Yin Yoga is a wonderful practice of physical peace and release, connecting the energetic meridians of traditional Chinese Medicine with India’s yoga postures, concentrating both mind and body to release tension in the connective tissues. Not necessarily a ‘beginner’ form, it can be more accessible because many of the postures are close to the ground, with less physical demand to hold poses. Instead of more active yoga poses like in Ashtanga or Vinyasa, this Yang approach strengthens and lengthens by targeting the dense, connective tissue that holds our organs in place as well as connect our muscles and bones at our joints. This serene, more limber space creates a safe container for practitioners to Let Go. Let go of what? Physical tension in the body as well as well the mental idea of needing to control anything at all. During this very special practice weekend, Rebecca will lead us with poetry, prose and gentle poses. (Note: a line or two or whatever works from you here would be Great R). Guided meditations focused on the purification of the senses — hearing, smelling, tasting, smelling and tender touch — will help bridge the gap between attendees and the natural world. And simple, delicious meals will, as always, help nurture our physical forms. Come, listen to Rebecca as well as your own body, create a feeling of energetic well-being, and enjoy a peaceful weekend and place for restoration and release.
