Building Sleep On And Off The Mat

Rest arrives much more easier when the body feels safe in stillness, silence and letting go. In this course you will learn and apply the four principles of yin yoga. Applying the principles ON the mat helps the body let go of stress and anxiety, allows the body release emotions in the tissues and improves flexibility . Applying these principles OFF the mat creates a road the mind can follow when the body needs to rest but the mind is activated. In this course we focus on the principles on the mat, with a yin practice and off the mat with a daily invitation. This course can take you 4 days, if you choose to work on one principle per day, but it can also take you more time if you care called to take more time and explore a principle for various days and see how it unfolds! However you choose to navigate it is the right way.
