Insight Yoga is a body/mind yogic path of awareness that
creates a regular vehicle for insights to occur. It draws
from the wisdom of Yoga, Buddhism, Chinese medicine and
Transpersonal psychology. Insight Yoga involves 4 main
quadrants of development that are each interdependent: the
body, the heart, the mind, and relationships.
For the body we engage in a regular active and receptive (or
Yin/Yang) asana practice that is designed to develop and
maintain pliancy in the muscles as well as the joints, to
increase strength and vitality in all the systems of the
body, and to cultivate a sensitivity to, and a re-balancing
and refinement of the energy body- the gateway to the
experience of an ease of being.
Sarah will give a brief talk describing how to integrate the
body, heart, mind, and relational awareness into our regular
practice and then following a slow flow sequence, we will
drop into a nourishing Yin practice, where Sarah will focus
on mindfulness methods for cultivating insight, ending with
a meditation practice.
This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in going
deeper into the contemplative, meditative aspects of yoga.Sarah Powers
began teaching in 1987. She interweaves 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 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 teachings.
Sarah feels that enlivening the physical and pranic bodies,
as well as learning to open to our emotional afflictions 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.
She is co-founder of Metta Journeys, a service oriented
organization that offers yoga retreats internationally to
help women and children in developing countries. She also
teaches trainings and silent retreats with her husband Ty.
She is author of the book Insight Yoga: Integrating Yin/Yang
Yoga and Buddhist Meditation. For more information on her
