This 5-day intensive has been designed for students of yoga who wish to increase their understanding of the yin practice, and for teachers aspiring to gain knowledge of yin postures and philosophy. We will discuss and examine topics such as chi, Taoism, yin/yang, anatomy, Chinese meridians, chakras and meditation. Practicum will explore how to move through postures to help deepen your practice and adapt it to the personal needs of students. This includes working with modifications and variations, as well as building sequences around the seasons, anatomical features, and Chinese meridians.
Join me for this weekly, donation-based Yin Yoga class. We will explore breathwork, unique sequences and pose modifications to adapt the experience to your needs and preferences. I am grateful to share this somatic-based practice with you every Sunday, from my living room to yours!
