August 3 - 6 Sarahjoy Marsh
Awakening into the Sacred: Anusara Yoga and Meditation

Yoga as a physical and metaphysical discipline invites us to experience ourselves and the world with profoundly fresh and expansive awareness. Meditation serves as the tuning fork for awareness, reminding us of the vast silence from which all thoughts, sensations, sounds and seasons rise.

This weekend includes practices in asana, pranayama and meditation and discussion of the philosophy of yoga applied to day-to-day life. Our explorations will include the teachings of the Koshas as a model for understanding how to create depth in practice on and off the mat. Understanding the physical, mental, energetic and cognitive yogas, allows us to rest effortlessly in the innate lucidity of the heart, where lasting shifts occur.

Bringing together yoga practice with contemplation of the dharma, this weekend will be a renewal for your body and a re-inspiration for your mind and heart. Intermediate and Advanced levels are welcome.
