YIN - YANG - YOGA for POC
2nd Friday of each month, 6-7.15pm
with APARNA
The intention of this class & its structure is to celebrate, support and honor the needs of current and future students of color in our community to practice alongside one another in a safe and welcoming environment with a teacher of color. The purpose of YIN-YANG YOGA FOR POC classes is to address the specific practice needs of these groups, and to create a space where people who share similar experiences can come together to be restored, replenished and healed.
An all Levels Yoga Class offering a healing space for those identifying as people of color Yin-Yang-Nidra for People of Color class is an entry point for people new to yoga, as well as a means for those with yoga experience to continue to evolve their practice. There will be an opportunity to explore yoga & mindfulness practices using them to reclaim personal power and heal the experience of being a person of color in America.
A Yoga class designed for balancing energy, flexibility, strength and ending with a deep guided relaxation. Many thanks to Asian American Association of New Mexico for their support.
Yin-Yang Yoga blends two styles of yoga into one practice – bringing together the benefits of passively holding yoga poses with more dynamic sequences and standing postures. Yin and Yang are the Taoist concepts which describe the two relative qualities present in everything. Yin is more internal, passive, cooling and downward. Yang is more external, dynamic, warming and upward. Combining both Yin and Yang elements in one class provides a balanced practice and can have a powerful effect on our energy levels. The practice of yin/yang yoga helps us learn about stillness in movement and the flow in stillness.
