evening workshop with Sarah Powers, March 9, 2010
Each day we will explore the physical and energetic details of
Yin Yoga, deepening our understanding of our vital energy (Prana
or Qi), while understanding how this practice affects the
meridian system and specific organs to enhance an overall
harmony of being.
We will also uncover the emotional component, learning how
the health of our organ system is intimately connected with
balancing our emotional body. Finally, we will look into the
effect of this practice on calming and freeing the mind
using Buddhist Mindfulness meditation.
Sarah will also be teaching about the 4 foundations of
Mindfulness through both practice and theory, with an
interest in gathering the tools to share these practices
with others.
This intensive is suitable for those who want to teach these
practices as well as those who are simply interested in
deepening their understanding of Yin yoga and
meditation.Please come with a basic understanding of the
practices by having read Insight Yoga by Sarah Powers, Yin
Yoga by Paul Grilley and Mindfulness in Plain English by
Bante Gunaratana. It is also highly recommended that you
listen to Sarah’s audio tape Yin Yoga, and view Sarah’s dvds,
Yoga, Yin and Vinyasa, and Insight Yoga.
Sarah Powers
began 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.
Sarah and her husband Ty Powers live in the San Francisco
bay area and have created the
Insight Yoga
Institute which offers 720 hour trainings with other
renowned teachers blending yoga, buddhism and psychology.
She is also co-founder of
Metta
Journeys 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). To learn more
