Sha-La Studios - Berlin -2 Day Workshop Yin/Insight Yoga with Sarah Powers

September 5, 6 2026.  2 Day Workshop in Berlin at Sha-La Studios, Prenzlauer Berg

Yin yoga is an essential compliment to our more active styles and offers a vehicle to develop our contemplative nature. The Yin style keeps the body supple at its core while encouraging stagnate chi (prana) to flow throughout the joints, engendering a quality of steady ease.
Incorporating a daily meditation practice into our life keeps us attuned to the importance of living ordinary moments with
awareness. Nevertheless, even the most dedicated practitioners hit
plateaus and need opportunities to become re-inspired. In this
workshop Sarah will provide an atmosphere for balancing the body and mind through Yin yoga poses, as well as
offering teachings on Mindfulness meditation so that we can understand better how these two essential disciplines complement and enhance each other.

Saturday we will focus on poses for the digestive system and calming the mind.
Sunday the emphasis will be on energizing our body and mind with kidney backbends and inclusive awareness practice.


Please come with a basic understanding of Yin Yoga and Mindfulness having practiced some of these methods before, and being familiar with Sarah’s books, Insight Yoga, and Lit From Within.

Sarah Powers is the co-founder of the Insight Yoga Institute as well as the author of Insight Yoga and Lit from Within, which interweaves Yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, and Transpersonal psychology into an integrated practice to enliven the body, heart, and mind. Sarah has been teaching for 30+ years, blending both a Yin sequence of long-held floor poses to enhance the meridian and organ systems while often engaging in inquiry practice, with a mindfully-based flow yoga practice. Sarah is trained in both Psychosynthesis and the Internal Family Systems psychological models, and has been a student of spiritual psychology for over 35 years. She draws from her education and participation in long retreats in the Vipassana, Tantric and Dzogchen practices of Buddhism.
