What is this special about?

A better idea than my own is to listen. Mark Twain

This 2 hour special invites us to listen deeply. Yin Yoga is a practice that allows us to turn inward. While becoming silent and still, we can listen to the stories our body holds. When we practice to become present and aware of what is, we naturally foster our ability to be present for ourselves as well as for the people around us. In this special we make space to practice in community, share in the circle and to listen to each other.

We spend much of our lives, immersed in noise and external information. In this gathering we will open the windows of our natural internal refuge, where we are invited to slow down, to integrate, to digest and to remember of the simple and profound gift of just being.

Close the door TO WORDS, open the window to love. The moon won’t come in the door only the window. Rumi

We are looking forward to sharing a Yin Yoga practice with you, to practice listening in community and through mindful rituals to share our experiences within the beauty of our sacred circle.

What is Yin Yoga?

The heart of the Yin Yoga practice is not about specific structures, dogmas or even poses. It’s about the experience we have during this practice. It’s not about how we look when we practice and how we perform which postures. It’s about being truly present with ourselves and being able to peacefully perceive what is happening at the moment.

Yin Yoga is an externally calm practice that allows body work and inner work to meet and merge integratively. A fusion of yoga and meditation that sows calm,

patience and humor in us. We stay in a physical position for a while to observe how a space opens up and to listen to what our body has to tell us, because we give the body enough space and time to soften and let go while respecting our own boundaries. Many people experience a feeling of deep physical relaxation and detachment during and after the Yin practice. Thanks to the gentle and longer practiced postures, the effect reaches into the deeper connective tissue, which is not often reached with other physical yoga practices. On an energetic level, Yin Yoga encourages the flow of energy and can help release blockages and create positive health effects, so that we feel more powerful, balanced and relaxed again.
