Yin Yoga Workshop - Relax into Ease
with Josh Summers
Saturday

1 - 4pm
$50
Within the contemplative practice of Yin Yoga, we will explore the full implications of the word 'relaxation'. As the guiding intention of our meditative inquiry, relaxation will usher us into our conditioned points of resistance, opening us, ultimately, to a dimension of authenticity and ease.
Yin Yoga:
Yin Yoga is a complementary yoga practice to the more dynamic and invigorating yoga styles that are predominant today. In Yin Yoga, floor postures are held passively for several minutes in order to access a safe and positive 'stress' on the deep layers of connective tissue in the body. Physically, Yin Yoga restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints, primarily between the navel and the knees. Energetically, Yin Yoga opens the body's meridian system, which enhances the body's energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium. And as this practice emphasizes stillness and silence, Yin Yoga prepares both the body and the mind for deeper experiences in meditation
