Yin & Yang

Yoga DAy Retreat

Gathering and Storing CHI

 

Hatha Yoga translates to the yoga of activity (the physical postures) and to the yoga of balance: HA (sun) THA (moon). Over the course of the day, through Yin and Yang yoga, we will meet and engaged with ourselves from the top of our heads to the tips of our toes. We will feel into, strengthen, and stretch our entire bodies. All of this will be done in a spirit of curiosity and compassion. Yoga means to unite. Through our continued practice, we develop insights and tools that help us feel connected to ourselves and each other for more authentic, balanced, compassionate living.

Yin with a splash of Yang

Yoga DAy Retreat

Being with the body and mind

We will take a journey through our entire body stimulating the 12 primary meridians. The  morning workshop focuses on gathering Chi/Prana.  We will do shorter holds and pranayama.  In the afternoon, we will be storing our gathered Chi/Prana through surrender to stillness and quiet. Over the course of the day, we will stretch, contract, and compress our bodies in order to be more fully engaged with them. This workshop will offer us tools and insight into how to meet our bodies and minds as they are with openness and creativity allowing for more authentic, compassionate living.

What is Yin Yoga:

Yin yoga is a still, slow form of yoga. Postures are done sitting or lying and are held for 2 to 5 minutes long.  It is the vital balance needed to an active, dynamic, and muscular yoga practice or life style. Yin targets the fascia (connective tissue) and meridians, creating more ease throughout the body, especially in your joints. It is extremely helpful for relieving back pain and loss of flexibility. Yin yoga helps us to achieve and maintain our own personal range of motion. By activating the meridians and the parasympathetic nervous system, it calms our body and minds.  It relieves stress and tension in the physical body. It opens us up to the depth of our emotional body, providing us with time and space to hold and digest our emotions. Through yin's natural meditative qualities, it helps still the mind allowing for more clarity of thought and insight.
