Join acclaimed yoga and meditation teacher Sarah Powers for a powerful journey into awareness and insight using asana, vinyasa and meditation. Sarah presents her unique blend of Yin yoga, vinyasa yoga and the meditation traditions of Buddhism to create an energetic yet safe environment for profound inner exploration. In order for our practices to encourage a balanced equilibrium on all levels of our being, we must address both the Yin, or receptive aspects of our nature, as well as the Yang, or active, radiant qualities. These two primordial energies are considered to be inseparable in all forms of existence, with any imbalance in our body/mind organism traceable to either an excess or depletion of these Yin or Yang energies. Each day it is essential that we assess our overall constitution and choose the practices best suited to balance us. Sarah's interest in understanding the inseparability of the physical, energetic, emotional and mental domains of our being has inspired her to interweave these teachings from Chinese medicine with the rich traditions of Yoga. This union forms the basis of Yin/Yang Yoga, and the foundation of the practices presented on this DVD. Through their application we aim to restore and revitalize the body and mind, while cultivating an inner atmosphere for contemplation and meditation to arise with greater ease. Included in this DVD: Over 4 hours of practice material 2 unique 1-hour Yin yoga sequences with commentaries on Buddhadharma and Chinese medicine a 1 hour vigourous Vinyasa sequence a 40-minute Sun Salutation sequence a 10-minute guided Sivasana relaxation practice a 30-minute guided meditation practice programmable sequences for a variety of practice combinations detailed menus guide you through a wealth of information suitable for all levels of yoga and meditation practitioners

Great for self practice
I was first introduced to insight yoga when I went on a yoga retreat in the Cotswold, before that I have been mainly practicing ashtanga yoga and found this tremendously useful in complementing the more "yang' practice as it's emphasizes on the parasympathetic nervous system on the anatomical level.The gentler yin sequences also really teaches you to focus on your breath, Sarah has a very soothing and natural voice that alo discusses aspects of Buddhist dharma which can help you focus your mind when you get distracted so you can re focus your awareness onto your breath.Great for home self practice - always feel 101% rejuvenated after using it!
