Yin Yoga Workshop w Scott Farber

This three hour "masterclass" workshop is an introduction to the principles and practice of Yin Yoga. It is designed for beginners as well as experienced students and yoga teachers. This increasingly popular style offers an antidote to our fast paced, stressful lifestyle and a counterbalance to our culture's emphasis on "yang" forms of yoga and exercise. Holding postures in a relaxed way for a few minutes allows the body to come into a passive stretch and the mind to drop into stillness. Yin practice improves joint mobility, reshapes the fascia, calms the nervous system, assists recovery from injury, promotes healthy aging and even enhances athletic performance. A variety of yin postures will be explored (including hip openers, legs-up-the wall, meditative asanas, prone and supine poses, standing yin, restorative poses, etc.), all with optional modifications and variations. We'll experiment with the creative use of various props to relax into the poise of the pose. There will be two complete sadhanas (practice sessions) with a brief discussion of yin philosophy and yin anatomy during the intermission. The workshop will end with a special healing Yoga Nidra Meditation and Sound Bath.
