YogaToday is pleased and proud to host this master teacher for a very special, in-depth weekend workshop. Dive in, discover, rest and restore with Joe Barnett (USA):
The Quiet Pranayama combines breath work and visualization to harmonize ones energy body and draw the physical and the subtle mind(s) deep into the heart.
Yin Yoga is the effort of profound relaxation including a surrender into deep stretches of the spine and hips. This way of asana offers therapeutic, restorative and enlivening medicine for ones joints. Yet the most precious gift in Yin Yoga often arrives at the end of each posture: the full-body surrender into a 1-minute Corpse Pose, “The Rebound.” These brief, reclined meditations will ease the body/mind naturally into The Quiet Heart.
In the words of The Chandogya Upanishad:
“Within the body is an abode in the shape of a lotus (the heart), and within that there is a small space. One must search within this space and earnestly desire to know what is there.”
The above is not a metaphor. Through an exploration of Yin Yoga postures, and a commitment to the power of the heart, we can support each other
to expose hidden desires,
to release what needs released,
to give love to the unseen and untouched pain-body,
to discover the internal gems that bring healing, wholeness & connection to earth, community & divinity.
The Yoga Sutras, the ancient wisdoms of Patanjali calls the internalization effort pratyahara, a sensory withdrawal, and the journey of the mind into the heart. Once we are inside, the yogi develops sraddha, the cultivation of wisdom, light and faith toward higher spiritual aspirations such as love, compassion, justice, as well as the courage and humility needed for the pursuit.
In this experiential course we will discuss and practice in a series of three-phase cycles:
1) Chant, feel and discuss these wisdoms of Patanjali.
2) Practice Yin Yoga to draw inward.
3) The Quiet Heart Pranayama to cultivate spirit.
I hope to dive in, discover, rest and restore with you.
Aum Tat Sat,
Joe
