Meditation, like Yoga itself, comes in many shapes, forms, and styles. Yin meditation is a more unstructured and free flowing meditative practice much like Yin yoga itself. Borrowing elements from Taoism and teachers such as Jason Siff and Josh Summers, we will explore the practice of yin yoga itself and cultivating and practicing the concept of Yin meditation. In order to fully understand the difference between aspects of meditative practice we will also move through a few yang styles of meditation. One of the primary goals of yin meditation is to meet our minds as they are and through doing this cultivate, over time, more compassion for our minds and the way they change, function, and move through the world. This workshop will include a brief overview of meditative styles, an introduction and class theme structured around yin meditation as well as a 90 minute yin practice.
