From 10th to 16th December 2009, the COMO Shambhala
Estate near Ubud in Bali will welcome Sarah Powers - a premier,
California-based teacher known for her ‘Insight Yoga’ approach - to lead
a special retreat., .
Sarah, who has taught Yoga since 1987,
interweaves the insights and practices of Yoga and Buddhism. Her
style blends both in a Yin sequence of long held poses to enhance
the meridian and organ systems, combined with a flow or Yang
practice, which is influenced by Viniyoga, Ashtanga, and Iyengar
teachings.
Sarah also focuses on preparing the
mind for effective meditation. By taking time away from our busy
schedules to commit our attention to our inner development, she
believes all of us have the capacity to refresh the way we live
our lives. She draws from her studies in Transpersonal Psychology,
as well as her training in the Vipassana, Tantric and Dzogchen
practices of Buddhism.
The retreat in December
will begin with silent sitting practice each morning and two Yoga
sessions per day. The Yin style encourages suppleness in the
body’s core while invigorating chi (prana) to flow throughout the
joints, balancing the organ and meridian systems. A Yang
(flow-style) asana practice follows, geared toward strengthening
the core while creating ease and grace in movement.
Sarah will also be engaging with students over healthful
meals, which are designed to complement the Yoga practice. Sarah
is a co-founder of Metta Journeys, a service-oriented organisation
that offers Yoga retreats internationally to help women and
children in developing countries. She is also the author of an
upcoming book Insight Yoga: Integrating Yin/Yang Yoga and Buddhist
Meditation.
