Yin yoga is much more than holding the poses for long periods, it's about revealing our true nature and understanding the energetic pathways of the body (meridians).

This 30-hour training held over two weekends is designed for both yoga teachers and dedicated yoga practitioners to deepen their Yin yoga practice and knowledge. The training explores Yin anatomy, sequencing, safety in postures, meridian theory, and mindfulness.

The long-held postures of Yin yoga provide a welcome contrast to the more modern Western world dynamic Yang dominated practices. Yin creates the space to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) and the longer holds work to unwind the body’s deeper layers of fascia and joints.

#MindfulMonday: Your first priority should be to find your own quiet space inside so you can learn more about yourself. This includes getting to know and understand your own suffering. When your practice is solid and you’ve already harvested some of the sweet fruits of getting to know yourself, you can consider ways you can make more room to bring silence, deep looking, understanding, and compassion into your work or community. - Thich Nhat Hanh

Siddhartha, the man who became the Buddha many years ago in India, sat for a long time at the foot of the Bodhi tree. He appeared just to be sitting, but his body was also participating in his awakening. He was very closely observing his body, his feelings, and his perceptions. As he continued to practice, his power of mindfulness and concentration became stronger and stronger. One day at dawn, as the Morning Star appeared, he felt a liberation that dissipated all the darkness within him. That was the moment of enlightenment. - Thich Nhat Hanh, in “How to Sit”
The busiest time of year is approaching, the holidays 🎄✨ As we merge our holiday obligations with life commitments, we can often feel overwhelmed. Yoga is the perfect tool for self care during this busy time. On our FB, we share 10 reasons why you should practice #YinYoga - especially when you're too busy! "My personal yin practice has become essential to recharge and give back to my body, mind, and spirit. Yin is an introspective practice that offers a chance to turn inward and nurture the calm, quiet center that is innate in all of us. It is a practice in stillness, patience, and non-reactivity. Through yin yoga we become adept at self-care. We become better listeners with practice tuning in; we become wiser as we get to know ourselves from the inside out; and we become more curious about the world through the exploration of our own inner worlds."
