Insight Yoga is a body/mind yogic path of awareness that incorporates asana, pranayama, and mindfulness meditation mingled with the practices of loving-kindness. It draws from the wisdom of yoga, Buddhism, Taoism and spiritual psychology. When integrated regularly, these disciplines encourage stability and mobility in the body, relaxation mingled with alertness in the mind, and genuine care and kindness toward ourselves and others.

Workshop

In this special 1-day workshop, Sarah will outline how these practices create an integrated path of awareness, helping us appreciate how our time spent developing the inner life can broaden and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us, laying a foundation for living with greater ease and insight.

Daily Schedule

09:00 - 11:30	Dynamic sequences focusing on balancing the upper with the lower body, followed by mindfulness meditation
14:00 - 16:30	Yin yoga sequences for the kidneys and liver, pranayama and a loving kindness meditation practice

Teacher Training Intensive:

An in-depth exploration of Yin/Yang Yoga & Mindfulness Meditation

Don’t miss Sarah Powers’ only teacher training intensive to be held in Asia in 2012!

This intensive will deepen one's ability to teach both a receptive Yin style and an active flow or Yang style of yoga with an interest in promoting an conducive inner environment for meditation. Please come with a basic understanding of the practices, and a strong interest in committing to the further exploration of both yoga and meditation.

This course is intended to deepen one’s understanding of the experiential, philosophical and practical application of yoga and meditation. It is intended for those with at least 1.5 years or more of consistent practice and who have some experience in Yin yoga. It is also strongly recommended that you have a dedication to the yogic path and are currently teaching. Students must have a copy of Sarah’s book Insight Yoga (which has been translated into Chinese).

In this training we will explore:

• Yin Yoga- how, why and when to practice this style safely and effectively
• Organ health and Yoga practice (sequences for the kidneys, liver, etc.)
• Balancing the Yin style with a Yang practice to support structural strength and stability
• Proper physical alignment in active postures
• The primary focus of ujjayi breath in asana: length, depth and direction
• Mindfulness in asana.
• Sequencing of postures for various levels, from the beginner to the intermediate.
• How to assist those with injuries
• The use of touch and hands-on adjustments
• Skillful verbal communication
• The teacher/student relationship

Each day will include 2 hours on Yin Yoga, 2 hours on Yang Yoga, and 2 hours on Mindfulness Meditation

About Sarah Powers

Sarah Powers began teaching in 1987. She is the founder and author of Insight Yoga, which interweaves the insights and practices of Yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, and Transpersonal Psychology into an integral practice to discover and enliven the body, heart and mind. Her yoga style blends both a Yin sequence of floor poses to enhance the meridian and organ systems, combined with an alignment-based slow flow or Yang practice, influenced by Viniyoga, Ashtanga, Iyengar teachings, and QIgong. Sarah feels that enlivening the physical and pranic bodies, as well as learning to open to our psychological patterns is paramount for preparing one to deepen and nourish insights into one's essential nature--a natural state of awareness. She draws from her studies in Transpersonal Psychology, as well as her in-depth training in the Vipassana, Tantric and Dzogchen practices of Buddhism. Her main teachers are Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Jennifer Welwood, Lama Tsultrim Allione, and Lama Pema Dorje.

Sarah and her husband Ty Powers live in the San Francisco bay area and have created the Insight Yoga Institute which offers 500+ hour trainings with other renowned teachers blending yoga, buddhism and psychology.
