Practicing with Sarah Powers
This two day workshop will focus on long
held, passive Yin postures that prepare the
body for sitting meditation. The Yin style
also keeps the body supple at its core while
encouraging stagnate chi (prana) to flow
throughout the joints, making it a wonderful
precursor to meditation. During the Yin
session, Sarah will share how the YIn
practice can develop our meditative
awareness, helping us understand and practice
Buddhist Mindfulness more skillfuly. A seated
meditation session will follow the yoga
practice.
This workshop is suitable for anyone
interested in taking their practice to an
increased level of awareness and stillness,
both inside and out.
Sarah Powers began teaching in 1987. She
interweaves the insights and practices of
Yoga and Buddhism into an integral practice
to enliven the body, heart and mind. Her yoga
style blends both a Yin sequence of long held
poses to enhance the meridian and organ
systems, combined with a flow or Yang
practice, influenced by Viniyoga, Ashtanga,
and Iyengar teachings. Sarah feels that
enlivening the physical and pranic bodies, as
well as learning to open to our emotional
difficulties 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. Sarah is
author of the upcoming book Insight Yoga. She
is also co-founder of Metta Journeys, a
service oriented organization that offers
yoga retreats internationally while also
helping to empower women and children in
developing countries. She teaches trainings
and silent retreats with her husband Ty. They
live with their home schooled teen-age
daughter Imani-Jade in Marin, California.
