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 Yoga Workshop:
Cultivating Awareness:
Body, Mind & Heart
​
Through yin yoga and mindfulness meditation, we will explore ways to open ourselves up to all that we are. Instead of continuing on automatic pilot, doing our best to get from one thing to the next, we will pause, soften, and connect. We will tune into our bodies through long held yin postures. This time in stillness will also give us a chance to lean into our minds and hearts; seeing/feeling/being with how they really are at this moment. With curiosity and kindness, we will explore our complexity and depth. These practices, although challenging, offer us more energy and space to fully meet the joys and sorrows of life. They bring more vividness and ease into our physical, emotional, and mental lives.
​
Morning Session: 10:00-13:30
Mindfullness Meditation:
Softening into now through (Anapanasati) breath awareness
​
Landing in the belly:
Through shorter held yin postures, we will feel into our lower body. We will tune into our intuitive center: the Hara. Cultivating our awareness of what is here at the moment.
​
Tea break
​
Landing in the heart and mind:
In this class, we will focus on upper body. This practice releases tensions in the shoulders and neck and also opens the chest: stimulating chi flow in the heart and lungs. It helps us breathe smoother, allowing our body to go from fight and flight (sympathetic nervous system) to rest and digest (parasympathetic nervous system).
​
13:30 - 15:00 Lunch break
Lovely cafes nearby for a delicious meal.
​
Afternoon Session:
15:00-18:30
Mindfullness Meditation:
Opening ourselves to now through (vipassana) inquiry meditation
​
Feeling the body, heart and mind:
We will slow down into long held yin postures that help open the front and back of the body. In the stillness of the postures, we will engage in inquiry practices and visualizations.
​
Tea break
​
Surrendering into stillness and silence:
Continuing with long yin holds, we will twist and practice hip openers to target the middle layer of the body. We will allow the power of the physical practice and silence to do their magic.
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 lifestyle. 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.
