August 3-12, 2012
For teachers and dedicated practitioners with at least 2 years of yoga experience and a strong interest in meditation.
Deepen your understanding of the experiential, philosophical, and practical application of yoga and Buddhist meditation. This intensive draws from Sarah’s book Insight Yoga and will train you in both a receptive yin style and an active slow flow or yang style of yoga, while also focusing on the theory and practice of Mindfulness meditation. We will explore:
~ How, why, and when to practice Yin Yoga safely and effectively
~ Ways to balance the yin style with a slow flow (yang) practice
~ Physical and subtle alignment in yogic postures
~ Yin Yoga sequences for organ health
~ The Four Foundations of Mindfulness meditation
~ Cultivation of the breath body
~ Assisting those with injuries
~ The use of touch and hands-on adjustments
~ Skillful verbal instruction
~ Subtle body anatomy according to yogic and Chinese philosophy
~ Buddhist psychology.
Please come with a basic understanding of the practices by reviewing the materials listed below.
