Such a pleasure and privilege to teach with Tobie Tomkinson at Ashiyana Yoga ! 🙇🏻♀️ Every year it just gets better and better, a real coming home 💛
Ashiyana means ‘home’ , and it’s truly is, for all, in the very literal sense of the place feeling like home away from home, and of course more importantly it’s a place so many people come home to themselves , to their hearts, and to their true nature 💛
This week of yin yoga is more than just learning about poses, fascia and Chinese medicine, although all those aspects are important & fascinating, but really what this week becomes is also a a massive reset to all that join.
A week of literally learning the art of relaxation on all levels, body, mind and spirit.
To allow all that is arising, arise, and be present to simply what is. To give space and time to feel again, to listen, slow down, drop in and de-fragment.
I believe we truly the medicine of yin more than ever in this tumultuous world, to find that true inner peace and stillness within, and know how to access it again and again through the practice of meditation, yin yoga and the wisdom of Taoism. And then to be able to go and offer and share this with the world.
Plus we shared a lot of joy, and singing together too!
Of course the location makes it incredibly special too, to be nested in this valley near these impressive mountains is so awe inspiring, and to be able to swim in the salt water pool, or take a short walk to the tranquil lake is heaven on earth.
Come and join us next year to experience for yourself 🤗
Also in the works in a ‘part 2’ that will continue afterward where we will go deeper into the practice of yin, and how to incorporate sound medicine into your classes ✨ stay tuned for updates!
Thank you to ‘Sangha of Stillness’ for being part of it!
Pictures are a collection from everyone that joined, thank you for sharing your wonderful captures ❤️
