About Event:

In this workshop you will be led through a Vinyasa flow Yang practice to warm up the body, including Sun Salutations, twists, backends, standing and seated poses in the morning and a restful Yin practice in the afternoon.

The smooth flowing sequences of Vinyasa synchronises movement with the breath, which energises the body and benefits both self-awareness and mindfulness. You’ll develop a stronger body-mind connection and an increased sense of strength and flexibility.

The longer held poses of Yin yoga, which are seated or supine poses, target the deep connective tissue and the fascia which allows you to release muscular tension. This practice calms the nervous system so you can surrender into a deeper sense of relaxation for your body and mind.

About Teacher:

Annie McGhee is a long-term Tibetan Buddhist student and yoga teacher.

Venerable Kartson, Chenrezig Institute’s interpreter extraordinaire, will be leading us in a morning meditation on the body and mind, bringing a wonderful dimension to our day. When this type of meditation is practiced together with yoga, it allows us to slow down and open more deeply, to calmly acknowledge our thoughts, emotions and physical sensations in and out of our yoga practice.

Suitable for all levels.

Please bring your own mat and bolster and wear comfortable, modest clothing.
