Course Description

The ability to gather together and be with teachings and practices, silence, nature and each other quietly is a great privilege and something many of us have been without for far too long. We are looking forward to welcoming each of you.

We will practice many sessions of meditation coupled with Yin and Yang Yoga, time for hiking and swimming, sauna and massage, partner inquiry sessions, gourmet plant based meals (with some dairy options), as well as private and small group sessions with Sarah or Ty for each participant.

The teachings will emphasize the heart opening methods inspired by the 7 points of Mind Training taught by Atisha, an 11th century Indian Yogi who spent his later years transforming the Tibetan Buddhist views on compassion and awareness as lived in everyday life. These down to earth teachings have been widely followed for centuries, earning Atisha at the time the nickname ’Sublime teacher of impulsive behavior and its results.’

In advance of the retreat, you may enjoy reading, Always Maintain A Joyful Mind by Pema Chodron, Sarah’s new book Lit From Within as well as viewing Sarah’s teachings on Opening the Mind Lojong 1-6.
We look forward to each of you being able to drop in, open up, and dive deep as you ignite and reclaim the profound resources dwelling within you.

Yin/Insight Yoga Training Level 1 (YA 60 hours)

Essential teachings on Yin Yoga and Mindfulness mingled with active Yang Yoga sequences

For Dedicated practitioners and Teachers.

NON RESIDENTIAL

Students will be responsible for booking their own accommodations. Here are some accommodations available suggested by Radiantly Alive. There are wonderful cafes and restaurants all over Ubud as well. 

   Description

This 8-day non-residential training with Sarah Powers is intended to deepen one’s understanding of the experiential, philosophical and practical applications of Yin/Yang yoga and Buddhist meditation. It is intended for those with at least two years of practice or more, and will benefit anyone interested in cultivating their own Yin practice and/or deepening their teaching, with detailed instruction and time devoted to the practice and teaching of Mindfulness Meditation.

Please come with a basic understanding of Yin Yoga (read Sarah’s book Insight Yoga), as well as a strong interest in committing to the further exploration of both the energetics of Yin yoga, and the skilful practices of Mindfulness meditation.

REGISTRATIONS OPEN:

Yin/Insight Yoga: Mingling Yoga/Psychology/Buddhism

Yin /Yang Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation

A 3-day workshop with Sarah Powers

Saturday morning we will explore the value of interweaving Yin/Yang practices on the body, with a focus on developing our earth chi, engendering strength and stability in the lower body. We will also focus on yin poses specifically helpful for our digestive organs, the stomach and spleen. We will also explore the Buddhist discipline of Mindfulness in the body as an attitude of kind, clear attention. 

Saturday afternoon, Sarah will emphasize the cultivation of the subtle body both in a Yin yoga practice (focusing on poses to support our personal health and immunity through nourishing the Kidney channels), and in the seated position through pranayama. We will also explore how to envision living our lives with an abundance of loving-kindness with the practice of Maitri in a guided visualization.  

Sunday morning Sarah will emphasize the idea of Compassion, exploring ways we might  practice the art of moving toward rather than away from that which we usually seek to avoid, learning to loosen our self grasping tendencies while softening our patterns of resistance. When we bring compassion (karuna) toward our habits of aversion, we cultivate the capacity to meet all of life wholeheartedly. We will also practice backbends in both Yin and Yang ways (receptive and active) opening the chest area both energetically and physically, while focusing on the liver channels as well. A seated meditation practice will be offered as well. 

This workshop is suitable for anyone with at least one year experience in yoga with some understanding of the Yin practice, either through reading Insight Yoga , going to a few yin yoga classes, or having seen Sarah’s videos or online material.

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 (IFS) psychological models. She 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.

Join us in the beautiful Lake region of Northern Italy.

Mandali is situated at 850 metres above sea level, high on a hill with a stunning view of the lake. All the rooms are beautifully designed to provide comfort, privacy and relaxation. Every room features an en-suite shower and toilet.

Mandali’s kitchen will provide three vegetarian meals per day, prepared with the best selection of organic fresh and local ingredients. Each meal is served buffet style. They will also be able to cater for special dietary needs such as vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free, providing balanced alternative menus (you will be asked to provide dietary information as part of your registration process). There will be filtered water, tea, and fresh fruit available all day, every day.

Course Description

The ability to gather together and be with teachings and practices, silence, nature and each other quietly is a great privilege and something many of us have been without for far too long. We are looking forward to welcoming each of you.

We will practice many sessions of meditation coupled with Yin and Yang Yoga, time for hiking and swimming, sauna and massage, partner inquiry sessions, gourmet plant based meals (with some dairy options), as well as private and small group sessions with Sarah or Ty for each participant.

The teachings will emphasize the heart opening methods inspired by the 7 points of Mind Training taught by Atisha, an 11th century Indian Yogi who spent his later years transforming the Tibetan Buddhist views on compassion and awareness as lived in everyday life. These down to earth teachings have been widely followed for centuries, earning Atisha at the time the nickname ’Sublime teacher of impulsive behavior and its results.’

In advance of the retreat, you may enjoy reading, Always Maintain A Joyful Mind by Pema Chodron, Sarah’s new book Lit From Within as well as viewing Sarah’s teachings on Opening the Mind Lojong 1-6.
We look forward to each of you being able to drop in, open up, and dive deep as you ignite and reclaim the profound resources dwelling within you.
