a service oriented organization that offers yoga retreats internationally to help women and children in developing countries.
