yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga incorporating principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine with poses that are held for longer periods of time (3-5 min.).

In this workshop we will study the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. "Sutra" literally means "thread" and with almost 200 Sutras in four sections, there is a tapestry woven for a more meaningful and purposeful life. We will begin with an overview on the history of the teachings and then dive into each section, exploring individual Sutras as well as the overall message and meaning.

As students of this course, you are encouraged to bookmark Sutras that are meaningful to you so that we can bring your thoughts into discussion as we explore these teachings and how this scientific study of the mind is relevant in our lives today.

MALA – Mala beads are a type of prayer and meditation bead. Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Catholicism all have a variation of prayer beads (‘worry beads’ or rosary). In today’s practice, most are used as a form of meditation without religious affiliation.
MANDALA – in Hindu and Buddhist faiths, mandalas are a symbolic diagram used in the performance of sacred rites and as an instrument of meditation.
COLORING – Coloring has been proven to calm the brain and help your body relax. Sitting down for a coloring session can be compared to a physical yoga practice (asana) as the same mind-body connection.
