Yin Yoga & Self Inquiry

Yin yoga is a mild and meditative practice. The invitation is to shift the attention away from thinking and into our feelings. In this class, yin yoga is combined with meditative self-examination. Self inquiry invites you to investigate what you really are as opposed to what you think you are. When we proceed to this contemplative investigation, limiting beliefs and assumptions about yourself and the world will fall away or lose their meaning. When this happens a space of peace reveals itself. This timeless space of peace is what we, in our true essence, are. 

Staying in yin postures for a few minutes gives us the opportunity to focus our attention inside and investigate what is the truth. When we observe what is happening in the now, we learn to distinguish between the true unfiltered experience and the interpretation; the story of the mind. Every sensation, emotion or thought, both pleasant and unpleasant, is changeable, never stable. But what is it that perceives? What or who is the 'I' who is aware of the changeable? Is that also changeable? 

Seated meditation is also part of this lesson.
