spring cleansing yin yoga workshop: saturday, 17 april 2010

i am happy to announce that there will be a spring cleansing yin yoga workshop next saturday, 17 april, taught by kathy paez. the workshop will be from 11am – 1:30pm and the cost is 30 euros (25 euros for students of casaAbhyasa or for those who have done a workshop with us previously).

it is necessary to reserve in advance as space is limited: kathypaez@gmail.com or 617 672 872.

*In this workshop, we will explore movements that help to unblock and purify the liver and pancreas. You will learn which emotions relate to these organs and why it is necessary to strengthen and balance them out in Spring.
*We will also focus on opening the hips and the meridians (energy lines) which run through the abductors and inner thighs.
*We will end the session with the mandala namaskar and a guided relaxation.
*Yin Yoga is mainly composed of Hatha yoga postures, which are passively held for 2 to 7 minutes. Its main objective is to stretch fascia and connective tissue, to explore range of motion from the joints, and to open certain energy channels.

if you have never tried yin yoga, i hope that you will do so, because it can be a nice complementary experience to the ashtanga yoga practice. i find the static nature of yin yoga to be a very powerful practice which works on many subtle, different levels physically, mentally, and emotionally. i hope that you will take advantage of this unique opportunity and to see you in the workshop!

take care and see you soon! much love and peace... namaste, hojung
